Connections and Expansions
Technical Data

The SIMATIC Rack PC 647B is an extremely compact and powerful industrial PC in 19" design. With a height of only two standard units and with a small mounting depth, it is particularly suitable for space-saving implementation of fast computing and visualization tasks such as the processing of images and data with simultaneous optimum utilization of the space in standard 19'' control cabinets (from 500 mm depht).
It forms part of the Rack PC range offering scalability and longterm availability, and features the following consistencies with the Rack PC 847B:
- identical long-term available main board basis,
- identical footprint.
To allow maximum performance at ambient temperatures up to 50°C, it is equipped with powerful and energy-saving Intel Core2 Duo processors.
Despite its high compactness, it can be flexibly scaled and expanded by multiple integrated interfaces and slots:
- high data transfer rates due to two teaming-capable Gigabit-Ethernet connections
- Optional PROFIBUS/MPI or PROFINET interface with three ports for the cost-effective connection of I/O field devices or for coupling SIMATIC S7
- 3 long slots (2 x PCI, 1 x PCIe x16)
- Dual-Monitoring via a PCI-Express x16 graphics card (optional) for high graphics performance
- ADD-Card: DVI-D connection for monitor (optional)
- 6 x Hi-Speed USB 2.0 ports, two of which are arranged on the front.
Supply of environmentally compatible devices in accordance with the WEEE and RoHS directives.

More networking options with PROFINET onboard
With PROFINET onboard, the new SIMATIC PCs can be integrated in networks even more easily to support integrated realtime-capable communication from the corporate level right down to the field level. Realtime, IT communication as well as TCP/IP are thus possible on a single line, which saves installation and integration costs. The intelligent controller architecture with integrated 3-port switch facilitates the flexible and easy assembly of line or tree topologies.
more
- The PROFINET onboard interface saves one slot, which can be used for other PC cards
- The intelligent controller architecture (ERTEC 400) improves the PC system performance by reducing the processor load
- Full support of the software PLC WinAC RTX 2008
- Optimized integration of SIMATIC PCs in PROFINET configuration (STEP 7 and NCM-PC)
- Efficient self-diagnostics via status LEDs for eased commissioning and diagnostics

Connections and Expansions


The unique industrial design is of high quality, and provided with high service friendliness:
- Front fan can be replaced without tools
- Housing is easy and fast to open with only one screw.
For the efficient self-diagnostics are integrated:
- comprehensive diagnostics/ signaling functions (temperature, fan, watchdog)
- front LED display e.g. for the status of the hard disk in the RAID network (HDD ALARM) or Ethernet, PROFIBUS-/PROFINET communication
