3.2 Areas of application
The SIMATIC Box IPC627C provides engineers building machines, plants and switch
cabinets with a high-performance, expandable PC platform for industrial application on the
plant floor:
Measurement, controlling and regulation of process and machine data, for example, for
redundant process control systems and transport systems in production facilities
Operating and visualization tasks with separate display / monitor solutions, for example,
large-scale displays in automotive production
Data logging and processing, for example, production data logging, distributed process
control
The SIMATIC IPC627C 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.
