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

• Maximum processor performance (in maximum configuration) without loss of power (throttling) at ambient temperatures of up to 50 °C
• Distinct product design with new front design and fully-coated, dirt-resistant surfaces
• All-metal housing with high EMC for use in industrial environment
• Suitable for installing in space-saving control cabinets only 500 mm deep
• 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

High productivity thanks to faster data processing

• Intel® processors of the 4th generation: Xeon, Core i5 or Core i3 with turbo-boost, hyper-threading and virtualization technology
• Graphics controller (HD graphics 4600) integrated in the processor for exceptionally high graphics performance
• Maximum performance (e.g. Intel C226 Express chipset, DDR3 memory with the support of dual-channel technology)
• High data transfer rates (e.g. PCI-Express technology: Gen 2 and Gen 3, USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (500 Mbit/s), SATA III / 6 Gbit/s)

Reduction in downtimes through high system availability

• Secure 24-hour operation (high MTBF, variable-speed fan) at ambient temperature up to 50° C
• High data security due to RAID configurations: Onboard RAID controller or high-performance hardware RAID controllers (PCIe x8) with Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection module
• RAID1 configuration: Redundant data storage on two SATA or SAS hard disks, also in hot-swap removable drive bays and with additional SSD (for operating system) or hot spare hard disk option
• RAID5 configuration: Striping with parity on three SATA or SA hard disks for increased memory capacity in hot-swap removable drive bays, with additional hot spare hard disk option
• "Hot swap" HDD in removable drive bay in RAID configurations (replacement of hard disk during operation)
• "Hot spare" HDD in removable drive bay in RAID configurations (the rebuild process on the "hot spare" hard disk starts up automatically)
• Fast identification and replacement of the hard disk in the event of a fault by means of HDD alarm LEDs for RAID configurations and unambiguous numbering
• Status display (front LEDs) for Ethernet and PROFIBUS or PROFINET; alarm indication for fan, temperature, watchdog and hard disks in RAID1/5 configurations
• Efficient self-diagnostics per SIMATIC PC DiagBased or DiagMonitor software (optional)
• Remote control and maintenance with iAMT 9.0 (Intel® Active Management Technology)
• Solid-state drive (SSD) and ECC memory (optional)
• Redundant AC power supply with "hot swap" functionality (replacement of power supply module during operation), optional
• Integrated UPS (uninterruptible power supply) - AC power supply incl. maintenance-free lead-tin battery (optional)
• Redundant Gbit LAN connections (teaming capability)
• Securing of the replaceable components at the front (e.g. USB software dongle) against unauthorized access by means of a lockable door
• Locked fan cover: Filter mat and front fan can only be replaced when front door is open
• The enclosure cover can only be opened if the front door is open
• Secure internal USB slot in device for software dongle, for example
• Service-friendly device design (modifications, service) e.g. filter replacement or front fan replacement without tools

Cost reductions through high investment security

• Platform with long-term stability and embedded Intel components
• Availability of 3 to 6 years, guaranteed availability of spare parts for 5 years
• System-tested with SIMATIC components
• Certification for worldwide marketing (cULus)
• Support for legacy interfaces (PS/2, COM, LPT)
• Installation compatible for many device generations
• Worldwide service and support

Reduced costs due to time savings for commissioning, operation and servicing

• High degree of flexibility and expandability thanks to integrated interfaces and up to 11 slots (PCI and PCI-Express)
• Preinstalled and activated operating system
• Fast restoration of the delivery status of the HDD thanks to restore DVD
• Low noise output thanks to controlled fan
• Universal implementation as an industrial workstation or server
• PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface and RAID1/5 controller onboard (optional)
• 2 x LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s connections (Gbit LAN with teaming capability)
• Flexible applications in many different positions with telescopic rails or as tower industrial PC
• Remote maintenance with iAMT technology and SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager software
