Siemens SIMATIC IPC847E 6BK1800-8HR03-0AA0 Rack PC for Horiba

Siemens SIMATIC IPC847E Industrial Rack PC (6BK1800-8HR03-0AA0) for Horiba Systems

The Siemens SIMATIC IPC847E (MPN: 6BK1800-8HR03-0AA0) is a state of the art ultra-rugged 19″ rack PC (4U) with a unique configuration with a custom front design based on the 6AG4114-3LQ13-0DX1 base architecture. This is a unique arrangement, only for Horiba analytical gas and emission monitoring infrastructure.

This unit is designed to operate in high vibration, high interference environments such as marine engine testbeds, heavy manufacturing plants and continuous emission monitoring stations (CEMS). It offers specialized processing power, maximum expandability and long-term hardware availability.

Features

1. Optimized for Horiba: Specifically developed to handle Horiba’s customized analytic interfaces with a firmware and front panel that are specific to the customer.
2. Heavy Industrial Ruggedness Built-in temperature, fan and watchdog monitoring functions are designed for prolonged 24/7 heavy-duty operation.
3. Wide Physical Expansion Capability: The product has wide physical expansion capability for industrial communication interfaces and I/O devices, housed in an internal 4U rack enclosure.
4. Advanced Thermal Management: Features a positive-pressure ventilation system with dust-protection filtering to protect sensitive internal components.

Compatibility

• Directly compatible with Horiba Automotive Test Systems, emissions analyzers, and industrial analytical benches.
• Fully compatible with Siemens TIA Portal environment and industrial edge communication protocols (PROFINET, Industrial Ethernet).

Cross-References

• Base Siemens Unit: 6AG4114-3LQ13-0DX1
• Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 6BK1800-8HR03-0AA0

Where to Use?

1. Marine & Emission Test Stands Operating diagnostic software profiles using Horiba gas analyzer equipment to determine NOx, SOx and CO2 levels.
2. Industrial Automation Control Rooms: One central industrial edge station to process massive telemetry loops.
3. Continuous Emission Monitoring (CEMS): Continuous 24/7 processing of environmental monitoring installations on maritime and land-based power facilities.

Our Expert Engineer’s Guide:

1. Thermal Optimization: While the front panel features an IP41 rating with an active positive-pressure fan layout, always ensure the rack cabinet filter pads are cleaned at regular 3-month intervals. High dust environments can choke industrial filtration and cause the internal Watchdog to log temperature spikes.
2. Interface Grounding: When bridging the 3x Gigabit Ethernet ports across distinct subnets (e.g., separating the Horiba analyzer private network from the main control room network), ensure your industrial Ethernet cables are properly shielded (STP) and grounded to prevent ground loops.
3. Dongle Security: Take advantage of the internal USB 3.1 port. If your Horiba or specialized SCADA system relies on a physical hardware license key (dongle), installing it internally prevents accidental dislodging, tampering, or vibration wear during high-vibration engine running cycles.
