SIMATIC IPC547G, front with open front door (top) and rear with redundant power supply

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations of type IPC547G are suitable for reliable 24‑hour continuous operation at ambient temperatures between 0 and 40 °C.

The corrosion-resistant 19" all-metal enclosure (4 U) is especially well-protected against dust by a filter and overpressure ventilation. It is service friendly and both mechanically and electromechanically rugged.

SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations of type IPC547G are prepared for mounting on telescopic rails. They can be installed in vertical or horizontal position and in 500 mm deep 19" control cabinets, which saves space. Using an optional tower kit, the Rack PC can be converted into an industrial tower.

Restore DVD Set

The operating system and the SIMATIC PCS 7 software are already pre-installed on the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations. A supplied Restore DVD enables quick restoration to the factory state or a new installation for a different application. The following table shows you the contents of the supplied Restore DVD Set and the pre-installed software for each version of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation.

Individual configuration of SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations

By selecting predefined equipment features, you can individually configure the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation and thus also its article number. Selection tables for single station, server and client are available for this in the "Ordering data" section (paper catalog). An additional selection table enables you to order complete SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations as a replacement part.

The "PCS 7 INDUSTRIAL WORKSTATION IPC547G" configurator in the Industry Mall allows you to interactively select and directly order the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation in the single station, server or client version - either directly for the system or as a replacement part.

Individually configured SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations will be built to order. Therefore the average delivery time for such an order is 15 working days.
