● Service and maintenance personnel
Basic knowledge required
A solid background in electrical installation, personal computers, Microsoft operating
systems and network technology is required to understand this manual. General knowledge
in the field automation control engineering is recommended.
Scope of the operating instructions
These operating instructions are valid for all order versions of the SIMATIC IPC677E.
History
The following editions of these operating instructions have already been published:
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit (http://www.siemens.de/industrialsecurity).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure
to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under (http://www.siemens.de/industrialsecurity).
Disclaimer for third-party software updates
This product includes third-party software. Siemens AG only provides a warranty for
updates/patches of the third-party software, if these have been distributed as part of a
Siemens software update service contract or officially released by Siemens AG. Otherwise,
updates/patches are undertaken at your own risk. You can find more information about our

WARNING
Risk of electric shock
DANGER
Risk of lightning strikes
2.1 General safety instructions
There is a risk of malfunction which could result in death or serious injury.
• Ensure that only suitably qualified personnel perform the work.
Risk due to electric shock
Risk of lightning strikes
The on/off button and on/off switch do not fully disconnect the device from the supply
voltage.
There is also a risk of fire if the device or connecting lines are damaged.
• Always fully disconnect the device from the supply voltage before performing work on
the device or when the device will not be used over an extended period of time.
• For control cabinet mounting: Use a central, easily accessible AC circuit breaker close
to the device, if possible.
• When you install the device, make sure that the power supply connector is easily
accessible.
A lightning flash may enter the mains cables and data transmission cables and jump to a
person.
Death, serious injury and burns may result.
• Disconnect the device from the power supply in good time when a thunderstorm is
approaching.
• Do not touch power cables and data transmission cables during a thunderstorm.
• Keep sufficient distance from electric cables, distributors, systems, etc.
Possible functional restrictions in case of non-validated plant operation
Note
Burn-in effect and backlighting
The brightness of the backlighting deteriorates over the course of the screen's life cycle. A
permanent picture with bright screen objects leads to a burn

Note
Defective pixels in the display
The manufacturing process of modern displays does not currently guarantee that all pixels of
the display are perfect. It is therefore inevitable that the display will contain a
of defective pixels. This does not limit the function in any way provided the defective pixels
are not all in one location.

Damage from condensation
2.2 Note on transport and storage
2.2 Note on transport and storage
Damage caused by transportation and storage
If a device is transported or stored without packaging, shocks, vibrations, pressure and
moisture may impact the unprotected unit. Damaged packaging indicates that ambient
conditions have already had a massive impact on the device and it may be damaged.
This may cause the device, machine or plant to malfunction.
• Keep the original packaging.
• Pack the device in the original packaging for transportation and storage.
Damage from condensation
A damaged device can be under hazardous voltage and trigger a fire in the machine or
plant. A damaged device has unpredictable properties and states.
Death or serious injury could occur.
• Avoid installing and commissioning a damaged device.
• Label the damaged device and keep it locked away. Send off the device for immediate
repair.
If the device is subjected to low temperatures or extreme fluctuations in temperature during
transportation, moisture could occur on or inside the HMI device (condensation).
Moisture can cause a short-circuit in electrical circuits and damage the device.
• Store the device in a dry place.
• Bring the device to room temperature before starting it up.
• Do not expose the device to direct heat radiation from a heating device.
• If condensation develops, wait approximately 12 hours or until the device is completely
When you open the control cabinet, there may be a dangerous voltage at certain areas or
components.
Touching these areas or components can cause death or serious bodily injury.
• Always disconnect the cabinet from the mains before opening it.
• Ensure that the power to the control cabinet cannot be turned on accidentally.
2.4 Notes on ambient and environmental conditions
Certifications and approvals
If the following conditions for system installation are not observed, approvals in accordance
with UL 61010-2-201 and EN 61010-2-201 are rendered void and there is a risk of
overheating and personal injury.
• You should observe the following information on ambient and environmental conditions.
Ambient and environmental conditions
Unsuitable environmental conditions can cause faults or damage the device.
Failure to comply nullifies the warranty in accordance with IEC/EN/UL 61010-2-201.
• Operate the device only in closed rooms.
• Only operate the device in the ambient conditions specified in the technical
specifications.
• Observe the permitted mounting positions of the device.
• Do not obstruct the venting slots of the device.
• Please note that when the device is operated in severe environments which are subject
to caustic vapors or gases, the provision of clean air is ensured.
• Clean the enclosure surface with a damp cloth and make sure that no water enters the
device.

Safety instructions
CAUTION
Immunity to RF interference
2.4 Notes on ambient and environmental conditions
When you plan your project, you should make allowances for:
● Take note of the climatic and mechanical ambient conditions (Page 115).
● You must observe the Mounting positions (Page 37) when mounting the device.
● For installation in a cabinet, observe the SIMATIC setup guidelines as well as the relevant
DIN/VDE requirements or the applicable country-specific regulations.
● When the device is used in the programmable controller area in accordance with
IEC/EN/UL61010-2-201, note that the device is classified as "Open Equipment". An
IEC/EN/UL61010-2-201 compliant enclosure is therefore a mandatory requirement for
approval or operation according to IEC/EN/UL61010-2-201.
● The device must be installed in such a way that it is part of a restricted access location
(e.g. a locked control cabinet, control panel or server room).
● Always maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm to the area of the ventilation slots and
do not cover the ventilation slots of the enclosure.
High frequency radiation
The device has an increased immunity to RF radiation according to the specifications on
electromagnetic compatibility in the technical specifications.
High frequency radiation, e g. from a cellular phone, can result in malfunctioning of the
device.
Persons are injured and the plant is damaged.
• Avoid high-frequency radiation.
• Remove radiation sources from the environment of the device.
• Switch off radiating devices.
• Reduce the radio output of radiating devices.
• Read the information on electromagnetic compatibility.
• Read the information in the technical specifications.
