Siemens 6AV72417LC560FA0 — SIMATIC IPC477E 22" Panel PC
Overview
The 6AV72417LC560FA0 is a panel-mounted industrial PC in the Siemens SIMATIC IPC 477E family, configured with a 22-inch touchscreen and an Intel Xeon E3-1505L processor. In a control-cabinet or machine-level HMI context, this device serves as a Windows-capable computing node with PCIe expansion, designed for permanent installation on a machine panel or cabinet door. The catalog title is truncated but the device is identifiable as the 22" multitouch variant of the IPC477E series.

Critical fields requiring verification before procurement
The data source did not include the following selection-critical fields. Do not proceed on electrical or mechanical integration without confirming these from the official Siemens datasheet:
- Supply voltage and power consumption — required for DC/power supply design and heat-load estimation.
- Storage configuration — no SSD/HDD type, capacity, or bay count stated.
- Network interfaces — presence and quantity of Ethernet ports unspecified; critical for industrial network integration.
- USB / serial / fieldbus ports — not listed.
- Overall panel cutout dimensions and depth behind the panel — needed for enclosure layout.
- Ingress protection across the full device — the seed record lists IP65 only, while all alternates show IP20/IP65; this discrepancy may reflect rear-face (IP20) vs. front-face (IP65) ratings typical for sealed-front panel PCs. The datasheet must clarify the rating boundary and gasket requirements.
Integration and installation notes
The device is panel-mounted. Panel PCs in this class are typically installed with a gasket between the panel face and the enclosure to maintain the front-side IP65 rating; rear components and cable interfaces may only be rated to IP20. The datasheet must specify:
- Required panel thickness and sealing method.
- Cable routing and port access from the rear.
- Grounding and EMC bonding provisions.
The operating temperature range (0°C to 45°C) limits use to climate-controlled cabinet environments; do not assume outdoor or unconditioned mountings are permissible.
The PCIe expansion slot supports add-on cards (e.g., fieldbus interfaces, additional I/O, or high-speed data acquisition) but no card dimensions or power budget are listed in the catalog fields. Confirm compatibility and thermal impact against the 45°C ceiling.

Additional alternates in the list (6AV72417LC040FA0, 6AV72417LC080FA0, 6AV72417LJ340FA0, 6AV72417LB030FA0, 6AV72417LH040FA1) share the same core processor (Xeon or Core i5 variants), 16 GB DDR4 cap, 22" touchscreen, panel mount, IP20/IP65, and Win 7/10 support, but are not reproduced in detail here; the top three by similarity are shown.
Why they are similar
The catalog matcher identified all nine parts as variants within the same SIMATIC IPC477E 22" multitouch series: they share the same display size, mounting method, enclosure form factor, PCIe expansion type, operating temperature range, and Windows OS support. Differentiating factors across the family include the processor platform (Xeon E3-1505L vs. Core i5/i3 variants), IP rating completeness (seed lists only IP65; alternates include both IP20 and IP65), expansion slot configuration (PCIe only vs. PCI + PCIe in one alternate), and packaging (Box vs. Bulk). The processor choice has direct implications for compute performance and thermal dissipation at the upper end of the 45°C operating range.
FAQ
What processor is configured in the 6AV72417LC560FA0? Intel Xeon E3-1505L. Verify the base clock, turbo frequency, TDP, and thermal design against your application load and enclosure thermal budget using the official Siemens datasheet.
Does the device support both IP20 and IP65 ratings? The seed catalog entry lists only IP65. All alternates in the returned set list IP20/IP65, which is typical for panel PCs where the front face is sealed to IP65 and the rear section (ports, maintenance area) is IP20. The Siemens datasheet must confirm the exact rating boundaries and required gasket specifications.
What storage and network interfaces are available on the 6AV72417LC560FA0? The supplied catalog fields do not include storage type/capacity, SSD/HDD bay count, or network interface details. Before specifying this part, confirm the standard storage configuration, available Ethernet ports (quantity and speed), and any integrated fieldbus or USB ports from the datasheet.
