High degree of industrial capability

The entire construction is designed for purely industrial use. Thus, for example, a special vibration-absorbing suspension of the hard disk ensures operational reliability, even at high mechanical loads. This makes that the SIMATIC Panel PCs are designed for a vibration load of 1 g and a shock load of 5 g.

Performance

Thanks to the use of the latest Intel processors from ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) to Intel Core technology, SIMATIC Panel PCs are flexibly scalable for your application.

• Scalable computing power
• Highest computing power
• Latest Intel processor technology
• Core i, Dual Core, ULV, Atom, Celeron

Investment security

High component continuity and guaranteed availability of spare parts for up to 5 years after product phase-out are ensured e.g. through the development and production of our own motherboards. This enables long-lasting machine concepts without renewed engineering effort.

Service-friendly device design

Upgrades and exchange of components are easy thanks to the device design.

Integrated interfaces

The different already-integrated interfaces allow for various communication and expansion options. Many models are already equipped with Gigabit Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP/MPI interface.

Expandability

Depending on the model, ISA, PCI and PCI Express slots are available for individual expandability. This enables the further use of existing and new expansion cards.

Compact dimensions

Considering the desired expandability, SIMATIC Panel PCs have an extremely low mounting depth and can thus be used in very narrow installation locations.

Options

Various options enable an individual solution for your industrial application. Thus, the operator control unit can be operated separately from the computer unit by up to 30 m. The direct control key module increases the operating safety in that it can be used to run the process independently of the operating system and without delay directly on PROFIBUS DP/MPI.

Individually expandable system availability

• RAID1 configuration - high system stability through redundant data management
• SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor – Monitoring of the operating states and early detection of problems locally and in the network
• SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator – downtime minimization through preventive data backup
• SITOP and Masterguard power supply (UPS) – Bridging of voltage dips
