Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6146-1LP00-0KC1 is a Multi Panel (MP 370) belonging to the SIMATIC HMI Multi Panel series, manufactured by Siemens. It is a high-performance operator panel designed for demanding industrial visualization and control tasks, featuring a 15-inch TFT display. This panel serves as a powerful human-machine interface capable of running both WinCC flexible runtime and standard Windows-based applications simultaneously.

The MP 370 (6AV6146-1LP00-0KC1) is equipped with a 15-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and a touch-sensitive screen for intuitive operator interaction. It runs on a Windows CE operating system and features multiple communication interfaces including PROFIBUS DP, MPI, and Ethernet (TCP/IP), enabling integration into a wide range of automation architectures. The panel includes a compact flash card slot for extended memory and data storage, and supports USB ports for peripheral connectivity. Its robust industrial-grade housing is rated IP65 on the front panel, providing protection against dust and water ingress.

The SIMATIC MP 370 is widely deployed in manufacturing, automotive, chemical processing, and water treatment industries where a versatile and powerful HMI solution is required. Its ability to run standard Windows applications alongside SCADA visualization makes it suitable for complex process visualization, recipe management, and data logging tasks. The large 15-inch display and touch interface make it particularly effective for control panels and operator workstations where clear data presentation and ease of interaction are critical.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 10000: Communication error between the HMI panel and the connected PLC or controller. The configured connection cannot be established.
Check the communication cable and connector integrity. Verify the MPI/PROFIBUS address settings and baud rate configuration in WinCC flexible. Ensure the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Event ID: 10001: Connection to the PLC was interrupted during runtime after a previously successful connection.
Check physical communication cables and connectors. Verify network settings and PLC status. Restart the HMI application and re-establish the connection.
Event ID: 20000: Tag read error. The HMI panel is unable to read the value of a configured tag from the PLC.
Verify the tag address is correctly configured in WinCC flexible and matches the PLC data block or memory area. Check PLC program for address conflicts.
Event ID: 40000: Recipe data error. A problem occurred during reading or writing of recipe data.
Check the recipe configuration in WinCC flexible. Verify that the target memory area in the PLC is accessible and correctly addressed. Check available storage space on the Compact Flash card.
Event ID: 50000: Alarm logging error. The HMI panel cannot write alarm or event data to the configured storage location.
Check available memory on the Compact Flash card or internal flash. Verify the alarm logging configuration in WinCC flexible and ensure the storage path is valid.
Event ID: 60000: System error or runtime fault. An internal software or operating system error has occurred on the HMI panel.
Restart the HMI panel. If the error persists, reload the WinCC flexible project via the transfer connection. Consider performing a factory reset if software corruption is suspected.
Event ID: 70000: Printer or output device error. The panel cannot communicate with the configured printer or output peripheral.
Check the USB or serial connection to the printer. Verify the correct printer driver is installed and configured in the Windows CE environment. Restart the panel and printer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What communication interfaces are available on the 6AV6146-1LP00-0KC1?

The MP 370 supports MPI, PROFIBUS DP, Ethernet (TCP/IP via RJ45), and RS-232 interfaces, allowing integration with a wide range of Siemens PLCs and third-party controllers.

Which software is used to configure and program this HMI panel?

The SIMATIC MP 370 is configured using Siemens WinCC flexible engineering software. Projects are transferred to the panel via Ethernet, MPI, or USB connection.

Is this panel compatible with SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs?

Yes, the MP 370 is fully compatible with SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via MPI or PROFIBUS DP, and also supports S7-200 and third-party controllers through appropriate drivers.

What is the front panel protection rating of the 6AV6146-1LP00-0KC1?

The front panel of the MP 370 is rated IP65, providing complete protection against dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets.

Can the MP 370 run standard Windows applications in addition to WinCC flexible runtime?

Yes, the MP 370 runs Windows CE and can execute standard Windows CE-compatible applications alongside WinCC flexible runtime, making it suitable for combined visualization and data processing tasks.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Check that the supply is within the specified range and that the panel's power LED is illuminated.

Verify and correct the 24 V DC power supply. If the supply is correct but the display remains blank, check the internal backlight fuse or replace the backlight inverter board. A failed backlight is a common cause of a blank display with an otherwise functioning panel.

Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Test touch response across the entire screen surface. Inaccurate response typically indicates a calibration issue, while complete non-response may indicate a hardware fault in the touch controller or digitizer.

Perform a touchscreen recalibration via the Windows CE Control Panel or the SIMATIC HMI startup menu. If recalibration does not resolve the issue, inspect the touch film connector on the display assembly and reseat if necessary. Replace the touch panel overlay if the digitizer is physically damaged.

HMI panel fails to establish communication with the PLC

Check the communication cable type and wiring. Verify the MPI or PROFIBUS address configured on the panel matches the network settings. Use a bus diagnostic tool to check for network errors or address conflicts.

Correct the communication address and baud rate settings in the WinCC flexible project and reload the project to the panel. Replace the communication cable if continuity testing reveals a fault. Ensure the PROFIBUS termination resistors are correctly set at both ends of the network.

Panel repeatedly reboots or freezes during operation

Check the 24 V DC supply for voltage drops or ripple using an oscilloscope. Inspect the Compact Flash card for errors. Review the Windows CE event log for software exceptions or memory errors.

Stabilize the power supply and ensure it is adequately rated for the panel's power consumption. Replace the Compact Flash card if it shows read/write errors. Reload the WinCC flexible project and, if instability persists, perform a factory reset and reconfigure the panel from scratch.

Project transfer from engineering PC to panel fails

Verify the transfer channel settings in WinCC flexible match the physical connection being used (Ethernet, MPI, or USB). Check that the panel is in Transfer mode and that firewalls or network settings are not blocking the connection.

Set the panel to Transfer mode via the SIMATIC HMI startup menu. Confirm the IP address or MPI address is correctly configured on both the PC and the panel. Disable any PC firewall temporarily to rule out network blocking. If using Ethernet, verify the cable and switch connectivity with a ping test.
