Benefits
Compact dimensions
The SIMATIC IPC227D is a particularly compact and energy-
efficient PC in the Nano format. The heart of the Nanobox PC
with particularly many mounting options are high-performance
Intel Atom processors of the latest generation.
The SIMATIC IPC427 (Microbox PC) is an ultra-compact and
rugged device for DIN rail mounting, portrait or wall mounting,
and for use in the machine: mounting depth from 47 mm.
With a maximum mounting depth of 100 mm (80 mm without
DVD drive), the SIMATIC IPC627 (Box PC) can be used even in
the smallest of spaces. In addition, space-saving portrait mount-
ing is possible with the SIMATIC Box IPC627/IPC827.
Rugged design
All designs aim to achieve maximum safety in the case of vibra-
tion and shock loads. For example, a special vibration-absorb-
ing suspension of the hard disk ensures operational reliability,
even at very high mechanical loads. A flash drive slot, which is
easily accessible from outside, or the solid-state drive (SSD) in
the single level cell (SLC) architecture, which is particularly
suitable for industrial applications, is available for setting up low-
maintenance, fault-tolerant, diskless systems. Thanks to its fan-
free design and use of CompactFlash cards, the Microbox PC
and the new Nanobox PC are especially suitable for mainte-
nance-free 24-hour continuous operation.
Service-friendly device design
The Box PC can simply be folded out for speedy component
replacement. The inside of the device is easily accessible for
future expansions.
Integrated interfaces
On Box PCs, all interfaces are located on one side. Box PCs
can be interfaced with the control/cell level via onboard Ethernet
interfaces and communicate in the field via an integrated
PROFIBUS interface, which is available as an option. External
monitors or displays can be connected via a VGA or DVI-I
interface.
Flexibility
Especially the SIMATIC IPC827 with its 5 free PC slots offers
many expansion options. All Box PCs have CE certification for
use in industrial applications and domestic/commercial applica-
tions and can therefore be used in building automation or public
installations in addition to industrial applications.
Continuity
Thanks to motherboards developed and manufactured in-
house, the SIMATIC Box PCs offer very high continuity and
security of investment. The SIMATIC Box PC models can
normally be ordered for a period of three years and spare parts
are obtainable for at least 5 years after active marketing is
concluded.
System availability
SIMATIC Box PCs can be ordered in custom configurations and
are supplied ready for use. The high system availability by
design can be further extended by means of additional data
backup options (e.g. RAID system, SIMATIC IPC Image &
Partition Creator) and efficient software for self-diagnostics
(SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor).
