Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6235-1BR00-0BX1 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel PC designed for demanding human-machine interface applications, combining computing power with a robust industrial enclosure. The unit integrates display, computing hardware, and I/O interfaces into a single compact panel-mount device suitable for use in industrial control cabinets and machine fronts.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 features a high-resolution TFT color display and is built around an industrial-grade processor platform running Microsoft Windows. It provides multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet and serial ports, enabling integration with SIMATIC S7 PLCs and other automation systems via PROFIBUS or Industrial Ethernet. The unit supports Siemens WinCC and WinCC flexible SCADA and HMI software, and is designed for continuous 24-hour operation with fanless or low-noise cooling options depending on configuration.

The Panel PC 670 is widely deployed in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine tool applications where a full PC-based HMI platform is required. Its rugged construction and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for automotive assembly lines, chemical processing plants, and packaging machinery. The ability to run standard Windows-based software alongside Siemens HMI applications makes it a flexible platform for complex visualization and data acquisition tasks.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100000: System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly or a critical system file is missing.
Check hard disk integrity, verify OS installation, and restore from a system backup or recovery image if available.
Event ID: 100001: Hardware watchdog timeout — the watchdog timer was not reset within the expected interval, indicating a system hang.
Restart the Panel PC. If the issue persists, check CPU load, running processes, and consider reinstalling the HMI application.
Event ID: 100002: Fan failure or thermal warning — internal temperature has exceeded the warning threshold or a cooling fan has stopped.
Check and clean air vents and filters. Verify fan operation. Ensure ambient temperature is within specification.
Event ID: 100003: UPS battery low — the internal uninterruptible power supply battery voltage is below the minimum threshold.
Replace the internal UPS battery with the correct Siemens replacement part. Verify charging circuit operation.
Event ID: 100004: Hard disk SMART warning — the hard disk drive has reported a predictive failure condition via SMART diagnostics.
Back up all data immediately and replace the hard disk drive. Restore the OS and HMI application from backup media.
Event ID: 100005: Communication interface error — loss of communication on Ethernet or serial interface to the connected PLC or automation system.
Check network cables and connectors, verify IP address configuration, and confirm PLC communication settings match the Panel PC configuration.
Event ID: 100006: Display backlight failure — the LCD backlight has failed or its brightness has dropped below the operational threshold.
Replace the backlight lamp or inverter board. Contact Siemens service or a qualified repair technician for display module replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV6235-1BR00-0BX1)?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 supports Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, which were the standard operating systems for this product generation. Siemens validated WinCC and WinCC flexible HMI software on these platforms for this unit.

What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

The Panel PC 670 is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and WinCC flexible, as well as other standard Windows-based SCADA and visualization software. It can also run ProTool/Pro for legacy applications.

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV6235-1BR00-0BX1?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for SIMATIC Panel PC products used in industrial cabinet installations.

What is the IP protection rating of the front panel?

The front panel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is rated IP65, providing protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for installation in machine fronts exposed to washdown or dusty environments.

Can this Panel PC communicate directly with SIMATIC S7 PLCs?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 can communicate with SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Industrial Ethernet using the S7 protocol, as well as via PROFIBUS with an appropriate communication card installed.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Check for blown internal fuses. Verify the power supply unit output voltages using a multimeter.

Replace any blown fuses with the correct rating. If the internal power supply has failed, replace the PSU module. Ensure the 24 V DC source can supply sufficient current for the Panel PC.

Display is blank but the system appears to be running (HDD activity, fans operating)

Check the display backlight by shining a torch at the screen to see if a faint image is visible. Test the display cable connection between the mainboard and the LCD panel.

If a faint image is visible, replace the backlight lamp or inverter board. If no image is visible at all, reseat the display cable or replace the LCD module.

Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately to touch input

Verify the touchscreen controller driver is installed correctly in Windows Device Manager. Check the USB or serial connection between the touchscreen overlay and the mainboard.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Siemens or Windows calibration utility. If calibration fails, replace the touchscreen overlay or touchscreen controller board.

Loss of communication with SIMATIC S7 PLC over Ethernet

Ping the PLC IP address from the Panel PC command prompt. Check Ethernet cable integrity and switch/hub connections. Verify IP address and subnet mask settings on both devices.

Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfiguration. Replace the Ethernet cable if faulty. Reinstall the Ethernet adapter driver if the adapter is not recognized in Device Manager.

System freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation

Check Windows Event Viewer for critical errors or blue screen stop codes. Monitor CPU temperature and system resource usage. Inspect the hard disk for errors using CHKDSK or SMART diagnostics.

Replace the hard disk if SMART errors are detected. Increase virtual memory if RAM is insufficient. Reinstall the operating system and HMI application if software corruption is suspected.
