Overview
SIMATIC IPC427E and SIMATIC IPC477E family
Clients based on the rugged SIMATIC Microbox PC can be used
within the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system in the operator
system and in SIMATIC BATCH. With their compact design, they
are a space-saving alternative to clients based on a SIMATIC
BOX PC or SIMATIC Rack PC for these applications. However,
the numbers of expansion options and interfaces are compara-
tively lower.
Two designs are available:
•
SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client 427E
computing unit (without monitor) in compact metal enclosure,
suitable for mounting rail and wall mounting, optional instal-
lation with portrait mounting kit
•
SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client 477E
built-in unit, consisting of 22" TFT Touch Panel with integrated
computing unit, suitable for installation in mounting cutouts,
for example in consoles or cabinets
Both designs are available with hard disk as well as solid state
drive. Due to their exceptional physical properties, both versions
are suitable for maintenance-free 24/7 operation without the sup-
port of a fan.
For the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client 427E, visualization of a project/
subproject can be distributed to two process monitors con-
nected to the onboard interfaces in multi-monitor mode. For the
SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client 477E, process control is primarily via
the integrated 22" display.
