Description Restrictions apply to the assignment of LAN interfaces for automation networks in the SIMATIC IPC227D / 277D. Automation networks must be incorporated via the Ethernet interface X2 (marked PN/IE (LAN) X2). The use of automation protocols on Ethernet interface X1 (marked PN/IE (LAN) X1) is not permitted. Set up your system as illustrated in the example below:
Fig. 01
Note The LAN driver V2.4.1 for the LAN interface X1 (EGT02) which is integrated in the chipset only supports TCP/IP communication and not the protocols which are required in automation technology.
Why is the UPS not recognized via USB interface when a Panel PC 477-HMI or -HMI/RTX is operating with a SITOP DC UPS module?
With the pre-loaded software SIMATIC HMI WinCC Flexible 2008 WinXPe this behaviour is caused by the fact that WinCC Flexible uses a USB driver for the USB interconnection (loading of projects via USB-USB-connection).
Remedy:
The SITOP DC UPS software must be installed and the SITOP DC UPS must be connected with the PC (see Entry ID 42822724 or https://www.siemens.com/sitop). In the following table you find a description how to activate the SITOP DC UPS driver.
No.

Description:
A UPS protects a computer from sudden drops in supply voltage and related loss of data. The UPS immediately recognizes the loss of voltage provision and provides the computer with voltage a few milliseconds later from the built-in buffer battery. However, a UPS cannot supply the necessary switch-on current for the computer.
Remedy:
You should therefore only activate your computer when you have the required voltage/power supply.

How do you connect the PS Expansion Board of the CPU 41x-2 PCI V3.4 to the internal voltage supply of the Box PC 627?
Instructions: The PS (power supply) expansion board is engineered in such a way that power is supplied either through the internal PC supply unit or the external supply. In the Box PC 627 there is a plug for the PS expansion board for connecting the internal power supply. The following table describes how you can connect the PS expansion board of the CPU 41x-2 PCI V3.4 (WinAC Slot) to the internal power supply of the Box PC 627:
No.
Procedure
1
Loosen the two screws on the rear of the Box PC 627 and remove the top.
2
Plug the 12V power cable supplied into the connector indicated in the Box PC 627.
