Extended diagnostics/alarms via Ethernet, e-mail, SMS and for direct infeed into the SIMATIC software via OPC and logging (optionally via SIMATIC PC DiagMonitor):
Operating hours counter
Hard disk status
Automatic logging of all messages to a log file
Long-term recording and graphic display of measured values (temperature, fan)
Capability for central monitoring of networked SIMATIC PCs
RAID1 for automatic data mirroring on two serial ATA hard disks
Flash drive, via CompactFlash card or solid-state drive accessible from outside, for especially rugged data storage and systems without hard drive
AMT functionality (Intel Active Management Technology). This property permits remote access to the IPC (for servicing), even when the operating system is shut down, e.g.:
Starting/shutdown of the IPC
BIOS update
CMOS batteries are externally accessible and therefore easily replaced
Flash BIOS with the ability to store customer-specific CMOS settings in a non-volatile memory area
The PROFINET and PROFIBUS versions offer 2 MB of battery-backed SRAM for application data
After an unexpected power interruption, up to 128 KB of important process data can be written to the battery-backed SRAM
