The Siemens 6AG4010-6AC21-0XX5 belongs to the SIMATIC IPC3000 SMART family of industrial computers. It is designed as a rack-mounted industrial computing platform for industrial automation environments where stable computing, centralized installation, equipment monitoring, visualization, and industrial data processing are required.

The 19-inch rack format provides a standardized mechanical design for installation in industrial cabinets, control rooms, equipment racks, and centralized automation computing environments. The 4U chassis provides sufficient internal space for an industrial PC platform while maintaining compatibility with standard 19-inch rack installation structures.

Because the 6AG4010-6AC21-0XX5 order-number format identifies a configurable product variant, CPU, memory, storage, operating-system, expansion-card, and other configuration-specific values should not be assigned unless they are established for the exact ordered configuration. These unconfirmed configuration details have therefore been excluded.

2. Technical Parameters

The dimensions of 481 × 176 × 509 mm correspond to the documented SIMATIC IPC3000 SMART 6AG4010-6-series chassis dimensions. The weight is configuration-dependent and is specified within the range of 13.3 to 17 kg.

The power-supply range includes 350 W and 500 W configurations. The 350 W supply is rated for 100–240 VAC input, while the 500 W supply also supports 100–240 VAC input. The applicable power-supply configuration depends on the particular hardware configuration.

3. Product Introduction

The 6AG4010-6AC21-0XX5 is an industrial rack PC within the SIMATIC IPC3000 SMART product family. Its primary design objective is to provide a standardized industrial computing platform that can be installed directly into a 19-inch equipment rack or industrial cabinet.

Unlike compact desktop computers intended primarily for office environments, a rack-mounted industrial PC is intended for permanent installation as part of an automation or industrial information system. The standardized 19-inch mechanical format makes the computer suitable for integration with other rack-mounted equipment.

The 4U chassis provides a relatively large installation volume compared with compact industrial computer formats. This allows the system to be integrated into applications requiring a conventional rack PC architecture.

The product family is positioned for industrial computing tasks rather than being limited to a single automation function. Depending on the installed configuration and the software environment, an IPC3000 SMART system can be used as a computing platform for industrial visualization, data processing, engineering applications, production monitoring, and centralized industrial computer functions.

4. Product Design and Mechanical Characteristics

The 19-inch rack format is one of the principal characteristics of the product family.

The standardized rack width allows the industrial PC to be incorporated into conventional 19-inch equipment structures. This is particularly useful when multiple industrial computing and automation devices need to be installed in a centralized cabinet or equipment rack.

The 4U height provides a substantial chassis volume while maintaining the standard rack-mounted installation concept.

The documented overall dimensions are:

481 mm width × 176 mm height × 509 mm depth

The weight varies according to the selected configuration and is documented within the range of:

13.3–17 kg

For cabinet design and mechanical installation, the actual ordered configuration should be used when calculating the final equipment weight and cabinet loading.

5. Electrical Characteristics

The SIMATIC IPC3000 SMART platform supports AC power configurations covering the industrial computer’s documented operating requirements.

The supported input range is:

100–240 VAC

The corresponding input frequency is:

50–60 Hz

Two documented power-supply ratings are associated with the platform:

350 W

500 W

The selected power-supply rating depends on the hardware configuration of the individual industrial PC. Therefore, the 350 W and 500 W values should be treated as available configuration options rather than as two simultaneous specifications of one fixed hardware configuration.
