€ 1.870,00
The Siemens 6AV7260-1DM20-0BX0 is a panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC IPC277D series, manufactured by Siemens as part of its industrial PC product line. This unit is a 15-inch multi-touch panel PC designed for use as a human-machine interface in demanding industrial environments. It combines computing power with a robust, fanless design suitable for continuous operation on the factory floor.
The IPC277D features a 15-inch widescreen TFT display with a projected capacitive (PCT) multi-touch screen supporting up to 5 simultaneous touch points. The unit is powered by an Intel Atom processor and supports Windows Embedded Standard 7 or Windows 7 operating systems. It provides multiple communication interfaces including PROFINET, USB, and serial ports, and is rated IP65 on the front panel for protection against dust and water ingress. The device supports integration with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and other SCADA/HMI software platforms.
The SIMATIC IPC277D is widely deployed in manufacturing, process automation, automotive, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Its compact panel-mount design and multi-touch capability make it suitable for machine-level operator control stations, process visualization terminals, and supervisory control applications where a robust, maintenance-friendly HMI solution is required.

Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to corrupted system files or storage media failure.
Check the storage medium (CompactFlash or SSD). Attempt system restore or reinstall the operating system image. - Event ID: 1000
- Application crash — a running HMI or SCADA application (e.g. WinCC) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review Windows Event Viewer logs for the faulting module. Reinstall or update the application. Check for memory or hardware conflicts. - Event ID: 7000
- Service failed to start — a required Windows service did not start during boot, which may affect HMI functionality.
Open Services Manager and verify the service startup type. Restart the service manually or reconfigure its dependencies. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware component not detected during Power-On Self-Test, such as missing RAM or storage device.
Reseat RAM modules and storage media. Verify all internal connectors are secure. Replace faulty hardware components as needed. - WinCC Runtime Error
- WinCC Runtime cannot establish a connection to the configured PLC or data source.
Verify PROFINET/Ethernet network configuration, IP addressing, and PLC availability. Check WinCC project communication settings. - Touchscreen Not Responding
- The PCT touch interface is not registering input, possibly due to driver failure or hardware fault.
Restart the touch driver service via Device Manager. If the issue persists, recalibrate the touch screen or replace the touch controller hardware. - Temperature Warning
- Internal temperature has exceeded the recommended operating threshold, triggering a thermal warning.
Verify ambient temperature is within 0–50 °C. Ensure ventilation around the panel cutout is unobstructed. Check that the fanless heat spreader is not blocked.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the supply voltage for the SIMATIC IPC277D 6AV7260-1DM20-0BX0?
The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens SIMATIC panel PCs.
What touch technology does this panel PC use?

Yes, the SIMATIC IPC277D is fully compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and WinCC flexible HMI software platforms.
What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?
The front panel of the IPC277D is rated IP65, providing full protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
What communication interfaces are available on this device?
The unit provides PROFINET via RJ45, multiple USB 2.0 ports, and serial interfaces (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485) for integration with PLCs and peripheral devices.
Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied
Measure the 24 V DC supply at the power connector with a multimeter. Check the supply cable and connector for damage or loose connections.
Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within the specified tolerance. Replace the power supply cable or connector if damaged. If the unit still does not power on, the internal power supply board may require replacement.
Display is blank but the system appears to be running (LEDs active)
Check display brightness settings in the operating system. Verify the display driver is functioning correctly in Device Manager.
Adjust display brightness via the BIOS or OS settings. Reinstall the display driver. If the backlight has failed, the display assembly may need to be replaced.
Touch input is inaccurate or unresponsive
Check for surface contamination on the touch screen glass. Verify the touch driver is installed and active in Device Manager.
Clean the touch screen surface with a lint-free cloth. Recalibrate the touch screen through the OS control panel. If the issue persists, replace the touch controller or display assembly.
PROFINET communication loss with connected PLC
Check the Ethernet cable connection and network switch. Verify IP address configuration on both the IPC and the PLC. Use a network diagnostic tool to check for packet loss.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure IP settings to ensure both devices are on the same subnet. Update the PROFINET driver or network adapter firmware if available.
System freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation
Review Windows Event Viewer for critical errors or blue screen dump files. Check internal storage health using diagnostic tools. Monitor CPU and memory usage for resource exhaustion.
Replace the CompactFlash card or SSD if storage errors are detected. Increase virtual memory if RAM is insufficient. Ensure the operating system and all drivers are up to date.
