SIMATIC PCkeeps its promises in price and performance

Professional automation solutions expose industrial PCs to various levels of harsh conditions

vibrations, cold, dust, heat, vapors year after year. Siemens is using its specific know-how as the

world leader in automation to create PC platforms that are highly industry-compatible always with

a focus on reducing your total costs.

Fail-safety included

Office PCs are entirely unsuited for use in industrial environments. SIMATIC PCs, on the other hand,are built specifically to measure, control, regulate, test, operate and monitor in production environ-

ments regardless of the type of industry. Proven a thousandfold in actual practice, the failsafe

SIMATIC PCs excel especially in their lower cost for installation, implementation, start-up and service.

And in trouble-free, continuous operation without costly downtime. Around the clock.

Industrial functionality included

To match your environmental conditions, SIMATIC PCs are available in two model families with differ-

ent spectrums of industrial functionalities: SIMATIC PC and SIMATIC PC Industrial Lite (IL).

The Rack PC IL and Panel PC IL design versions meet all basic requirements for industrial use. Their af-

fordable price, high performance and short innovation cycles reflect the conditions of the general PC

world.

For more demanding requirements with respect to ruggedness, our top-end 600 and 800 model se-

ries of Rack, Box and Panel PCs are your best choice. Designed for tough industrial applications, they

withstand very high mechanical and thermal stresses. Whats more, these SIMATIC PC models in-

clude integrated industrial interfaces, power supplies that bridge short power interruptions and a

particularly easy-to-service design.

Investment safety included

SIMATIC PCs are long-term investments that can reduce costs through the entire life cycle of the prod-

uct. Integration risks and unpleasant surprises are a thing of the past, since Siemens ensures trouble-

free performance in combination with SIMATIC PC-based components through a thorough testing

program. It goes without saying that long-term parts availability is guaranteed for several years.

SIMATIC PC always the right industrial PC

In their three different design versions, SIMATIC PCs are easy to integrate in cus-

tomer-specific solutions easy to service, and without the need of elaborate

mounting or vibration dampers. Because every SIMATIC PC is already protected

against corrosion, electromagnetic interference, vibration and shock.

You can configure any SIMATIC PC by using a building block system. Siemens will

be very pleased to provide more project-specific adaptations for instance in styl-

ing and of course in the well-proven Siemens quality.

Fit every need SIMATIC PCs

SIMATIC Panel PCs

SIMATIC Panel PCs excel in on-the-spot operating and monitoring of equipment.

Owing to their rugged and compact construction and high protection level

IP 65/NEMA 4, they are ideally suited for visualizing and controlling production

processes. A choice of touchscreen control or membrane keyboard allows opera-

tion in any industrial setting. The integrated front panel is available with displays

in several sizes. In the distributed configuration the front panel can be mounted

remotely from the computer.

SIMATIC Box PCsSIMATIC Box PCs are extremely compact and robust. They can be installed in oper-

ator consoles or control boxes including immediately adjacent to the machine.

The easily serviceable design provides convenient access to all components. Many

alarm and reporting functions as well as the communications capability of SMS

messages support efficient remote monitoring and diagnosis.

SIMATIC Rack PCs

SIMATIC Rack PCs are flexible industrial systems for high-performance, location-

optimized applications in 19-inch racks, optimal for measuring and testing tasks.

Sensors and monitoring routines monitor the forward fans (with dust filters), the

temperature in the housing, and the flawless execution of the program locally

or through a network.

The perfect solution platform SIMATIC PCs

SIMATIC products complement each other to

form a perfectly coordinated automation

solution. A vital element is the smooth inter-action and fast integration of hardware and

software. Developed and tested by us, the

SIMATIC WinAC, SIMATIC WinCC and SIMATIC

ProTool/Pro software systems are designed

for the SIMATIC PC the perfect solution plat-

form for all PC-based automation solutions.

Perfect automation solutions

PC-based Automation

PC-based Automation solutions point the

way to the future. Speedier configuration,

fewer interfaces, open standards PC-based

Automation enables you to implement a

great diversity of automation tasks on a

common platform.

Companies around the globe rely on their

partnership with Siemens and on our years

of experience in the development and pro-

duction of industrial PCs and SIMATIC prod-

ucts. Because high quality is the key to suc-

cess in PC-based solutions. This is wherefault tolerance, high MTBF, readily servicea-

ble designs and dependable service partners

are indispensable.

Perfect interaction Totally Integrated

Automation

In Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) allproducts and systems have identical proper-

ties with regard to communications capabili-

ties, data management and configura-

tion/programming. The software systems,

network components and SIMATIC PCs devel-

oped and system-tested by us are perfectly

compatible with each other as TIA products

a critical cost-saving factor.

Perfect IT integration key to high productivity

The key to increased productivity is consistent IT integration that spans all levels of

the enterprise from the field level to the corporate management level. SIMATIC

PCs leave the factory superbly well prepared for both vertical and horizontal inte-gration. Integrated within the motherboard are communications interfaces that

support trouble-free communications via industrial networks (Industrial Ethernet

and PROFIBUS/MPI) as well as office networks with the object of reducing your

workload and your cost. These capabilities make the SIMATIC PC a powerful infor-

mation hub in an enterprise-wide IT solution.

Perfect integration of application software SIMATIC PCs

Complete packages of SIMATIC industrial software and SIMATIC PCs give you addi-

tional price advantages. But you may also enjoy the benefits of SIMATIC PCs as a

hardware platform running your own software application. As a result, the long

list of successful SIMATIC PC applications includes engine test stands, welding

tong robots, batch recipe handling for filling yoghurt containers, industrial washing

systems, image processing in computer chip factories and many more.
