Siemens Industrial PC with Intel Core i7 Processors

The Siemens Industry Automation division has simultaneously equipped four new industrial PCs - designed for tough industrial environments - with the mobile processor versions Intel Core i3 (2.13 Gigahertz) to Core i7 (2.53 Gigahertz). The compact Simatic IPC627C box PC and the Simatic HMI IPC677C panel PC are suitable for high-speed measurement, open and closed-loop control tasks, as well as for HMI functions directly at machine level. The robust 19" series of devices includes the Simatic IPC847C rack PC, which is four units high and has extensive expansion options, and the compact Simatic IPC647C rack PC, which is two units high, both of which are suitable for processing large volumes of data. All the new PCs are designed for continuous 24-hour service, even when subjected to high temperatures, vibrations, impact and electromagnetic interference.

The RAM is expandable up to 8 GB in both rack PCs and up to 4 GB in the IPC627C and HMI IPC677C. All versions are equipped with a DVI interface (VGA via optional adapter) and with two 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet ports with teaming capability. Further options include the preinstalled and activated Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows XP Professional operating systems and, for the IPC627C/677C, also Windows Embedded Standard 2009. Windows Server 2008 Standard is available for the IPC647C/847C and HMI IPC677C versions.
