Overview

The SIMATIC Rack PC 847B is a very rugged, high-performance

industrial PC in 19" rack design (4 HU) with excellent industrial

functionality.

It offers:

• Maximum expandability

• Maximum ruggedness

• Intel Core 2 Duo technology

■

Benefits

Maximum industrial compatibility and compactness for 24-

hour use in an industrial environment

• Maximum processor performance (in maximum configuration)

without loss of power (throttling) at ambient temperatures of up

to 50 °C

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

coated, dirt-repellent surfaces

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

ment

• Suitable for installing in space-saving control cabinets only

500 mm deep

• 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 at least 2.5 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)

• Flexible applications in many different positions with

telescopic rails or as tower industrial PC

• High degree of flexibility and expandability thanks to inte-

grated interfaces and up to 11 slots (PCI and PCI-Express)

■

Application

The SIMATIC Rack PC 847B provides machine, systems and

control cabinet engineering companies with a high-performance

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

dustrial 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 847B is certified to CE for industrial

applications.
