Common Error Codes & System Events

No Image Signal: The monitor receives no video signal from the connected Panel PC or source device.
Check the VGA cable connection between the monitor and the Panel PC. Ensure the Panel PC is powered on and the graphics output is active. Try reseating or replacing the VGA cable.
Out of Range: The incoming video signal resolution or refresh rate is outside the supported range of the display.
Adjust the resolution and refresh rate settings on the connected Panel PC to match the monitor's supported specifications (1024 x 768 at 60 Hz recommended).
Power LED Off: The monitor shows no signs of power; the power LED does not illuminate.
Verify that the 24 V DC supply is present and within tolerance at the power connector. Check wiring and fuses in the supply circuit. Replace the power supply if voltage is absent.
Backlight Failure: The display panel appears dark or very dim even though a video signal is present.
The backlight lamp or backlight inverter board may have failed. Inspect the inverter board for visible damage. Replace the backlight assembly or inverter board as required.
Display Artifacts: Visible distortion, flickering, or color anomalies appear on the screen during operation.
Check the VGA cable for damage or loose connections. Test with a known-good cable. If artifacts persist, the LCD panel or graphics output on the Panel PC may be faulty.
Touch Not Responding: If equipped with a touch overlay, the touchscreen does not respond to input.
Check the USB or serial connection of the touch controller to the Panel PC. Recalibrate the touchscreen using the operating system's calibration utility. Replace the touch overlay if hardware failure is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What display resolution does the 6AV4573-1AF00-0AA0 support?

The 6AV4573-1AF00-0AA0 supports a native resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA). Operating the connected system at this resolution is recommended for optimal image quality.

What is the supply voltage for this flat panel monitor?

This monitor operates on a 24 V DC supply, which is standard for SIMATIC industrial panel components and compatible with typical control cabinet power supplies.

Which SIMATIC Panel PCs is this monitor compatible with?

The 6AV4573-1AF00-0AA0 is designed for use with SIMATIC Panel PCs that provide a VGA output interface. It is part of the SIMATIC flat panel monitor range intended to complement Siemens Panel PC 670 and similar platforms.

How is this monitor mounted?

The monitor is designed for panel mounting, allowing it to be installed directly into a control cabinet door or operator panel cutout using the appropriate mounting hardware.

Does this unit include a touchscreen?

The base 6AV4573-1AF00-0AA0 variant is a flat panel display monitor; touch functionality depends on the specific configuration. Consult the Siemens product documentation to confirm whether a touch overlay is included in this part number variant.

Troubleshooting

Monitor displays no image after power on

Check whether the power LED is illuminated. If not, measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. If the LED is on but no image appears, verify the VGA signal cable is securely connected at both ends.

Restore the 24 V DC supply if absent or out of tolerance. Replace or reseat the VGA cable. If the Panel PC is not outputting a video signal, check the graphics driver and display settings on the Panel PC.

Screen image is distorted or shows incorrect colors

Inspect the VGA cable for bent pins or physical damage. Test the monitor with a different VGA source to isolate whether the fault is in the monitor or the Panel PC graphics output.

Replace the VGA cable if damaged. If the fault follows the monitor to a different source, the LCD panel or internal video circuitry may require repair or replacement.

Backlight is dim or does not illuminate

With the monitor powered and a video signal connected, observe whether a faint image is visible when a bright light is shone on the screen. This confirms the LCD is functioning but the backlight has failed.

Replace the backlight inverter board or the CCFL backlight lamp. In units with LED backlighting, inspect the LED driver board. These components are typically available as spare parts for industrial flat panel monitors.

Monitor powers off intermittently during operation

Monitor the 24 V DC supply voltage under load for voltage drops or instability. Check for loose connections at the power connector. Inspect the ambient temperature around the unit for overheating conditions.

Stabilize the power supply and ensure wiring connections are secure. Improve ventilation around the monitor if thermal shutdown is suspected. If the issue persists, the internal power regulation circuitry may require service.

Touchscreen input is inaccurate or unresponsive

Verify the touch controller interface cable (USB or serial) is securely connected to the Panel PC. Check Device Manager on the Panel PC for touch controller driver errors. Attempt a touchscreen recalibration.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration tool in the operating system. Update or reinstall the touch controller driver if errors are present. If hardware damage to the touch overlay is confirmed, replace the touch panel assembly.
