Like other rack PCs in the Simatic family, the new entry-level IPC347E model provides reliable, 24-hour operation in industrial settings which have higher ambient temperature, vibration, shock and EMC requirements. The dust protection filter and overpressure ventilation system also protects the unit against damage when used in harsh (dusty) environments.

Simatic IPC347E is available from stock in five configurations. Users can select the appropriate processor performance with either an Intel Pentium or 4th generation Core i5 processor; optional ± R/RW DVD drive and optional pre-installed 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate operating system. The PCs each have 7x PCI(e) expansion slots for easy expansion and integration into existing systems, a 500GB hard disk, and 2 or 4GB RAM, which can be increased up to 16GB.
