5.2 Temperature monitoring and temperature display
SIMATIC IPC547D
54 Operating Instructions, 06/2011, A5E03473780-01
5.2 Temperature monitoring and temperature display
The temperature is detected at critical device locations by temperature sensors. A
temperature sensor monitors the processor temperature. Other temperature sensors monitor
further critical points.
If the device is being operated close to its limits, the "TEMP" LED flashes.
If a temperature value exceeds the configured temperature threshold, the following error
reactions are triggered:
Reaction
The "TEMP" LED lights up red
Device fan to maximum speed (power supply fans are regulated by the power supply itself)
The SIMATIC monitoring software is activated, if installed
Note
When the device is operated according to instructions, no temperature error occurs.
In the event of a temperature error, check the following possible causes:
● Ventilation openings are covered
● Filter is heavily polluted
● Fan has failed
● The ambient temperature is above the permitted value
● Output power of the power supply is exceeded
The temperature error remains stored until the temperatures drop below the temperature
thresholds once again. You can reset the temperature error with one of the following
measures:
● Acknowledgment of the error message by the monitoring software
● Short-term disconnection of the device from the power supply
5.3 Fan monitoring
The operation of the front, CPU and power supply fans is monitored.

reset the error message with one of the following measures:
● Acknowledgment of the error message with the DiagBase or DiagMonitor software.
● Restart the device.
5.4 Watchdog (WD)
The watchdog monitors program execution and reports a program crash to the user by
means of various reactions.
The watchdog can only be activated using the monitoring software. The watchdog is idle
when the device is switched on or after a HW RESET (cold restart), which means that no
reaction of the watchdog is triggered. If the watchdog is activated and was not retriggered by
the monitoring software within the set time, a watchdog alarm is triggered.
5.5 Battery monitoring
The installed backup battery has a limited service life, see chapter "Replacing the backup
battery (Page 70)". Two-tier battery monitoring checks the status of the backup battery. The
SIMATIC DiagBase and SIMATIC DiagMonitor diagnostic software determines the status of
the backup battery.
When the first warning level is reached, the battery for buffering CMOS data still has a
remaining service life of at least one month.
5.6 Active Management Technology (AMT)
AMT (Active Management Technology) is technology for the remote maintenance of
computers (simply called AMT-PC in the remainder of the document) and it includes the
following functions:
● Keyboard–Video–Mouse (KVM) redirection: Using KVM that is integrated in the AMT
hardware you access the AMT PC remotely. With KVM, you can also control AMT PCs
that have no or a defective operating system. A KVM remote session is always possible
with the KVM server integrated in the firmware. This means you can restart the PC and
change the BIOS setup remotely.
● Remote power management: AMT PCs can be turned on and off and restarted from
another PC.
● SOL (Serial over LAN): Redirection of the data of a serial interface to the network. The
main use of the function is text-based remote control of an AMT PC using a console.

8.2.3 ESD guideline
What does ESD mean?
An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated components. Due to their design,
electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static
electricity. Such electronic components or modules are labeled as electrostatic sensitive
devices.
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
● ESD – Electrostatic sensitive device
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as a common international designation
Electrostatic sensitive devices can be labeled with an appropriate symbol.
CAUTION
Damage to ESD from touch
Electrostatic sensitive devices, ESD, can be destroyed by voltages which are far below the
human perception limit. If you touch a component or electrical connections of a module
without discharging any electrostatic energy, these voltages may arise.
The damage to a module by an overvoltage can often not be immediately detected and only
becomes evident after an extended period of operation. The consequences are incalculable
and range from unforeseeable malfunctions to a total failure of the machine or plant.
Avoid touching components directly. Make sure that persons, the workstation and the
packaging are properly grounded.
Charge
Every person without a conductive connection to the electrical potential of his/her
surroundings can be electrostatically charged.
The material with which this person comes into contact is of particular significance. The
figure shows the maximum electrostatic voltages with which a person is charged, depending
on humidity and material. These values conform to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-2.

