Individually expandable system availability 21
The rugged design and high industrial suitability make
SIMATIC industrial PCs highly available. For applications
with individual system availability requirements, we offer
a matched range of optional expansion components.
Avoiding potential failures – to prevent the damage
from happening
Hardware and software are subject to industrial loads that
can result in failures with high follow-on costs, such as loss
of the power supply or data. To avoid potential failures,
SIMATIC IPCs offer expansion options with which the dam-
age can be prevented before it happens. This includes the
following:
Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
Redundant power supply unit that can be replaced
during operation
Flash disk and SSD as safe mass storage
RAID 1/RAID 5 configuration with automatic multiple
data backup and restore
SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor – intelligent and
comprehensive diagnostics, local or remote
To allow early detection of potential failures in the field,
the SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor software tool provides intelli-
gent and comprehensive diagnostics and signaling func-
tions which allow you to carry out preventive maintenance
in good time.
This enables you to detect potential failures early and to
effectively minimize actual downtimes.
Minimization of standstill times – so that your plant
gets up and running again quickly
Once a system has come to a standstill due to a fault, it is
of the essence to minimize such downtimes and the
associated costs.
SIMATIC IPCs therefore offer expansion options to rapidly
restore your system's operability.
These include:
SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager software for
implementing low-cost maintenance, troubleshooting
and administration of SIMATIC IPCs by means of
encrypted remote access
SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator software for
preventive data backup and efficient partition
management
Second hard disk for data/image backup
