SIMATIC IPC647E
Operating Instructions, 09/2022, A5E52254141-AA
Description
• Monitoring of high and low temperature limits and
cable break of the temperature sensors
• For this, temperature sensors record the temperature
at critical points of the device, e.g. at the processor.
• The temperature thresholds are defined for the indi-
vidual temperature sensors.
• With SIMATIC IPC DiagBase or SIMATIC IPC DiagMoni-
tor, actions are triggered when the temperature
thresholds are exceeded.
• Monitoring of underspeed and failure of a fan as well
as cable break of the tachometer cable
The operation of the fan is monitored at the following
positions:
• Front panel
• Optional graphics card
• Optional AI Unit NVIDIA A2
• Single power supply (400 W)
• Monitoring of the system status and message as to
whether a station is still operational.
• If the watchdog is not operated within a configured
monitoring time, a watchdog alarm is output.
• A change to the monitoring time is effective immedi-
ately.
• Monitoring of the charge status of the buffer battery
(CMOS)
• When the first warning threshold is reached, the
backup battery will run for at least 1 more month.
• Determination of the status of the drives (HDD and
SSD) with SMART functionality (SMART: Self-Monitor-
ing, Analysis and Reporting Technology) also in RAID
systems (RAID state)
• The status of an inactive hot swap drive is not dis-
played.

Status display and actions
• Status display "TEMP (Page 27)"
• Closed-loop speed control of the de-
vice fans, the power supply fan and
the fan of the optional graphics card
• Temperature alarm is output.
• Status display "FAN (Page 27)"
• Fan alarm is output.
• Status display "WATCHDOG
(Page 27)"
Depending on the setting, the fol-
lowing actions are initiated:
• Reset on: A hardware reset is carried
out
• If a critical or error status occurs, an
alarm is output.
• Status display "HDDx ALARM
(Page 27)"
• SMART status of the hard drives
• The following statuses, for example,
are displayed in a RAID system:
"Normal", "OK", "Degraded", "Error
Rebuild", "Rebuilding"
