More ruggedness and system availability

With SIMATIC PCs, nothing is left to chance as they come with a high degree of ruggedness and industrial standard, amongst others through

• rugged enclosure designs,
• in-house developed mainboards,
• and high-quality components, e.g. industrial compatible displays.

For maximum safety, our SIMATIC PCs offer a unique concept of additional add-on components for enhanced system availability. This prevents potential failures and actual downtimes and efficiently reduces the corresponding 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.

Comprehensive online configuration options allow for the individual assembly of your SIMATIC PC, which minimizes the purchasing times.  more

More application options

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

• open- and closed-loop control in mechanical engineering,
• 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 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.  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

Thanks to the close contact of our development experts with our certified supplier partners, we are able to develop and produce own mainboards and products featuring a high continuity and guaranteed long-term availability. 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 minimizes your application's adjustment expenditures and facilitates the long-term planning of concepts.  more
