Overview
SIMATIC Box PC family
SIMATIC Box PCs provide mechanical engineers, plant
engineers and control cabinet makers with particularly rugged
industrial PC systems for use in powerful yet compact applica-
tions.
The following device classes are available for various
requirements:
•
SIMATIC IPC227
(Nanobox PC):
The compact embedded IPC – maintenance-free and dust-
proof with versatile mounting
•
SIMATIC IPC427
(Microbox PC):
The powerful embedded IPC – maintenance-free with
versatile configuration
•
SIMATIC IPC627/IPC827
(Box PC):
The high-end IPC – with maximum performance, functional
scope, and expansion capability

SIMATIC IPC227 (Nanobox PC):
The compact embedded IPC – maintenance-free and
dust-proof with versatile mounting
•
Maximum compactness with approx. 1 liter enclosure volume
with integrated industrial power supply for minimum space
requirements in the control cabinet
•
Maximum flexibility thanks four mounting options and inter-
faces on one side suitable for every installation situation

Optimized for embedded applications
•
Flexibility expandable using one or two PCIe I/O cards
(optional)
•
Flexible installation options due to DIN rail/wall/front upright
mounting, even outside a control cabinet
•
NVRAM for retentive data storage (optional)
SIMATIC IPC627/IPC827 (Box PC):
The high-end IPC – with maximum performance, functional
scope, and expansion capability
