Overview

The SIMATIC Rack PC 647B is a very rugged, high-performance

industrial PC in 19" rack design (2HU) with excellent industrial

functionality.

It offers:

• Maximum compactness

• Maximum ruggedness

• Intel Core 2 Duo technology

■

Benefits

Maximum compactness and industrial compatibility for

24-hour use in an industrial environment

• Compact housing design (2HU)

• Suitable for installing in space-saving control cabinets only

500 mm deep

• Maximale Prozessorleistung (im Vollausbau) ohne Leistungs-

verlust (Throttling) bis 50 °C Umgebungstemperatur

• Specific product design with a new front design and flat,

coated, dirt-repellent surfaces

• All-metal housing with high EMC for use in industrial

environment

• Dust protection thanks to overpressure ventilation concept

with fan on the front and dust filter

• Special hard disk mountings and card retainers for protection

against vibration and shock

High productivity thanks to faster data processing

• State-of-the-art PC technology (e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo and

Extended Memory 64 (EM64T) processor technology)

• High-level performance (e.g. Intel 945GM Express Chipset,

DDR2 memory supporting dual-channel technology)

• High data transfer rates (e.g. with Serial ATA hard disks,

dual Gbit Ethernet)

■

Benefits (continued)

Reduction in standstill times thanks to high system

availability

• Assured 24-hour operation (high MTBF, speed-controlled fan)

• Efficient self-diagnostics (status display for Ethernet and

PROFIBUS; alarm display for fan, temperature, watchdog and

hard disks in RAID1 configuration, SIMATIC PC DiagMonitor)

• High degree of data security thanks to mirror drive system,

optionally in "hot swap" frames

• Service-friendly design (modifications, servicing)

Cost reductions through high investment security

• Long-term platform with embedded Intel components

• Availability for 3-5 years, guaranteed availability of component

spare parts for 5 years

• System-tested with SIMATIC components

• Certification for global marketing (cULus)

• Support for legacy interfaces (PS/2, COM, LPT)

• Installation compatible for many device generations

• Global service and support

Minimization of costs through time savings for

commissioning, operation and servicing

• Preinstalled and activated operating system

• Fast restoration of the delivery status of the HDD thanks to

restore DVD

• Low noise output thanks to controlled fan

• Universal implementation as an industrial workstation or

server

• PROFIBUS or PROFINET interface and RAID1 controller

onboard (optional)

• 2 x LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s connections (Gbit LAN with

teaming capability)

• Fast identification and replacement of the hard disk in the

event of a fault (e.g. front LEDs for HDD alarm in RAID1

configuration)

• High degree of flexibility and expandability thanks to inte-

grated interfaces and up to 3 slots (PCI and PCI-Express)

■

Application

The SIMATIC Rack PC 647B provides machine, systems and

control cabinet engineering companies with a high-performance

and highly flexible 19" rack PC platform for machine-oriented

industrial applications:

• Measuring, open-loop control and closed-loop control of

process and machine data

• Visualization of manufacturing sequences

• Computing and processing of images within the scope of

quality inspections

• Data acquisition and management

The SIMATIC Rack PC 647B has CE certification for use in the

industrial sector as well as in residential and commercial areas,

and small businesses. In addition to the industrial applications,

it can also be used in building services automation or in facilities

open to the public.
