Maximum system performance for complex automation and visualization tasks

• State-of-the-art PC technology (e.g. Intel Core i processors 6th generation with Turbo Boost 2.0, hyper-threading and virtualization technology)
• Memory and graphics controller integrated into processor for extraordinary memory and graphics performance
• Maximum performance (e.g. Intel C236 chipset, DDR4 memory with the support of dual-channel technology)
• High data transfer rates (e.g. with serial ATA solid-state drive up to 480 GB, serial ATA hard disks up to 2 TB, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express 3.0 technology)

Reduction in downtimes through high system availability

• 24-hour operation (high MTBF, variable-speed fan)
• Efficient self-diagnostics (front status LEDs for fan and temperature, SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor)
• High degree of data security due to RAID1 (mirror disk system) or RAID5 (striping with parity), also with additional hot spare hard disk
• "Hot swap" drive bays in RAID configuration (replacement of hard disk during operation)
• Fast identification and replacement of the hard disk in the event of a fault by means of HDD alarm LEDs for RAID configurations
• Solid-state drive option in conjunction with RAID1 (data in the RAID1 network on hard disks, preinstalled and activated operating system on solid-state drive)
• Redundant power supply with "hot swap" functionality (replacement of power supply module during operation)

High flexibility and user friendliness during commissioning, operation and service

• Preinstalled and activated operating system
• IAMT (Intel Active Management Technology) functionality for remote access to the IPC (remote maintenance)
• Fast restoration of the delivery status of the hard disk(s) thanks to restore DVD
• Low noise output thanks to controlled fans
• Universal implementation as an industrial workstation or server
• RAID1/RAID5 onboard (a PCI slot is not occupied by the RAID Controller)
• Flexible applications in many different positions with telescopic rails or as industrial tower PC
• Intel Hybrid multi-monitor support for connecting up to 5 monitors in combination with optional PCIe x16 graphics card
• High degree of flexibility and expandability thanks to integrated interfaces and 7 slots (P CI and PCI Express)

High industrial compatibility and compactness for 24-hour use in an industrial environment

• Distinct product design with user-friendly enclosure concept
• Maximum processor performance (in maximum configuration) without loss of power (throttling) at ambient temperatures of up to 40 °C
• Metal enclosure with a high degree of electromagnetic compatibility and corrosion resistance for use in industrial areas as well as in domestic, business and commercial environments
• Suitable for installing in space-saving control cabinets only 400 mm deep (short enclosure version)
• Dust protection thanks to overpressure ventilation concept with fan on the front and dust filter
• Special hard disk holders and card retainers for protection against vibration and shock

Cost reductions through high investment security

• Availability of at least 2 years, guaranteed availability of spare parts for 3 years
• System-tested with SIMATIC components
• Certification for worldwide marketing (cULus)
• Support for legacy interfaces (PS/2, COM, LPT)
• Installation compatible spanning generations of devices
• Worldwide service and support
