SIMATIC IPC427D and SIMATIC IPC477D family

Clients based on the rugged SIMATIC Microbox PC can be used within the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system in the operator system and in SIMATIC BATCH. With their compact design, they are a space-saving alternative to clients based on a SIMATIC BOX PC or SIMATIC Rack PC for these applications. However, the numbers of expansion options and interfaces are comparatively lower.

Two designs are available:

• SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 427D
  computing unit (without monitor) in compact metal enclosure, suitable for mounting rail and wall mounting, optional installation with portrait mounting kit
• SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D
  built-in unit, consisting of 22" TFT Touch Panel with integrated computing unit, suitable for installation in mounting cutouts, e.g. in consoles or cabinets

Both designs are available with hard disk as well as solid state drive. Due to their exceptional physical properties, both versions are suitable for maintenance-free 24/7 operation without the support of a fan.

For the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 427D, visualization of a project/subproject can be distributed to two process monitors connected to the onboard interfaces in multi-monitor mode. For the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D, process control takes place primarily via the integrated 22" display.
