Additional add-on components for enhanced system availability prevent potential failures, and minimize downtimes and the consequential costs in your production.

More product diversity and selection options

The integrated industrial SIMATIC PC platforms offer maximum productivity through

• flexible and powerful rack PCs in 19" design,
• compact, rugged box PCs for universal application,
• rugged, high-performance panel PCs with brilliant displays
• and products and systems from our Customization Center accurately tailored to your requirements.

You can configure your SIMATIC PC individually online, thus minimizing the purchasing time.  more

More application options

SIMATIC PCs are ideally suited for use in various applications, e.g. for

• open-loop and closed-loop control in mechanical engineering and on ships,
• visualization in the food industry,
• measuring and testing in the automotive industry,
• data processing and communication in the semiconductor and electronics industry,
• gateways and as network transition in stock-keeping and logistics applications.  more

More networking options with PROFINET onboard

With PROFINET onboard, you can integrate the SIMATIC PCs even more easily in networks to support integrated real-timecapable communication from the corporate level right down to the field level. Real-time, IT communication as well as TCP/IP are thus possible on a single line. This saves installation and integration costs.  more

More quality, safety and environmental protection

Our SIMATIC PCs set new standards in terms of quality:

• They are developed and manufactured in-house and pro­vide reliable compliance with all technical specifications, as proven in comprehensive tests.
• Our totally integrated quality assurance process guarantees the best logistics performances, and high quality during field use.
• Environmental protection is guaranteed by our own guide­lines for environmentally-sound design throughout the complete product lifecycle.

This proves the reliable compliance of SIMATIC PCs with all technical specifications.  more

More continuity and long-term availability

SIMATIC PCs minimize your application's adjustment expenditures and facilitate the long-term planning of concepts. SIMATIC PCs thus offer

• an availability period of 3 – 5 years with a minimum 6-month overlapping period with the new device generation,
• as well as a repair and spare parts availability period of 5 years.

This involves a service period of up to 9 years. This minimizes your application's adjustment expenditures and facilitates the long-term planning of concepts.  more
