1.1 Overview

SIMATIC IPC847C is an industrial PC in 19″ rack format (4HU) with high-performance industrial functionality.
● Wide range of expansion options
● High degree of ruggedness
● Extensive product continuity

1.2 Areas of application

SIMATIC Rack PCs provide a high-performance and highly flexible 19″ rack PC platform to machine, systems and control cabinet engineering for machine-oriented industrial
applications:
● Measuring, open-loop control and closed-loop control of process data and machine data
● Visualization of production sequences and processes
● Image processing and evaluation in the context of quality inspection
● Data acquisition and management, server applications

The SIMATIC IPC847C is certified to CE for use in the following fields:
● Industry
● Domestic
● Business and commercial use
The device can therefore not only be used in industrial applications but also in building automation or in public facilities.

1.3 Highlights

Highly compatible to industrial standards:

● High operational vibration and shock resistance
● Wide operational temperature range
● High service friendliness
● Distinct diagnostic features

High-performance industrial functionality:

● Integrated PROFIBUS DP / MPI interface (optional)
● Integrated PROFINET interface CP 1616 onboard (optional)
● PCI-, PCIe x1-, PCIe x16 slots
PEG graphics and onboard graphics can be used simultaneously
● High flexibility and expansibility of components

High investment security:

● High continuity of the components/design
● Guaranteed spare parts availability for at least 5 years

High system availability:

● SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor – PC diagnostics/message software by way of OPC/SNMP/LAN
● SIMATIC IPC/PG Image Creator – data imaging software
● RAID based on SAS hard disks through intelligent expansion module
● RAID based on SATA hard disks on-board
● RAID1 – redundant data storage on two hard drives, also “hot swap” in connection with removable racks
● RAID5 – striping with parity on three hard disks, “hot swap” in connection with removable racks
● Optional ECC memory module
● Redundant power supply with status message

Function

● Integrated programmable monitoring functions (program execution (watchdog), internal housing temperature, fan speed)
● Enhanced diagnostic/messaging by way of Ethernet, e-mail, SMS, and for direct input in SIMATIC software by way of OPC (optional using SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor V4.2 or higher):
– Operating hours counter
– Hard disk status
– System status (heartbeat)
– Automatic logging of all messages to a log file
– Option of remote monitoring of networked SIMATIC IPCs
● RAID1 (mirroring):
For automatic data mirroring on two hard disks
● RAID5 (striping with parity):
For increased memory capacity and improved data security on three hard disks
