Overview
Rack PC family IPC547, IPC647, IPC847
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation IPC547G is an excel-
lent platform for the configuration of single stations, servers and
clients. With their all-round capabilities they are ideally equipped
for numerous applications in process automation. You also have
high-performance alternatives with workstation types IPC647D
and IPC847D.
Because basic components such as chipset, processor and
work memory are identical, many of their technical specifications
are comparable. The essential differences result from the differ-
ent overall heights. Since the IPC647D is only half as high as
IPC847D, the number and variety of the free slots are reduced.
On the other hand, the more compact design requires signifi-
cantly less space and enables higher packing densities in the
control cabinet. This allows the realization of space-saving de-
signs.
The IPC847D is the most powerful and best equipped SIMATIC
PCS 7 Industrial Workstation. Its numerous and varied slots pro-
vide a great deal of potential for expansion. The IPC847D is pre-
destined for use as a server or single station. Since it would be
over-dimensioned as a client, IPC847D is not offered in this ver-
sion.
