• Maximum performance (e.g. Intel Q67 chipset, DDR3 1333 memory with support of dual channel technology)
• High data transfer rates (e.g. with serial ATA Solid-State Drive (SLC) with 50 GB, serial ATA hard disks up to 1 TB, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-Express 2.0 technology)

Reduction in downtimes through high system availability

• Secure 24-hour operation (high MTBF, variable-speed fan)
• Efficient self-diagnostics (front status LEDs for fan and temperature, SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor)
• High degree of data security due to RAID1 (mirror disks system) or RAID5 (striping with parity)
• “Hot swap” removable drive bay in RAID configuration (replacement of hard disk during operation)
• Fast identification and replacement of the hard disk in the event of a fault by means of HDD alarm LEDs for RAID configurations
• Solid-State Drive (SSD) in single level cell (SLC) architecture
• Redundant power supply with “hot swap” functionality (replacement of power supply module during operation)

High flexibility and user friendliness during commissioning, operation and service

• Preinstalled and activated operating system
• IAMT (Intel Active Management Technology) functionality for remote access to the IPC (remote maintenance)
• Fast restoration of the delivery status of the hard disk(s) thanks to restore DVD
• Low noise output thanks to controlled fans
• Universal implementation as an industrial workstation or server
• RAID1/RAID5 onboard (a PCI slot is not occupied by the RAID Controller)
• Flexible applications in many different positions with telescopic rails or as tower industrial PC.
• High degree of flexibility and expandability thanks to integrated interfaces and 7 slots (PCI and PCI-Express)

High 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 40 °C
• Distinct product design with fully-coated, dirt-resistant surfaces
• Metal enclosure with a high degree of electromagnetic compatibility for use in industrial areas and in domestic, business and commercial environments
• 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

Cost reductions through high investment security

• Availability of at least 1.5 years, guaranteed availability of spare parts for 3 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

The SIMATIC IPC547D offers system integrators, cabinet designers, plant constructors and mechanical equipment manufacturers a 19″ rack PC platform for high-performance applications and IT applications at the control and cell levels. It can be used for:

• Process and visualization applications
• Industrial high-end image processing
• Quality assurance/monitoring tasks
• Measuring and control tasks
• Data acquisition/management

The SIMATIC PC547D has the CE mark for use in the industrial sector as well as in residential and commercial areas, and small businesses. In addition to industrial applications, it can therefore also be used in building services automation or in facilities open to the public.

The SIMATIC Rack IPCs can be ordered in connection with WinCC flexible, WinCC RT Advanced, WinCC or WinAC RTX/F as SIMATIC HMI packages at favorable prices.

Multi Core processor technology

Thanks to the use of two or four processor cores, the Multi Core processors are ideally suited to multi-thread application programs and multitasking. Several demanding applications – such as visualization applications with demanding graphics or programs executing extensive calculations – can be executed at the same time to enhance the response time of the system.

Thanks to energy-optimized Multi Core technology and outstanding energy-saving properties, the Core processors permit the execution of highly complex applications even at increased temperatures up to 40 °C without loss of performance.

The SIMATIC IPC547D is preconfigured for Multi Core technology with Intel Core processors and Microsoft operating systems, and offers higher performance and better multitasking in the industrial environment.

Multi-display technology

The multi-display architecture with its modern functions for desktop and application management supports working with several screens and therefore considerably enhances productivity. The SIMATIC IPC547D with an optional dual-head graphics card (PCI Express x16) is optimized for industrial multi-display environments. The following screen modes are supported: Native DualView, Span or Big Desktop, Clone.

Connection options: 2 x VGA or 2 x DVI-D

In addition, in the SIMATIC IPC547D you can use the two already existing onboard graphics interfaces in combination with the optional dual-head graphics card is used so that operation with up to four monitors is possible.

Monitoring functions

Integrated monitoring functions: Temperature inside enclosure, fan speed (CPU, power supply and front fan), program execution (watchdog), battery

Expanded diagnostics/messages via Ethernet, e-mail, text message and for direct transfer to SIMATIC software via OPC (optionally via SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor):

• Operating hours counter
• Hard disk status, also for RAID configurations
• System mode
• Automatic logging of all alarms by means of a log file
• Capability for central monitoring of networked SIMATIC IPC

IAMT functionality (Intel Active Management Technology)

This feature allows remote access to the IPC (for service work) even if the operating system is shut down for diagnostics and troubleshooting:

• Controlled startup/shutdown of the IPC
• Access to BIOS settings and possible BIOS update
• Measures by means of remote access in the event of a fault, e.g. reboot
• Software updates from integrated ISO image

RAID controller onboard

RAID1 (mirroring) for automatic data mirroring on two SATA hard disks, or RAID5 (striping with parity) for optimized utilization of capacity with high degree of fault tolerance on three SATA hard disks.
