Solar systems

Compared to other power plants, photovoltaic systems are subject to hardly any mechanical stress and therefore require little maintenance. The same also applies for solar and solar-thermal systems. This also reduces the maintenance overhead on the devices. The SIMATIC Industrial PCs and Panels meet these requirements through the targeted selection of high-quality components and special production processes.

ENG: Solar systems

All SIMATIC Panels and IPCs are developed for especially demanding environments and also for long service life. Spare parts availability for many years secures use in sound solar and photovoltaic systems.

  • Rugged: Ambient temperatures of 0 °C to +55 °C offer high flexibility in the choice of installation location. Use of a TEK is recommended for increasing the temperature range (see Chapter: Temperature Extension Kit).
  • Innovative and flexible:
    • We meet the ever-increasing demand for more computing power by using the current generation of processors from Intel®. Based on the current chipsets, devices are available with CeleronM, Core2Solo, Core2Duo and Core2Quad. This makes power-saving applications (e.g. simple data acquisition) just as possible as power-hungry applications (such as the software PLC in real-time WinAC RTX) and server systems.
    • The SIMATIC IPCs fit into any control cabinet. Different mounting methods enable a host of installation variants.

Optimized equipping of the Panels and IPCs for more system availability is one of the simplest options for increasing productivity by means of reducing standstill times. Electromechanical components often cause malfunctions in PCs. Since hard disks and fans in the industrial PC usually operate continuously, they are subject to an especially high rate of wear and tear. Software options for diagnostics and data backup, such as SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor or SIMATIC IPC Image Creator, are particularly effective here, in addition to the use of high-quality industrial grade components.
