Preface
Security information
Disclaimer for third-party software updates
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.com/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.com/industrialsecurity).
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
Software Update Service offer on the Internet at Software Update Service
(http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/automation-software/en/software-update-
service).

Device view
Note
Depending on the configuration ordered the features and illustrations described in this
manual may differ from the features of your device.
Maximum industrial compatiblity for 24-hour continuous use in industrial environments
1.2 Product highlights
The SIMATIC IPC847E is a powerful industrial PC in 19" rack format design (4 HE). It is
perfectly suited for PC applications with high-level industry functionality.
● Maximum processor performance (in full configuration) without loss of performance
(throttling) at up to 50 °C ambient temperature
● Fully coated surfaces that repel dirt and corrosion
● Rugged all-metal housing, coated over its entire surface (blue chromated) and enameled
on the outside to protect against corrosion and dirt with high EMC compatibility
● Suitable for installation in space-saving control cabinets with a depth of only 500 mm
● Dust protection through overpressure venting concept with front-side fan and dust filter
● Protection against vibration and shock through corresponding hard drive retainer and
card hold-down mechanism

● 8th generation Intel® processors: Xeon, Core i7, Core i5 or Core i3 up to 6 cores /
12 threads
● Graphics controller (630/P630) integrated in the processor up to 4 K Ultra HD resolution
● Maximum performance, e.g. through Intel C246 chipset, DDR4 memory with support of
dual channel technology
● High data transfer rates, e.g. via PCI Express Technology Gen 3,
USB 3.1 Gen 2 SuperSpeed + (10 Gbps), M.2 NVME SSD
● Low noise level due to variable-speed fans
● High data security through RAID systems: Onboard RAID system or hardware RAID
system
● RAID1 system: Data mirroring onto two SATA or SAS drives, including in removable drive
bays, and optionally with additional SDD (for operating system) or hot-spare drive
● RAID5 system: Striping with parity onto three SATA or SAS drives for increased memory
capacity in removable drive bays, optionally with additional hot-spare drive
● Hot swap (swapping of drive during operation) in removable drive bays in RAID systems
● Hot-spare drive in removable drive bays in RAID systems: The rebuild process onto the

Retainer for
locking the internal USB interface
Tower Kit
for
SIMATIC IPCs
The retainer is a mechanical safety device
for the internal USB interface. It optimizes
the protection of an internal USB memory
stick against loads caused by vibration and
shock during transportation or operation.
This increases the reliability and operational
safety of the device.
You can use the Tower Kit to convert the
device into an industrial Tower PC. This step
expands the operating range beyond the
control cabinet.
Components of the Tower Kit:
• Cover
• Feet
• Accessories: Screws and rubber feet
