Multi-core processor technology

Due to the use of multiple processor cores with hyper-threading, the Core i or Xeon processors are ideally suited to multi-thread application programs and multitasking.

Multiple demanding applications – such as visualization applications with demanding graphics or programs executing extensive calculations – can be executed at the same time to enhance the response time of the system. Thanks to energy-optimized multi-core technology and outstanding energy-saving properties, the Intel Core i/Xeon processors operate without any loss of performance, even in demanding applications and at increased ambient temperatures up to 40 °C.

SIMATIC IPC547J is preconfigured for multi-core technology with 10th generation Intel Core i/Xeon processors and Microsoft operating systems and offers higher performance and improved multitasking in industrial environments.

Multi-display technology

The multi-display architecture with its modern functions for desktop and application management supports working with several screens and therefore considerably enhances productivity. SIMATIC IPC547J with its optional triple-head or quad-head graphics card (PCI Express x16) is optimized for industrial multi-display environments. The following screen modes are supported: Native TripleView, Span or Big-Desktop, Clone.
Additionally, on the SIMATIC IPC547J, you can use the existing onboard graphics interfaces in combination with the optional graphics card, enabling operation with up to seven monitors.

Monitoring functions

Integrated monitoring functions: Temperature inside enclosure, fan speed (front fan, power supply fan, graphics card fan) and program execution (watchdog).

Expanded diagnostics/messages via Ethernet, email, text message and for direct transfer to SIMATIC software via OPC (optionally via SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor):

• Operating hours counter
• Hard disk status, also for RAID configuration
• System status (heartbeat)
• Automatic logging of all alarms by means of a log file
• Capability for central monitoring of networked SIMATIC IPC

iAMT functionality (Intel Active Management Technology)

This property allows remote access to the IPC (for servicing), even when the operating system has been shut down for diagnostics and troubleshooting:

• Controlled startup/shutdown of the IPC
• Access to BIOS settings and BIOS update
• Measures by means of remote access in the event of a fault, e.g. reboot
• Software updates from integrated ISO image

RAID functionality

RAID1 (mirroring) for automatic data mirroring on two HDDs/SSDs or RAID5 (striping with parity) for optimized utilization of capacity with high degree of fault tolerance on three hard disks.

Integrated interfaces

Ethernet:

The two or three integrated Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (10/100/1 000 Mbps) can be used for IT communication and data exchange with programmable controllers such as SIMATIC S7 (with the "SOFTNET S7" software package).

Other interfaces:

For connecting more I/O devices, two free slots for PCI modules, five free PCI Express slots for optional expansions, up to eight USBs and two serial interfaces are available.
