The SIMATIC Box PC 627B provides mechanical engineers, plant engineers, and control cabinet makers with a high-performance, compact PC platform for application at the machine or in the industrial environment for:

• Measuring and controlling of process and machine data (e.g. automated washing systems, robot controls)
• Operating and visualization tasks with separate display/monitor solutions (e.g. information terminals, large-scale displays in automotive production)
• Data acquisition and processing (e.g. production data acquisition, distributed process control)
• Motion Control

The SIMATIC Box PC 627B has CE certification for use in the industrial sector as well as in residential and commercial areas, and small businesses. In addition to industrial applications, it can also be used in building services automation or in facilities open to the public.

It can also be integrated in confined spaces thanks to the low mounting depth of 100 mm (80 mm without CD drive).

The SIMATIC Box PCs can be ordered in combination with WinCC flexible or WinCC as SIMATIC HMI packages at a reduced price.
