The design of the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D has been optimized for installation in mounting cutouts of cabinets, enclosures or consoles.

Both versions of the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D are suitable for maintenance-free 24/7 operation without the support of a fan.

The more rugged SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D with SSD can bear greater mechanical loads. With vertical installation in landscape format, the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D is approved for operating temperatures of 0 to +45 °C.

Using a touch pen as an input aid protects the touch screen and makes it easy to achieve pin-point accuracy when operating small input boxes or buttons – especially when working with gloves.

Expansions/interfaces

The SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D (HDD/SSD) features:

• 4 USB 3.0 ports, rear (max. 2 high-current ports can be used simultaneously)
• 1 USB 2.0 port, front, on TFT Panel (high current)
• 1 COM1 port (RS 232)
• 1 DVI-I port (combined DVI/VGA)
• 1 DisplayPort (DVI with DPP-to-DVI adapter)
• 2 Ethernet interfaces 10/100/1000 Mbps (RJ45)

The two integrated Ethernet interfaces have a teaming capability and are thus suitable for connection to a redundant terminal bus (for details on implementation, refer to the function manual "Fault-tolerant process control systems", Section "Redundant, fault-tolerant terminal bus").

The SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client 477D (HDD/SSD) is supplied without input/output devices. In addition to mouse and keyboard, two other input/output devices can be externally connected via the provided USB ports, e.g. an optical drive (DVD-ROM/DVD±RW) or smart card reader.

Monitoring functions

Configurable monitoring functions can be recorded and evaluated via SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor and SIMATIC PCS 7 Maintenance Station. These monitoring functions include:

• Program execution (watchdog)
• Processor and board temperatures
• Enhanced diagnostics/messages, e.g. operating hours counter, hard disk status or system status, backup battery status
