SIMATIC IPC847D –
maximum expandability and industrial functionality
•
Maximum expandability due to 11 free 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 ambient temperature, even
at maximum processor performance
•
High vibration/shock resistance thanks to special hard disk
holders
•
Intel Core i processors 4th generation
•
Optional RAID5 configuration (striping with parity) in hot swap
drive bays
•
RAID1 and RAID5 configurations with additional hot spare
hard disk, optional
•
ECC memory, optional
•
Service-friendly device design due, for example, to the
replacement of filters/fans from the front without the need for
tools, or opening of the enclosure with just one screw.
•
Front LED concept for efficient self-diagnostics, e.g.
monitoring of hard disks in RAID1 configurations, fans or
status displays for Ethernet, PROFINET and PROFIBUS
•
Integrated PROFIBUS DP/MPI or PROFINET interface
(optional)
•
High component/design continuity
•
Motherboard developed and manufactured by Siemens
•
Availability for up to 6 years
•
Guaranteed spare parts availability for at least 5 years

Benefits
Rugged design
The overall design aims to achieve maximum safety for electro-
magnetic, vibration and shock loads. A well-designed pressur-
ized ventilation concept ensures that even the maximum config-
uration can support high operating temperatures – and dust
protection is included.
Service-friendly device design
Particular attention was paid to making servicing extremely
simple. PC components (e.g. slots, memory modules) are
readily accessible. Fan filters and fans can be replaced without
tools even when unit is built-in.
Performance
Thanks to the use of the latest generation of Intel Pentium
Dual Core to Core i processors (2nd generation technology),
SIMATIC Rack PCs are flexibly scalable for your application.
System availability
SIMATIC racks can be ordered in custom configurations and
are supplied ready for use. The design's high system availability
can be further extended by means of additional data backup
options (e.g. RAID1 or RAID5 system, redundant power supply,
SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator) and efficient self-diag-
nostics software (SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor).
Integrated interfaces
Two onboard Gbit Ethernet interfaces are available for commu-
nication in the office world or at the control level. Integrated
USB interfaces on the rear and front panels make connecting
I/O devices from the PC world (e.g. external hard disks for
mobile data backup, keyboard and/or mouse for operation)
child's play. For advanced graphics applications, a spare PCI
Express slot and a high-performance graphics card for the
connection of two monitors are available.
Expandability
With up to 11 free PC slots, the SIMATIC Rack PC offers maxi-
mum leeway for expansions for installation in space-saving
cabinets with a depth of just 500 mm.
The continuity with IPC547, IPC647, IPC847
The SIMATIC Rack PC models can be ordered for a period of at
least 1.5 years; spare parts remain obtainable for at least 3 years
after active marketing is concluded. Long-term functionality of
the hardware and software is also ensured. Long-term availabil-
ity of PC components from the Intel embedded line ensures high
investment protection.
