■ Application
The SIMATIC Box PC 827B provides mechanical engineers,
plant engineers, and control cabinet makers with a high-perfor-
mance, compact PC platform for application at the machine or
in the industrial environment for:
• Measuring, testing, open-loop and closed-loop control of
process and machine data (e.g. filling plants, packaging
machines, machines for the semiconductor industry, CD/DVD
production machines)
• Operating and visualization tasks with separate display/moni-
tor solutions (e.g. information terminals, large-scale displays
in automotive production)
• Data acquisition and processing (e.g. wind-driven power
stations, energy management, test systems)
The SIMATIC Box PC 827B has CE certification for use in the
industrial sector as well as in residential and commercial areas,
and small businesses. In addition to industrial applications, it
can also be used in building services automation or in facilities
open to the public.
