Siemens Industrial Box PC
SIMATIC IPC627E
The high-end IPC with maximum performance, functional scope, and expansion capability
It offers:
- Maximum performance in the smallest space
- Intel Core i technology
- Removable hard disks (RAID1)
High system performance for demanding computing, open- and closed-loop control, and visualisation tasks.
The SIMATIC IPC627E Box PC is particularly suitable for applications at ambient temperatures of up to 55 °C and provides high resistance to shocks and vibration. Despite its highly compact design, it can nevertheless be flexibly scaled and expanded.
The SIMATIC IPC627E Box-PC is a very compact and powerful Industrial PC with an innovative Intel® processor architecture of the 8th generation (Core™ i7, Core™ i3 and Celeron®) in a newly developed industrial design. It is suitable for sophisticated measurement, control and regulating tasks in ambient temperatures up to 55 °C as well as high shock and vibration resistance requirements.
In addition, the advanced housing design of the SIMATIC IPC627E is compatible for mounting with its predecessors. This means that it can also be used in existing systems without additional expense. It is also available as a SIMATC IPC677E Panel-PC in 19″, 22″ and 24″ capacitive full HD multi-touch display for centralized operator control and monitoring.

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.
