SIMATIC IPC547C

Maximum performance at an attractive price with Intel Core2 Quad processors

The SIMATIC IPC547C is a powerful industrial PC in 19" design (4U). It is ideally suited to industrial applications demanding maximum PC system performance such as required, for example, in industrial server applications, process visualization, or image processing.

Equipped with powerful and energy-saving Intel Core2 Quad / Duo processors with 64-bit technology, a memory size of up to 8 GB and up to 500 GB serial ATA hard disks, the IPC547C reliably provides high computing performance in 24-hour continuous use at an extremely attractive price.
The 7 long expansion slots in PCI/PCI-Express technology allow for the use of powerful expansion cards such as PCIe x16 graphics cards for the connection of two monitors and PCIe x8 (1 lane) for installing a Framegrabber module.

The IPC547C is equipped with the following to increase system availability:

Up to 3 mass storage units in RAID5 network for maximum data security and performance with optimum memory space utilization in a hot-swap removable rack
Comprehensive diagnostics and monitoring options due to LEDs on the front for temperature and fan
Redundant power supply (available soon)
High data transfer rates and redundancy thanks to two teaming-capable Gigabit Ethernet connections

Furthermore, the IPC547C is characterized by

All-metal enclosure in sophisticated industrial design with high electromagnetic compatibility
Increased dust protection and low noise due to fan-controlled pressurized cooling
Maximum computing power without throttling at ambient temperatures from 5 to 40°C
9 USB 2.0 interfaces, two of which on the front and one internal interface with mechanical interlock. A USB flash drive inserted into the internal interface can be operated in closed devices, e.g. as software dongle, and is thus protected against misuse
