The new SIMATIC HMI IPC477C PRO featuring innovative Intel processor architecture (Core® 2 Duo, Core® 2 Solo, Celeron M) consequently continues the embedded series with new technologies.

The Key Highlights

• For the direct mounting to a support arm

• Fully enclosed with IP65 protection rating

• Very low mounting depth of approx. 98 – 115 mm (depending on the device model)

• High system performance for demanding visualization, computing, and control tasks
• Intel® processors: Celeron M (1.2 GHz), Core® 2 Solo (1.2 GHz) or Core® 2 Duo (1.2 GHz)
• DDR3 memory technology: 1, 2, or 4 GB RAM
• Flexible mass storage concept with max. 3 drives (2 x CF and 1 x SSD)
• Mass storage as CompactFlash card with 2, 4 or 8 GB and/or SSD (solid-state drive) with 32 GB for rugged requirements
• Full PC openness through Windows XP Embedded Standard 2009

• Ready-to-run systems (bundles) are offered

Industrially suitable Fronts

• Modern industrial design
• Touchscreen fronts with 15″ or 19″ screen size
• Backlight dimmable by software
• Smooth fronts – resistant to dirt, oils and fats

Ideal for the Use in industrial Environments

• High operational reliability – also when subject to strong vibration and shock loads
• Hard-drive-less model with CF card and/or SSD (solid-state drive)
• High chemical resistance to oils and fats
• Smooth front and therefore not a “dirt trap”
• High-contrast displays for good readability even under changing lighting conditions and viewing angles
• Reduced downtimes and early error detection through self-diagnostics
• Non-volatile memory – usable by SIMATIC WinAC (soft-PLC)

High Investment Protection

• Actively sold/marketed for a long time (4 – 5 years) and high continuity of the components for long-life machine concepts
• PC development and manufacturing (incl. motherboard and BIOS) by Siemens
• Assured spare parts availability of the components (for an additional 5 years after the end of the active marketing)
• Early error detection and minimal downtimes thanks to self-diagnostics (DiagBase)

High Flexibility

• Mounting of the device to support arm systems by all current manufacturers
• Additional expansion of the operating options on-site through the accessory “Extension Units”; further information on Extension Units can be found under the following entry ID: 35793452
• Expandable by the customer thanks to diverse interfaces (CompactFlash, DVI-I, Gigabit Ethernet, and others)
• Four rear-mounted USB interfaces for the quick and easy connection of additional hardware components
• Easy integration into the fieldbus level thanks to integrated PROFIBUS DP/MPI or PROFINET (CP1616-compatible) interface and 2 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (onboard)
• Full PC openness through Windows XP Embedded Standard 2009
