This is where SIMATIC PCs show what they are made of. Thanks to their resistance to vibration, industrial processes run smoothly and precisely, without risk of interruption. This is because they are specially designed for such requirements. These computers are designed to withstand shocks and vibrations and therefore operate with complete reliability, even when subjected to severe mechanical loads. This reliability is guaranteed by the hard disk suspension using polymer dampers, the robust all-metal housing and interlocked connectors. The special retainers ensure that the modules do not work loose and that connectors always remain firmly in place. With regard to vibration loads, the Panel PC, even when equipped with a hard disk, meets the stringent SIMATIC requirements for devices without hard disk.

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 operation 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 PCs

SIMATIC Box PCs are extremely compact and robust. They can be installed in operator 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 PC's

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

Mobile Industrial Communicator

MOBIC T8 - the Mobile Industrial Communicator is an industrial-strength, only 1,7 kg weighty Internet Pad which enables local or worldwide access to an intranet or the Internet. Mobile means it can use pluggable PCMCIA-radio cards, like wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b) for local access or GSM/HSCSD for global use over normal period of operation of 8 hours use without recharging battery.

Industrial strength means it is especially rugged, splash-proof, and dust-resistant. Vibration protected up to an acceleration of 150m/s 2 and drop height 2 meters to MIL standard 810. MOBIC provides security for your use. MOBIC is also certified of course according to FM class 1 division 2, CE, UL, CSA and e1- for installing the MOBIC in vehicles with a MOBIC charging station.

It is ergonomically designed, with 8.4" color touch display operated with either pen or fingertip and with additional function keys on the right-hand side. The high resolution (SVGA 800x600 pixel) TFT-display ensures the easy clearness of display in case of insufficient light.
