Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7250-4GK04-1HA0 is a high-performance industrial Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is a panel-mounted industrial computing platform designed for demanding visualization, SCADA, and process control applications. This unit integrates a flat-panel display with a full PC architecture, enabling it to run standard Windows-based HMI and automation software in industrial environments.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7250-4GK04-1HA0 features a 15-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and resistive touch screen technology. It is built around an Intel Celeron or Pentium processor platform and supports multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and serial interfaces (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485). The unit is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65 protection rating on the front face, making it resistant to dust and water ingress. It operates on a 24 V DC supply and supports integration with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC flexible, and other SCADA packages.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely deployed in manufacturing automation, process industries, and machine tool applications where a full Windows PC environment is required alongside robust HMI functionality. Its fanless or low-noise design options make it suitable for cleanroom and noise-sensitive environments. Industries such as automotive, chemical processing, food and beverage, and water treatment commonly use this platform for supervisory control and data acquisition tasks requiring high computational performance and reliable long-term operation.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000: Application error in the HMI runtime software, typically WinCC or WinCC flexible runtime has encountered an unexpected fault.
Restart the HMI runtime application. Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error logs. Reinstall or repair the runtime software if the fault persists.
Event ID: 1001: Communication connection to the PLC or controller has been lost or cannot be established.
Check Ethernet or serial cable connections. Verify PLC IP address and communication settings in the project configuration. Confirm the PLC is powered and running.
Event ID: 26: System time synchronization error; the Panel PC clock has lost its time setting, often due to a depleted CMOS battery.
Replace the internal CMOS/RTC battery on the motherboard. Reconfigure the system time and date in BIOS after replacement.
Event ID: 6008: The previous system shutdown was unexpected, indicating a power loss or system crash occurred.
Check the 24 V DC power supply for stability and adequate current capacity. Review Windows Event Viewer for preceding error events to identify the root cause.
Event ID: 7034: A system service terminated unexpectedly, which may affect HMI runtime or communication drivers.
Identify the affected service in Windows Event Viewer. Restart the service manually or configure it to restart automatically. Reinstall the associated driver or software if necessary.
Event ID: 7036: A service entered the stopped state, potentially halting HMI or communication functionality.
Restart the stopped service via Windows Services Manager. Investigate why the service stopped by reviewing system logs and ensure the service is set to automatic startup.
BSOD Stop Error: Windows Blue Screen of Death indicating a critical kernel or hardware fault, such as a driver conflict or hardware failure.
Note the stop code displayed. Boot into safe mode and check for recently installed drivers or software. Run memory diagnostics and check hard disk integrity using chkdsk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7250-4GK04-1HA0?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC power supply. Ensure the supply is stable and capable of providing sufficient current for the Panel PC and any connected peripherals.

What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC flexible, and other Windows-based SCADA and HMI software packages. It runs a standard Windows operating system, so third-party visualization software can also be installed.

What is the front panel protection rating of the 6AV7250-4GK04-1HA0?

The front panel of this unit carries an IP65 protection rating, providing full dust protection and resistance to water jets. The rear of the unit is not rated to IP65.

Can the storage medium (hard disk or CompactFlash) be replaced or upgraded?

Yes, the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series supports replacement of the internal storage medium. Siemens offers compatible hard disk drives and CompactFlash cards as spare parts, and the operating system image can be restored using a Siemens recovery medium.

Is this Panel PC compatible with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs?

Yes, via Ethernet or MPI/PROFIBUS adapters and appropriate WinCC or WinCC flexible drivers, the Panel PC 670 can communicate with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs as well as other SIMATIC controllers.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check that the 24 V DC supply voltage is present and within tolerance at the power connector. Verify that the backlight inverter is functioning by listening for a faint high-frequency sound or checking for a faint glow on the screen edges.

Confirm power supply output is stable at 24 V DC. If the backlight has failed, the LCD backlight or inverter board may need replacement. If no power is detected internally, inspect the internal fuse and power distribution board.

Touch screen does not respond or is inaccurate

Determine whether the issue is a hardware fault or a calibration issue by observing if touch input is completely absent or simply offset. Check the touch controller connection to the motherboard.

Recalibrate the resistive touch screen using the Windows touch calibration utility or the Siemens panel calibration tool. If calibration does not resolve the issue, replace the touch screen overlay or the touch controller board.

Panel PC fails to boot and shows BIOS error or no operating system found

The internal hard disk drive or CompactFlash storage medium may have failed. Enter BIOS setup at startup to check if the storage device is detected.

If the storage device is not detected, replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card with a compatible unit. Restore the operating system and HMI project using the Siemens recovery image or a backup image.

Frequent communication dropouts between the Panel PC and the PLC

Check the Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Verify the IP address configuration and subnet settings on both the Panel PC and the PLC. Check for IP address conflicts on the network.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Assign a static IP address to the Panel PC to avoid DHCP-related issues. Update the Ethernet adapter driver and verify firewall settings are not blocking the communication port used by WinCC.

System runs slowly or HMI runtime performance is degraded

Check CPU and memory utilization in Windows Task Manager. Identify any background processes consuming excessive resources. Check available hard disk space, as low disk space can severely impact Windows performance.

Disable unnecessary Windows services and startup programs. Free up disk space by removing temporary files and old logs. If the hard disk is fragmented, run a disk defragmentation. Consider upgrading RAM if the system is running near its memory limit.
