Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: System startup completed successfully. The HMI runtime has initialized without errors.
No action required. This is an informational event confirming normal startup.
Event ID: 1000002: Connection to the PLC was interrupted or could not be established.
Check MPI/PROFIBUS or Ethernet cable connections. Verify PLC address settings and communication parameters in the project configuration.
Event ID: 1000003: Tag read error. A configured tag could not be read from the PLC.
Verify the tag address in the WinCC flexible project matches the actual PLC data block or memory address. Check PLC program for correct data availability.
Event ID: 1000004: Tag write error. A value could not be written to the configured PLC tag.
Check that the target PLC address is writable and not write-protected. Verify communication link integrity and tag configuration.
Event ID: 1000005: Project loading error. The runtime project could not be loaded from flash memory.
Re-transfer the WinCC flexible project to the panel using a PC and ProTool or WinCC flexible software. Check flash memory integrity.
Event ID: 1000006: Backup battery low or missing. The internal buffer battery voltage is below threshold.
Replace the internal buffer battery. Refer to the device manual for the correct battery type and replacement procedure.
Event ID: 1000008: Screen saver activated due to inactivity timeout.
No corrective action required. Touch the screen or press a key to deactivate the screen saver. Adjust timeout settings in the project if needed.
Event ID: 1000010: Illegal system state detected. An unexpected software exception occurred in the runtime.
Perform a controlled restart of the panel. If the fault persists, re-transfer the project and update the panel firmware to the latest compatible version.

Frequently Asked Questions

What PLC systems is the MP370 6AV6145-1BD00-0KA0 compatible with?

The MP370 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI or PROFIBUS DP, as well as Ethernet-based connections. It also supports drivers for SIMATIC S5 and selected third-party PLCs through WinCC flexible runtime.

What software is used to configure and program this panel?

The MP370 is configured using Siemens SIMATIC WinCC flexible (or the older ProTool software for legacy projects). The compiled project is transferred to the panel via Ethernet, MPI, or USB.

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV6145-1BD00-0KA0?

The panel operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage. Ensure the power supply is adequately rated for the panel's power consumption of approximately 30 W.

What is the IP protection rating of the MP370 front panel?

The front panel of the MP370 achieves IP65 protection, making it resistant to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for industrial cabinet door mounting.

Can the MP370 be used as a standalone PC or run Windows applications?

No, the MP370 is not a standard PC. It runs a dedicated SIMATIC HMI runtime environment and is not designed to execute general Windows applications outside of the WinCC flexible runtime.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check that 24 V DC is present at the power supply terminals. Verify the power connector is fully seated. Measure voltage at the panel input terminals with a multimeter.

Restore correct 24 V DC supply. If voltage is present but display remains blank, the internal power supply board or backlight inverter may be faulty and require replacement or professional repair.

Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Determine whether the issue is a complete lack of response or positional inaccuracy. Check for physical damage or contamination on the touch surface.

Perform a touchscreen recalibration through the panel's Control Panel settings in the startup menu. Clean the screen surface with a soft, dry cloth. If recalibration does not resolve the issue, the touch overlay may need replacement.

Communication fault with PLC — connection repeatedly drops

Check the MPI/PROFIBUS cable for continuity and correct termination resistors at both ends of the bus. Verify the panel's configured PLC address matches the actual PLC station address.

Replace damaged cables, ensure bus termination is correct, and confirm address settings in the WinCC flexible project. Reduce bus cable length or add a repeater if the network exceeds recommended distances.

Project fails to transfer from PC to the panel

Verify the transfer cable or Ethernet connection between the PC and panel. Confirm the panel is set to Transfer mode via the startup menu. Check that the WinCC flexible version is compatible with the panel firmware.

Switch the panel to Transfer mode manually through the Control Panel. Use a known-good Ethernet or MPI cable. Update WinCC flexible or panel firmware if version incompatibility is detected.

Panel restarts unexpectedly during operation

Check the 24 V DC supply for voltage dips or instability under load. Inspect the project for memory overload or runtime errors in the system event log.

Stabilize the power supply by using a dedicated, adequately rated 24 V DC source. Review and optimize the WinCC flexible project to reduce memory usage. Update panel firmware if software-related crashes are suspected.
