Overview

SIMATIC Rack PCs provide flexible, high-availability industrial

PC systems for powerful yet compact applications using 19"

technology.

Three device classes are available for different requirements:

• SIMATIC Rack PC 547B – maximum performance at an

attractive price with Intel Core 2 Duo technology

• SIMATIC Rack PC 647B - maximum compactness for excel-

lent industrial functionality with Intel Core 2 Duo technology

• SIMATIC Rack PC 847B – maximum expandability for excel-

lent industrial functionality with Intel Core 2 Duo technology

Shared functions

• Maximum system performance for complex automation tasks

in the industrial environment through use of Intel Core 2 Duo

processors

• Designed for 24-hour continuous operation

• Monitoring and diagnostics functions (e.g. temperature, fan,

watchdog)

• RAID1 configuration (mirrored drives), optionally in "hot swap"

frames

• Compact dimensions for installation in control cabinets only

500 mm deep

• Dust protection thanks to overpressure ventilation concept

with fan on the front and dust filter

• Lockable front panel or front door

• Service-friendly equipment design due to prepared telescopic

rail mounting

• Universal implementation as an industrial workstation or

server

• Operating system preinstalled and activated for fast startup

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

restore DVD

• High flexibility and expandability of components

• PCI and PCI-Express expansion slots

• Independent industrial product design

SIMATIC Rack PC 547B –

maximum performance at an attractive price with Intel Core

2 Duo technology

• Maximum processor performance in maximum configuration

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

to 40 °C

• Hard disks with capacities up to 250 GB for large volumes of

data

• Low noise output thanks to controlled fan

• Status and alarm LEDs at the front for signaling critical alarm

states

• Availability at least 1.5 years

• Guaranteed spare parts availability for at least 3 years

SIMATIC Rack PC 647B –

maximum compactness for excellent industrial functionality

with Intel Core 2 Duo technology

• Maximum compactness with up to 3 free PCI/PCI Express

slots for installing long expansion cards and

integrated interfaces for communication, e.g. integrated

PROFIBUS/MPI or PROFINET interface

• Maximum thermal stability up to 50 °C ambient temperature

even at maximum processor performance

• High vibration/shock resistance thanks to special hard disk

holders

• Service-friendly device design due, for example, to the re-

placement of filters/fans from front without the need for tools or

the opening of the enclosure with just one screw.

• Front LED concept for efficient self-diagnostics, e.g. monitor-

ing of the hard disks in RAID1 configurators, fans or the status

display for Ethernet, Profinet and Profibus.

• Integrated PROFIBUS DP/MPI or PROFINET interface

(optional)

• High continuity of the components/design

• Motherboard developed and manufactured by Siemens

• 3 to 5 years availability

• Guaranteed spare parts availability for at least 5 years

SIMATIC Rack PC 847B –

maximum expandability for excellent industrial functionality

with Intel Core 2 Duo technology

•

Maximum expandability due to 11 fr

ee PCI/PCI Express slots

for installing long expansion cards and integrated interfaces

for communication, e.g. integrated PROFIBUS/MPI or

PROFINET interface

• High thermal stability up to 50 °C even at maximum processor

performance
