The product identifier 6ES7730-1AC20-2AC0 corresponds to a specific configuration of the Siemens SIMATIC IPC MD-57A, a rugged, high-performance industrial mobile computer (Field PG / Programming Device) tailored for configuring, commissioning, and maintaining Siemens automation systems.
The breakdown of the technical specifications encoded in this part number includes:
Core Hardware Specifications
- Processor & Graphics: Powered by an Intel Core i7-12800HE processor featuring 20 threads, a 24 MB cache, and up to 4.60 GHz clock speeds, alongside eligible Intel Iris Xe graphics.
- Memory & Storage: Equipped with 64 GB DDR5 SDRAM (configured as a dual-channel 2x32GB SO-DIMM setup) and paired with a high-capacity storage array (typically includes a 2 TB primary storage option).
- Display: Integrates a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) non-reflecting LED industrial display.
Interfaces & Engineering Connectivity
Built for plant floors and harsh environments, this unit retains standard engineering interfaces for PLC/HMI deployment:
- Network & Wireless: Built-in Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and 2x RJ45 1GbE network ports.
- Peripheral Connections: 2x USB-C Gen 4, 3x USB-A Gen 3.2 x 2, 1x USB-A Gen 2, and 1x HDMI 1.4b.
- Industrial Protocols: Standard native provisioning typically found on the MD-57A line includes support for legacy and current communication blocks such as PROFIBUS DP/MPI interfaces.
Software & Licensing Breakdown
The suffix variables specify the regional layout, storage media add-ons, and integrated license configurations:
- Operating System: Pre-installed with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise (64-bit).
- Software Package: Bundled with pre-installed SIMATIC software (typically V19 or newer environment).
- Licenses: Loaded with engineering combo licenses allowing you to interface with both modern TIA Portal and legacy STEP 7 platforms:
- STEP 7 Professional Combo
- WinCC Advanced
- Safety Advanced Combo
If you need to verify or purchase this hardware, let GEASB know:
- Are you checking the compatibility of this particular software license combo with existing plant infrastructure?
- Do you need to compare this exact model's hardware layout against alternative configuration codes (like the
1AB20series)? - Are you trying to track down official CAD data sheets or technical manuals from the Siemens SiePortal?
