SIMATIC Box PCs

Control cabinet builders, plant engineers, and mechanical engineers can use SIMATIC Box PCs to create incredibly durable industrial PC systems for use in compact, powerful applications.
SIMATIC IPC127E: An exceptionally compact, versatile, and robust device that combines an industrial PC and an IoT gateway.

A robust, maintenance-free box PC with optimum performance in a compact design is the SIMATIC IPC227 (Nanobox PC).

SIMATIC IPC327: A reasonably priced fanless entry-level box PC

Fanless box PC with an alluring cost/performance ratio is the SIMATIC IPC BX-32A.

SIMATIC IPC BX-39A (Microbox PC): An extremely powerful integrated IPC with a customisable setup and minimal maintenance needs

SIMATIC IPC527: A sturdy box PC at a reasonable cost

The SIMATIC IPC627/IPC827 (Box PC) is the highest-end IPC with the most performance, capability, and expansion possibility.

Benefits

Compact size

The SIMATIC IPC127 is especially well-suited for retrofits and brownfield systems because of its incredibly compact size.

IPC227 SIMATIC
is a nano-format PC that is exceptionally small and energy-efficient. The Nanobox PC's core is its high-performance Intel processor, which comes with a lot of mounting choices.

IPC BX-39A SIMATIC (Microbox PC)
is a tough, ultra-compact device that may be mounted on a DIN rail, on a wall, or in a portrait orientation, and used in the following machine: total depth of 55 millimetres.

IPC627 SIMATIC (Box PC)
With an 80 mm depth without a DVD drive and a maximum overall depth of 100 mm, the Box PC is tiny enough to fit in spaces of all sizes. In addition, the SIMATIC Box IPC627/IPC827 allows for space-saving portrait installation.

Robust style

The goal of any design is to maximise safety when it comes to shock loads and vibration. For example, even under extremely high mechanical loads, operating reliability is guaranteed by a unique vibration-absorbing hard disc suspension. To set up low-maintenance, high-availability diskless systems, there is a solid-state drive (SSD) or an easily accessible flash drive slot.

Particularly well-suited for maintenance-free, round-the-clock operation are the Microbox PC and Nanobox PC, which feature a fanless design and utilise CompactFlash/CFast cards.

Designing devices with services in mind

The Box PC is easily folded out to allow for quick replacement of components. Future expansions to the device can be made with ease by accessing its interior.

Combined interfaces

Every interface on a Box PC is on one side. Box PCs have the ability to interact with the control/cell level through onboard Ethernet ports and, as an optional feature, to communicate in the field through an integrated PROFIBUS interface. An interface such as DVI-I or DisplayPort can be used to connect external monitors or displays.

Flexibility

Many extension options are available, particularly with the SIMATIC IPC827, which has five spare PC slots. Since all Box PCs are CE certified for use in both household and commercial settings, they can be utilised not only for industrial applications but also for public installations and building automation.

Continuity

The SIMATIC Box PCs provide an extremely high level of continuity and investment security because of motherboards that are internally developed and manufactured. When the active marketing period ends, spare parts for the SIMATIC Box PC models are typically available for purchase for a minimum of five years, and orders can typically be placed for a duration of three years.

System availability

SIMATIC Box PCs are delivered ready to use and can be purchased in specific configurations. By using effective self-diagnostics software (SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor) and other data backup solutions (such a RAID system or SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator), the high system availability that is built in can be further increased.
