Product Context
The 6ES76478BB310AA3 is a DIN-rail-mountable industrial PC from Siemens' SIMATIC IPC227E nanobox family. The "6ES7" prefix identifies it within Siemens' automation control catalog. These embedded PCs target applications requiring a compact, fanless computing node inside a control cabinet, with PCIe expansion capability for fieldbus or I/O cards.
Selection Considerations
- The Celeron N2930 is a low-power SoC designed for continuous-duty embedded use; thermal headroom is limited to 60°C ambient.
- 8 GB DDR3L SODIMM is the listed memory configuration; no second memory slot or alternative capacity appears in the record.
- Headless design (no integrated display) means operator interface must be handled externally (HMI panel, SCADA, or remote desktop).
- IP40 rating suits indoor, cabinet-level placement; no conformal coating or extended humidity range is indicated.
- PCIe expansion supports add-in cards for PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CAN, or other industrial interfaces as required by the application.

Why they are catalog-similar to 6ES76478BB310AA3:
All four parts carry the same processor (Celeron N2930, 4-core), identical 8 GB DDR3L memory configuration, and share the full set of mechanical/environmental ratings (DIN Rail mount, IP40, 0–60°C, box encapsulation, PCIe expansion, Windows 7/10 support). The MPN prefix length and edit-distance metrics are also consistent across this subgroup.
Variant with broader processor support (6ES76478BB310MA1): This order code additionally lists Intel Atom E3845 and the N2807 as processor options, giving flexibility for lower-power or wider-temperature deployments while maintaining the same memory, approvals, and enclosure.
