The SIMATIC IPC677D is designed for use directly on-site at the machine. The shallow installation depth of just 112/133 mm means it can also be operated in confined spaces.

The PC can be used in production automation as well as in process automation and can be mounted in control cabinets/consoles and swivel arms (booms).

Thanks to the Multi Core CPUs with Intel Core technology, high-performance control and visualization are possible simultaneously.

With PCIe (x16), the new PCI Express cards (x1, x4 and x8) are also supported.

The integral NVRAM (battery-backed) is supported by WinAC RTX with DC or AC power supply, devices with PROFIBUS or PROFINET (IRT capability) are equipped with this.

A SIMATIC HMI IPC is the ideal platform for PC-based Automation:

• PC-based visualization at the machine level on-site with SIMATIC WinCC flexible
• Complex solutions with SIMATIC WinCC process visualization
• PC-based Control with SIMATIC WinAC RTX Software PLC

Siemens offers the complete modular system of harmonically matched automation components.

The SIMATIC HMI lPCs can be ordered in conjunction with WinCC flexible or WinCC as SIMATIC HMI packages at a price advantage (see SIMATIC HMI complete systems).
