The SIMATIC IPC477D is designed for use directly on the machine, where the combination of ruggedness and maximum reliability is a major priority (the reliability of an embedded platform) and the openness of a PC is also required (e.g. module expansion and the connection of I/O devices such as printers, keyboards, etc.).

Due to the minimal mounting depth, it can also be used in confined spaces.

The PC can be used in production automation as well as in process automation and can be mounted in control cabinets, control desks or 19" cabinets/racks.

The SIMATIC HMI 477D is the ideal platform for PC-based Automation:

• PC-based visualization, on-site at the machine with SIMATIC WinCC RT Advanced
• PC-based Control with SIMATIC WinAC RTX

Siemens offers a complete modular system of automation components that complement one another perfectly.
