The programming device, which is optimized for engineering with the TIA Portal, is delivered with pre-installed SIMATIC engineering software STEP 7 and WinCC for configuring controllers and HMIs. With the SIMATIC Field PG M5, you thus receive a turnkey device for mobile use during configuration, commissioning, service or maintenance for all kinds of automation tasks.

The integrated Intel® Active Management Technology (iAMT) permits remote access to the field PG via Standard Ethernet. Remote control of the field PGs, e.g. for restoration, upgrades, diagnostics and troubleshooting, is thus possible and very easy.

The Microsoft BitLocker functionality is supported by the integrated Trusted Platform Module TPM 2.0 and thus offers access and operating system protection as well as secure data encryption.
