€ 2.495,00
The Siemens 6AV6146-5RQ45-1LY5 is an industrial panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC IPC477E series, manufactured by Siemens. It is a high-performance, panel-mounted industrial PC designed for demanding HMI and SCADA applications in industrial environments. The unit integrates a multi-touch display with a robust industrial-grade enclosure, providing both visualization and computing capabilities in a single device.
The SIMATIC IPC477E features a 19-inch widescreen multi-touch display with a projected capacitive (PCAP) touch interface, supporting multi-finger gesture control. It is powered by an Intel Core processor platform and supports Windows 10 IoT Enterprise or Windows Embedded Standard operating systems. The unit provides multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and optional PROFINET or PROFIBUS connectivity, and is designed for fanless or fan-cooled operation depending on the processor variant. The front panel meets IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for use in environments where dust and water ingress are a concern.
The SIMATIC IPC477E is widely deployed in the automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and machine building industries. It is particularly suited for applications requiring a combination of real-time process visualization, data logging, and integration with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC or TIA Portal engineering environments. Its robust construction and wide operating temperature range make it appropriate for installation directly on machine panels or in control cabinets in harsh industrial settings.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- Operating system startup error — the IPC failed to boot correctly into the configured OS.
Check boot device configuration in BIOS, verify integrity of OS installation, and inspect storage media for errors using diagnostic tools. - Event ID: 1000
- Application crash — a user-space application (e.g., WinCC Runtime) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review Windows Event Viewer logs for the faulting module, reinstall or update the affected application, and check for memory or hardware conflicts. - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected system shutdown — the system was shut down uncleanly, possibly due to power loss or hardware fault.
Check 24 V DC power supply stability, inspect UPS if present, and review hardware event logs for underlying causes. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware component not detected during Power-On Self-Test, such as missing RAM or storage device.
Reseat RAM modules and storage devices, verify hardware compatibility, and update BIOS firmware if required. - Temperature Warning
- Internal temperature has exceeded the defined threshold, triggering a thermal warning.
Check ambient temperature, clean air vents or fan filters, verify fan operation, and ensure adequate clearance around the unit. - Watchdog Timeout
- The hardware watchdog timer has triggered a system reset due to an unresponsive application or OS hang.
Investigate the application causing the hang, review watchdog configuration in the BIOS or software, and update or restart the affected process. - Storage Device Failure
- The internal SSD or CFast card has reported read/write errors or is no longer detected.
Replace the storage medium with a compatible Siemens-approved SSD or CFast card and restore the OS and application image from backup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What operating system does the SIMATIC IPC477E 6AV6146-5RQ45-1LY5 support?
This unit is configured with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. The SIMATIC IPC477E series also supports Windows Embedded Standard 7 on certain variants, but this specific SKU targets Windows 10 IoT Enterprise.
What is the supply voltage for this panel PC?
The SIMATIC IPC477E operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens industrial panel PCs and compatible with typical industrial control cabinet power supplies.
Is this panel PC compatible with Siemens TIA Portal and WinCC?
Yes, the SIMATIC IPC477E is fully compatible with Siemens TIA Portal and WinCC Runtime Advanced or SCADA editions, making it a natural fit for Siemens-based automation architectures.
What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?
The front panel of the SIMATIC IPC477E meets IP65 protection, providing complete protection against dust ingress and resistance to water jets, suitable for direct machine panel installation.
Can the display be operated with gloves?
The PCAP multi-touch screen is optimized for bare finger operation. Glove operability depends on glove thickness and material; thin industrial gloves may work, but this should be verified for the specific application.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Check whether the power LED is illuminated and listen for fan or HDD activity indicating the unit is running without display output.
Verify the power supply is within tolerance (20.4–28.8 V DC). If the unit is running but the display is blank, check DisplayPort or internal display cable connections. A failed backlight or display panel may require hardware replacement.
Touch input is unresponsive or inaccurate
Check whether the issue is present across the entire screen or only in specific zones. Verify that no moisture or contamination is present on the screen surface, as PCAP touch is sensitive to conductive liquids.
Clean the screen surface with a dry cloth. Recalibrate the touch interface via the Windows control panel if available. If the issue persists, update the touch controller driver or replace the touch panel assembly.
System freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation
Review the Windows Event Viewer for critical errors, watchdog events, or thermal warnings. Check CPU and system temperatures using the SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor tool.
Ensure adequate ventilation and that ambient temperature is within specification. Update BIOS and drivers to the latest Siemens-approved versions. If RAM or storage faults are indicated, replace the affected component.
WinCC Runtime fails to start or crashes on launch
Check the Windows Event Viewer Application log for error codes related to WinCC. Verify that the correct WinCC Runtime version is installed and that the license dongle or software license is present and valid.
Reinstall or repair the WinCC Runtime installation. Ensure all required Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables and .NET Framework versions are installed. Reactivate or replace the software license if it has expired or become corrupted.
Ethernet communication not established with PLC or network
Check the physical RJ45 connection and verify link LEDs on the Ethernet port. Use the Windows Device Manager to confirm the network adapter is recognized and has no driver errors.
Replace the Ethernet cable and verify switch port configuration. Reinstall the network adapter driver using the Siemens-provided driver package. Check IP address configuration and firewall settings in Windows to ensure communication is not blocked.