① Synthetic materials
② Wool
③ Antistatic materials such as wood or concrete
CAUTION
Grounding measures
There is no equipotential bonding without grounding. An electrostatic charge is not
discharged and may damage the ESD.
Protect yourself against discharge of static electricity. When working with electrostatic
sensitive devices, make sure that the person and the workplace are properly grounded.
Protective measures against discharge of static electricity
● Disconnect the power supply before you install or remove modules which are sensitive to
ESD.
● Pay attention to good grounding:
– When handling electrostatical sensitive devices, make sure that persons, the
workstation and devices, tools and packaging used are properly grounded. In this
manner, you avoid static discharge.
● Avoid direct contact:
– As a general rule, do not touch electrostatic sensitive devices, except in the case of
unavoidable maintenance work.
– Hold the modules at their edge so that you do not touch the connector pins or
conductor paths. In this way, the discharge energy does not reach and damage the
sensitive components.
– Discharge your body electrostatically before you take a measurement at a module. Do
so by touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

8.5.3 Interrupt assignment
Interrupt assignment depending on operating system
The functions are assigned different interrupts (IRQ), depending on the operating system. A
distinction is made between PIC and APIC mode.
1 Host PCI-IRQ A to H is assigned to IRQ 16 to 23 permanently in APIC mode. Host PCI-IRQ A to H is automatically
assigned to IRQ 0 to 15 in PIC mode by the BIOS. A specific assignment cannot be forced.
X Interrupt PIC and APIC mode Y Interrupt APIC mode
Z BIOS Default Interrupt PIC mode, e.g. DOS

Z BIOS Default Interrupt PIC mode, e.g. DOS
Exclusive PCI hardware interrupt
Applications demanding high-performance interrupt handling require high-speed hardware
interrupt reaction. The PCI hardware interrupt should be used only by one resource in order
to ensure high-speed reaction of the hardware.
Setting up an exclusive interrupt on the device (APIC mode only)
Only on PCI slot 4 and PCI slot 5 can you use an exclusive interrupt.
Additional exclusive interrupts are not available for use at the slots.
Assigning exclusive interrupts in BIOS Setup (PIC mode only)
The interrupts are automatically assigned to the slots at system startup due to the default
settings in system BIOS. Several slots may share the same interrupt, depending on the
system configuration. This functionality is known as interrupt sharing.
Technical specifications
8.6 BIOS description
SIMATIC IPC547D
106 Operating Instructions, 06/2011, A5E03473780-01
Exclusive interrupts are not available in PIC mode. Disable specific system resources in
order to obtain exclusive interrupts. BIOS assigns the PIC interrupts at random during restart
of the system.
8.6 BIOS description
You can configure the system functions and hardware configuration in the BIOS.
The BIOS is set to a default state suitable to the respective device configuration prior to
delivery. The most important settings are shown in the table below.
Tab Option Setting
Launch PXE OpROM Disabled
SATA configuration AHCI mode or RAID 1
CPU Configuration > Power Technology Disabled

System Monitoring > Fan Control Enhanced
1 Optional for RAID systems
For a detailed description of how to call up and operate the BIOS setup and which menus
and setting options are available, refer to the BIOS reference manual on the "Documentation
and Drivers" DVD that ships with the manual.
NOTICE
After a BIOS update, you need to execute the "Restore Defaults" command. Executing the
"Restore Defaults" command restores all BIOS settings to their original state.
The operating system functions "Save to RAM" (standby) and "Save to Disk" (hibernate)
are not approved for this device.

From a SIMATIC IPC which does not have Intel AMT functions, you can access networked
SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
SIMATIC IPCs that support AMT feature two onboard Ethernet interfaces, each with a
separate controller. You can configure the controller integrated in the chipset for use with
Intel AMT. Further details about the controller can be found in the technical specification.
For security reasons, AMT is disabled when you receive a SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in the
BIOS setup. Afterwards the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) has to be activated and
set for AMT. You make additional settings in the Management Engine:
● Configuring the network for access via AMT
● Creating a password
8.7.2 Overview of AMT
This section describes the required measures and settings on the local IPC so that the IPC
can be controlled and maintained remotely from a management station known below as the
help desk PC.
The local IPC is known below as the "AMT PC".

8.7.5 Resetting with Un-configure
Note
If the AMT PC still has its factory settings, for example has just been purchased, you can
skip this section.
If you have already configured AMT previously, it is best to discard all the previous AMT
settings made in the MEBx.
NOTICE
All previous settings in the management engine are deleted.
Correct operation in the plant may be at risk.
Note down all the settings in the MEBx. Make the settings again as necessary following
Unconfigure.
To reset the AMT settings, follow these steps:
1. Enable the "Un-configure ME" entry in "Advanced > Active Management Technology
Support" in the BIOS.
2. Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
3. After the restart, a user prompt appears asking whether you really want to discard all the
settings in the management engine:
4. Confirm with "Y". On a German keyboard, this means pressing the <Z> key.

