Overview
PC platform with high degree of industrial compatibility for
demanding tasks in the area of PC-based automation.
Rugged construction:
The PC is resistant to the harshest mechanical stress and is
reliable in operation.
• Compact design
• High degree of investment protection
• Fast integration capability
• Front panel versions:
- 12", 15", 17" and 19" TFT Touch
- 12" and 15" TFT Key
- 15" TFT Touch, stainless steel/INOX
• The operator control unit and computing unit can be placed
30 m apart (optional).
■
Benefits
• Excellent industrial compatibility due to rugged construction,
even when subjected to extreme vibration and shock
• High level of investment security thanks to assured spare
parts availability of the components (for 5 years following the
end of active marketing)
• Excellent continuity of components for machine concepts with
a long service life without any new engineering costs
• Savings in time and costs due to service-friendly equipment
construction:
- Operator control unit and computer unit can be simply
hinged open for fast replacement of components or for future
expansion
- USB 2.0 interfaces on the front and rear for quick and easy
connection of additional hardware components
• High degree of industrial functionality thanks to integrated
PROFIBUS DP/MPI or PROFINET interfaces (CP1616-
compatible) and 2 GB Ethernet interfaces
• Operational reliability
Using the optional direct control key module, the process can
be operated without delay over PROFIBUS DP independently
of the operating system
• 2 x ≥ 80 GB SATA hard disk system (configured as a single
disk system or RAID1)
• Reduction in standstill times thanks to high system availability
• Efficient self-diagnostics (SIMATIC PC DiagMonitor):
- Solutions for preventative data security
• Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):
- Enhanced productivity, reduction of engineering costs,
reduction of lifecycle costs
- Spatially separated configuration of computer and operator
control unit possible with the Remote Kit (up to 30 m,
optionally available as accessories)

Application
SIMATIC Panel PC 677B is designed for use directly at the
machine. Due to the minimal mounting depth of only 105/
130 mm, it can also be used in confined spaces.
The PC can be used in production automation as well as in
process automation and can be mounted in control cabinets,
control desks, 19" cabinets/racks and in gantries.
The Dual Core CPUs with Intel Core 2 Duo technology support
simultaneously high performance control and visualization.
With PCIe (x4), the new PCI express (PCIe) cards (x1 and x4) are
also supported.
The integrated NV-RAM is supported from WinAC RTX 2005 SP2
and with DC power supply.
A SIMATIC Panel PC is the ideal platform for PC based
Automation:
• PC based visualization on site at the machine with SIMATIC
WinCC flexible
• Complex solutions with SIMATIC WinCC process visualization
• PC-based Control with SIMATIC WinAC Software PLC or with
SIMATIC WinAC Slot PLC
Siemens offers the complete set of building blocks of automation
components that are designed to interact perfectly.
The SIMATIC Panel PCs can be ordered in combination with
WinCC flexible or WinCC as SIMATIC HMI packages at a lower
price (see SIMATIC HMI complete systems).
