Application

The SIMATIC IPC 547C offers system integrators, cabinet designers, system engineers and
machine designers a 19″ rack PC platform for high-performance IT applications on the
control and cell levels. It can be used for:
● Process and visualization applications
● Industrial image processing
● Quality assurance / surveillance tasks
● Measurement, control and rule-based tasks
● Data acquisition and management
The SIMATIC IPC547C has CE certification for use in the industrial sector as well as in
residential and commercial areas, and small businesses. In addition to the industrial
applications, it can also be used in building services automation or in facilities open to the
public.

Design

 19″ rack, 4 HU
 Robust full metal rack design case, lacquered outside and coated
inside
 Prepared for mounting telescopic rails
 Horizontal and vertical mounting position is possible
 Tower installation by means of Tower Kit
 Lockable front cover as access protection

Function

● Integrated, assigned monitoring functions
– Fan speed (CPU, power supply and front fan)
– Temperature (case, mainboard)
– Program execution (watchdog)
● RAID1 (mirroring) for automatic data mirroring of two serial ATA hard drives
● RAID5 (striping with parity) for increased memory and improved data security on three
serial ATA hard disks
● Enhanced diagnostic/messaging by way of Ethernet, E-mail, SMS, and for direct input in
SIMATIC software by way of OPC (optional using SIMATIC PC DiagMonitor):
– Operating hours counter
– Hard disk status
– System status (Heart Beat)
– Automatic logging of all messages to a log file
– Option of remote monitoring of networked SIMATIC PCs

Integration

The SIMATIC IPC547C with redundant power supply provides a reliable solution for increasing
system availability in continuous operation duty.
If one power supply rack unit fails, the other unit takes over the full load without interruption.
Failures are signaled by an LED on the power supply rack unit and as acoustic signal. The power
supply rack unit can then be replaced during operation (hot swap).
