€ 1.164,00
The Siemens 6AV7295-6RC00-0AA0 is a panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC IPC277D series, part of Siemens' industrial-grade embedded Panel PC lineup. It is designed for use as a human-machine interface (HMI) in demanding industrial environments, combining computing performance with a robust touchscreen display. This unit integrates seamlessly into Siemens' TIA Portal engineering framework and is compatible with WinCC Runtime and other SCADA/HMI software platforms.
The IPC277D features a widescreen multi-touch display with a resistive or projected capacitive touch interface, depending on the variant, and is built around an Intel Atom or Celeron embedded processor. It supports communication via PROFINET, Ethernet, USB, and optionally PROFIBUS, enabling integration into a wide range of automation architectures. The unit is designed for fanless operation in many configurations, improving reliability in dusty or harsh environments, and carries an IP65 rating on the front panel for protection against dust and water ingress.
The SIMATIC IPC277D is widely deployed in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine building applications where a robust, panel-mounted HMI PC is required. It is suitable for industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing, where reliable operator interfaces with industrial-grade durability are essential. Its compatibility with standard Windows operating systems and Siemens WinCC makes it a practical choice for both new installations and upgrades of existing Siemens-based control systems.

Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly or a critical system file is missing.
Check the storage medium (CompactFlash or SSD) for errors. Reinstall or restore the OS image using the Siemens recovery partition or recovery USB. - Event ID: 1001
- Application crash or unexpected software termination detected by Windows Error Reporting.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for the faulting application. Update or reinstall the HMI runtime software (e.g., WinCC Runtime). Check for OS updates or driver conflicts. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware initialization failure during Power-On Self-Test, often related to RAM or storage device.
Reseat RAM modules if accessible. Verify storage device connection. If persistent, replace the storage medium or contact Siemens support for hardware diagnostics. - WinCC Runtime Error
- WinCC Runtime fails to start or terminates unexpectedly, preventing HMI operation.
Check WinCC Runtime license validity. Reinstall WinCC Runtime. Verify project file integrity and ensure the project is compatible with the installed Runtime version. - Network Connection Lost
- PROFINET or Ethernet communication to the PLC or network has been interrupted.
Check Ethernet cable connections and switch/router status. Verify IP address configuration in the HMI project settings. Check PLC availability and PROFINET device name assignment. - Touchscreen Calibration Error
- Touch input is misaligned or unresponsive, indicating a calibration or driver issue.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel or Siemens Start Center. If unresponsive, check the touch controller driver in Device Manager and reinstall if necessary. - Temperature Warning
- Internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Ensure adequate ventilation around the panel cutout. Verify ambient temperature is within the 0–50 °C operating range. Clean any dust from ventilation areas and check that the unit is not exposed to direct heat sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC IPC277D (6AV7295-6RC00-0AA0)?
The IPC277D supports Windows Embedded Standard 7 and Windows 7 Ultimate, depending on the ordered configuration. It is compatible with Siemens WinCC Runtime and other Windows-based HMI software.
What is the supply voltage for this Panel PC?
The 6AV7295-6RC00-0AA0 operates on 24 V DC, which is standard for Siemens SIMATIC Panel PCs used in industrial cabinet installations.
Is the SIMATIC IPC277D compatible with Siemens TIA Portal?
Yes, the IPC277D is fully compatible with Siemens TIA Portal and can run WinCC Runtime Advanced, making it suitable for use as an operator station in TIA-based automation projects.
What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?
The front panel of the IPC277D carries an IP65 rating, providing full protection against dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets.
Can this Panel PC communicate via PROFIBUS?
PROFIBUS communication is available as an optional interface on certain IPC277D configurations. The base unit includes PROFINET and standard Ethernet; a PROFIBUS module or adapter may be required for PROFIBUS connectivity.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check that 24 V DC supply voltage is present at the power connector. Measure voltage at the input terminals and verify the power supply unit output. Check the internal fuse if accessible.
Restore correct 24 V DC supply. If voltage is present but display remains off, attempt a hard reset by holding the power button. If the issue persists, the backlight inverter or display assembly may require replacement.
Touchscreen does not respond to input
Verify that the touchscreen driver is correctly installed in Windows Device Manager. Check for any physical damage to the touch surface. Attempt to use a USB mouse to confirm the OS is running normally.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows Control Panel calibration tool or Siemens Start Center. Reinstall the touch controller driver if it shows an error in Device Manager. If hardware damage is present, the touch panel assembly requires replacement.
Unit fails to boot and displays a BIOS or POST error
The storage device (CompactFlash card or SSD) may be corrupted or failing. Check BIOS settings to confirm the correct boot device is selected. Listen for any unusual hardware initialization behavior.
Use the Siemens recovery USB or recovery partition to restore the factory OS image. If the storage device is physically faulty, replace it with a compatible Siemens-approved storage medium and reinstall the OS and WinCC Runtime.
WinCC Runtime project does not start automatically on boot
Check the Windows startup configuration and verify that the WinCC Runtime autostart setting is enabled in the Siemens Start Center or Windows startup folder. Review the Windows Event Log for any Runtime errors.
Enable autostart for WinCC Runtime via the Siemens Start Center application. Ensure the project path is correctly configured and that the Runtime license is valid and properly installed.
Loss of communication with PLC over PROFINET
Check the Ethernet cable connection between the IPC277D and the network switch or PLC. Verify the IP address and PROFINET device name assigned to the Panel PC match the project configuration in TIA Portal.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP address and PROFINET device name in the HMI project or Windows network settings. Ensure the PLC is online and the PROFINET network is functioning correctly.
