SIEMENS Panel PC SIMATIC HMI IPC577C

The SIMATIC HMI IPC577C is used in manufacturing automation and process automation. The device is designed for installation in control cabinets and consoles, 19″ cabinets/racks, and swivel arms (booms). Due to the minimal mounting depth, it can also be used in confined spaces, e.g. 83 mm for 15″ Touch.

Thanks to its full PC openness and the powerful Core2Duo processor, it can be used for a host of different applications.

A SIMATIC HMI IPC577C is the ideal platform for PC based automation:

  • PC based visualization on site at the machine with SIMATIC WinCC flexible
  • Complex solutions with SIMATIC WinCC process visualization
  • PC-based control with SIMATIC WinAC software PLC

SIMATIC HMI IPCs can be ordered in combination with WinCC flexible or WinCC as SIMATIC HMI packages at favorable prices.

Benefits

  • High performance due to powerful processor
  • Low-cost entry-level industry PC with full PC openness.
  • Ideal for applications in industrial environments due to
    • Excellent operational reliability – even when subjected to extreme vibration and shock
    • High degree of chemical resistance to oils and grease
    • Smooth front, therefore no dirt can accumulate
    • Brilliant displays for good clearness of display, even when lighting conditions and viewing angles change.
  • High degree of investment protection due to
    • A long marketing period (4-6 years) and high continuity of components for long-term machine concepts
    • Assured availability of spare parts (for a period of 5 years following the end of active marketing)
    • Simple migration from the predecessor product with minimum engineering overhead
    • Same installation dimensions as predecessor
    • Early detection of faults and minimized downtimes due to self-diagnostics (DiagBase)
  • High level of flexibility due to
    • Expandable by the customer thanks to diverse interfaces (PCI, CompactFlash, Gbit Ethernet, and others)
    • USB interfaces on the front and rear for quick and easy connection of additional hardware components
    • User-friendly and easy integration in the fieldbus level, thanks to integrated PROFIBUS DP/MPI and 2 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (onboard)
