The 6AV72417BC040FA0 is a fanless, panel-mount industrial PC from Siemens' SIMATIC IPC 477E line built around the Intel Xeon E3-1505L low-power silicon. It ships as a boxed unit with a 15-inch touchscreen and supports up to 16 GB DDR4 RAM. PCIe slots provide expansion capability for add-in cards. The listed IP ratings apply to the front face (IP65) and enclosure body (IP20) respectively. Certifications cover major global markets including North America, Europe, Russia/EAC, South Korea, Australia, and China.
Ordering Context
The 6AV...4xx naming segment places this unit in the 477E family with a 15-inch touchscreen display and a fixed memory ceiling of 16 GB. The alphanumeric suffix encodes the processor variant and bulk/complete packaging designation within Siemens' IPC ordering schema. All catalog entries for this family share the same panel-mount cutout envelope, simplifying retrofit in existing SIMATIC HMI enclosures.
Integration Notes
Panel-mounting requires a suitable cutout sized for the 477E 15-inch bezel. The unit operates without forced ventilation up to 45°C ambient, which suits enclosed cabinet deployments in climate-controlled facilities. IP65 on the front face assumes correct gasket seating during installation. The listed approval agencies (CE, UL, CSA, etc.) indicate the device is qualified for industrial and potentially light-industrial machinery CE / UL marking under the relevant harmonized standards. PCIe expansion slots accommodate add-in cards for fieldbus, motion, or I/O extension — PCIe-only models (such as this one) lack legacy PCI slots present on some bulk-packaged variants in the same family.

Why They Are Catalog-Proximate
- 6AV72417BC040GA0 — identical mechanical footprint, same 15-inch touchscreen and PCIe-only expansion. The processor tier differs (Core i5/i3 options versus the Xeon E3-1505L in the primary).
- 6AV72417BC080FA0 — same platform, same display, same expansion type and packaging. Also features the Core i5/i3 silicon tier.
- 6AV72417BC060FA0 — matches the Xeon E3-1505L and 15-inch touchscreen of the primary, but ships as bulk (no front bezel kit) and adds a legacy PCI slot alongside PCIe.
- 6AV72417BB040FA0 — same 15-inch touchscreen, PCIe, box packaging; shares the Core i5/i3 processor family.
- 6AV72417BG023FA0 — same 15-inch touchscreen, PCIe, box packaging; same Core i5/i3 processor options.
- 6AV72417BD110DA0 — matches the Xeon E3-1505L and bulk packaging of the BC060FA0; same PCI+PCIe dual expansion.
- 6AV72417LC040FA0 — identical processor and feature set but with a 22-inch touchscreen and correspondingly larger panel cutout.
- 6AV72417EC080FA0 — same PCIe, box packaging, and certification suite as the primary; uses the 22-inch display and Core i5/i3 processors.