110 Operating Instructions, 06/2011, A5E03473780-01
The device continues to boot with the factory settings of the management engine.
8.7.6 Determining the network address
To connect the AMT PC with the AMT server, the network address that uniquely localizes
the AMT server on the AMT PC must be entered.
If DHCP is set for the automatic assignment of the network address in "Network Setup" in
the MEBx of the AMT PC, the network address is not fixed.
Procedure
If the AMT server uses the same network address as the operating system of the AMT PC
(most common situation):
1. You can obtain the address of the AMT server in the command line in Windows using
"ipconfig" and in UNIX using "ifconfig".
If the AMT server and operating system do not use the same network address, ask your
network administrator for the address you have been assigned.
8.7.7 Forcing user consent
When establishing a connection to the AMT PC, the KVM viewer may prompt the user to
enter a six-figure code. This code is displayed on the screen of the AMT PC. The user of the
AMT PC must inform the user of the KVM viewer of this code.
Procedure
To set up this code query on the KVM viewer, follow these steps:
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Select the value "KVM" for "User Consent".
To allow a user with administrator privileges to avoid this code query, follow these steps:
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Enable "Opt-in configurable from remote IT".

voltage (50 VAC to 1000 VAC, 70 VDC to 1500 VDC) and not specified in other directives.
Compliance is confirmed by the CE symbol and the EC certificate of conformity.
LPT interface
The LPT interface (Centronics interface) is a parallel interface that can be used to connect a
printer.
Memory card
Memory cards in credit card format. Memory for user programs and parameters, for
example, for programmable modules and CPs.
Module
Modules are plug-in units for PLCs, programming devices or PCs. They are available as
local modules, expansion modules, interfaces or mass storage (Mass storage module).
Module bracket
The module bracket is used to fasten modules and ensure safe contact and transport.
Shocks and vibrations especially affect large, heavy modules. It is therefore recommended
to use the module bracket for this type of module. There are also very short, compact and
light modules on the market. The module bracket was not designed for these modules
because standard fastening is sufficient for them.
Motherboard
The motherboard is the core of the computer. Here, data are processed and stored, and
interfaces and device I/Os are controlled and managed.
Operating system
Generic term which describes all functions for controlling and monitoring user program
execution, distribution of system resources to the user programs and the operating mode in
cooperation with the hardware (for example Windows XP Professional).
Packet writing
The CD-RW is used as a disk medium. The CD can then be read only by packet–writing
compatible software or has to be finalized. Finalization of a CD closes the CD within an
ISO9660 shell. You can still write to the CD-RW several times in spite of finalization. Not all
CD drives can read packet-written CDs . There are restrictions to using this method in
general data transfer.

realize devices such as modems, fax cards and network interface cards. Type III cards are
equipped with devices that require more space, for example wireless communications
modules, or rotary storage media such as hard disk drives, for example.
PC/104 / PC/104-Plus
Two bus architectures are especially fashionable today in the industrial world. PC/104 and
PC/104-
Plus
. Both are standard in single-board computers of the PC class. The electrical
and logical layout of the two bus systems is identical with ISA (PC/104) and PCI (PC/104-
Plus
). Software cannot usually detect a difference between them and normal desktop bus
systems. Their advantage is the compact design and the resulting space they save.
PCIe

Pixel
PixElement (picture point). The pixel represents the smallest element that can be reproduced
on-screen or on a printer.
Plug&Play
Generally, a reference to the ability of a computer to automatically configure the system for
communication with peripheral devices (for example monitors, modems or printers). The
user can plug in a peripheral and "play" it at once without manually configuring the system. A
Plug&Play PC requires both a BIOS that supports Plug&Play and a Plug&Play expansion
card.
POST
Self-test performed by the BIOS after the computer is switched on. Performs a RAM test and
a graphics controller test, for example. The system outputs audible signals (beep codes) if
the BIOS detects any errors; the relevant message indicating cause of error is output on the
screen.
PROFIBUS/MPI
Process Field Bus (standard bus system for process applications)
PROFINET
PROFINET is the name of the standard for Industrial Ethernet developed and maintained by
the PROFIBUS user organization. PROFINET unites protocols and specifications with which
Industrial Ethernet meets the requirements of industrial automation technology.
Programmable controller (PLC)
The programmable controllers (PLC) of the SIMATIC S5 system consist of a central
controller, one or more CPUs, and various other modules (e.g. I/O modules).
PXE server
A Preboot Execution Environment server is part of a network environment and can provide
software to connected computers even before they boot. This can involve operating system
installations or servicing tools, for example.
RAID
Redundant Array of Independent Disks: Data storage system which is used to save data and
the corresponding error correction codes (parity bits, for example) to at least two hard disk
volumes in order to enhance reliability and performance. The hard disk array is controlled by
management programs and a hard disk controller for error correction. The RAID system is
usually implemented in network servers.
