Prevention of potential failures
Uninterruptible power supplies
(UPSs)
The rugged SITOP DC-USV 24 V
devices ensure secure storage of
data, orderly power down, and
correct restart after power failures
longer than 20 ms.

Redundant power supply
The redundant power supplies that can be replaced
during operation, and monitored using diagnostics
software, ensure high system availability in the
SIMATIC Rack PCs.
Flash disk and SSD as safe mass storage
Compared to a hard disk, CFC, CFast and SSD are
approved for higher values with regard to vibration,
shock or temperature, and they offer increased security
for the operating system and application.
RAID1/RAID5 configuration
The RAID1/RAID5 configurations, in which the data is
automatically backed up and restored, offer maximum
protection against data loss. The system continues to be
operational, and the hard disk can be replaced without
interruption during operation. The onboard RAID con-
troller saves one slot, which can be used for other cards.
Notes on security
To ensure the secure operation of a plant or machine it
is necessary to take additional, suitable preventive
action (e.g. cell protection concept) and to integrate
the automation and drive components into a state-of-
the-art holistic industrial security concept for the entire
plant or machine. Please find further information at:

SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor
SIMATIC IPCs have integrated functions for local diagnos-
tics. The SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor diagnostic and signaling
software expands these functions and detects possible
hardware faults and software errors.
It monitors, signals and visualizes operating states of
SIMATIC IPCs both locally and remotely.
The integrated Web server enables global monitoring
and management by authorized users.

SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager
The Remote Management software enables remote access
to SIMATIC IPCs with Intel Active Management
Technology (Intel AMT, for Core i7/i5) and it offers:
Central service without on-site deployment
– Encrypted remote access
– Simple correction of faults
– Fast execution of updates with
subsequent restart
Efficient energy management and service management
– Reduced power consumption and costs
– Service outside production periods

SIMATIC IPC Image & Partition Creator
The software package supports you with organizing data
and partitioning SIMATIC IPCs. You can then back up data
easily and restore it as well as manage
partitions efficiently. Together with the SIMATIC IPC
Remote Manager, convenient and time-saving remote
data backup and restore is possible.

Second hard disk for data/image backup
In a non-RAID network, a second hard disk can be used as
an additional memory or backup medium. In the event of a
fault, the data can be quickly restored, or the system can
be made immediately ready for use again by booting from
the backup disk.
