Application
SIMATIC IPC627E provides machine manufacturers, plant constructors, and control cabinet builders with a high-performance, compact PC platform for machine-level industrial use, ideal for:
- Measuring and controlling of process and machine data (e.g. automated washing systems, robot controls)
- Operating and visualization tasks with separate display/monitor solutions (e.g. information terminals, large-scale displays in automotive production)
- Data acquisition and processing (e.g. production data acquisition, distributed process control)
- Motion control
SIMATIC IPC627E features the CE mark for use in industrial sectors, as well as in residential, business and commercial areas. In addition to industrial applications, it is therefore also suitable for use in building automation or public facilities.
It can also be integrated in confined spaces thanks to the low mounting depth of 90 mm.
SIMATIC Box PCs can be ordered in combination with WinCC as SIMATIC HMI packages at a reduced price.

Function
- Integrated, parameterizable monitoring functions (program execution (watchdog), internal enclosure temperature, external enclosure temperature, speed monitoring of fans, CMOS battery)
- Extended diagnostics/alarms via Ethernet, email, text message, and for direct infeed into the SIMATIC software via OPC and logging (optionally via SIMATIC PC DiagMonitor):
- Operating hours counter
- Hard disk status
- Automatic logging of all alarms to a log file
- Long-term recording and graphic display of measured values (temperature, fan)
- Capability for central monitoring of networked SIMATIC PCs
- RAID1 for automatic data mirroring on two serial ATA hard disks
- Solid-state drive for especially robust data storage or systems without hard drives
- iAMT functionality (Intel Active Management Technology). This property permits remote access to the IPC (for servicing), even when the operating system is shut down, e.g.:
- Starting/shutdown of the IPC
- BIOS update
- CMOS batteries are externally accessible and therefore easy to replace
- Flash BIOS with the ability to store customer-specific CMOS settings in a non-volatile memory area
- After an unexpected power failure, up to 128 KB of important process data can be written into the NVRAM (non-volatile memory) battery-backed SRAM
- 4 LEDs – 1 x for power and 3 x for applications
Integration
Integrated interfaces:
- Ethernet
Three integrated Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1 000 Mbps) for IT communication and exchanging data with automation devices such as SIMATIC S7 (with the "SOFTNET S7" software package). - Further interfaces
There are two or five free slots for PC modules, 6 USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a serial interface for connecting additional I/O devices.
