€ 1.770,00
The Siemens 6AV7611-0AA10-0AJ0 is a Mobile Panel 170, part of the SIMATIC HMI Mobile Panel family. This handheld operator panel is designed for flexible, portable human-machine interface applications where the operator needs to move freely around a machine or system. It connects to SIMATIC controllers and other compatible PLCs via a trailing cable, enabling on-site operation and monitoring without being fixed to a control cabinet.
The Mobile Panel 170 features a 5.7-inch STN color display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA), providing clear visualization of process data and operator screens. It is equipped with a membrane keypad with function keys, numeric keys, and dedicated control keys including an enabling button (three-position safety switch) and an emergency stop button, making it suitable for safety-relevant applications. The unit communicates via PROFIBUS DP and MPI interfaces, and is powered through the connecting cable. It supports configuration using SIMATIC WinCC flexible software.
The Mobile Panel 170 is widely used in manufacturing, automotive assembly, packaging, and machine tool industries where operators need to perform setup, commissioning, or maintenance tasks directly at the machine. Its portable design and integrated safety features such as the enabling switch and emergency stop make it particularly suitable for applications requiring close proximity operation under safety regulations. The rugged housing and ergonomic design allow for extended use in industrial shop floor environments.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 10000
- Connection to the PLC lost or communication interrupted
Check the connecting cable for damage or loose connections. Verify PROFIBUS/MPI address settings and ensure the PLC is in RUN mode. - Event ID: 10001
- Project download failed or no project loaded on the panel
Re-download the project from SIMATIC WinCC flexible. Ensure the panel is in transfer mode and the communication settings match. - Event ID: 20000
- Tag read/write error — a configured variable cannot be accessed
Check PLC program for the corresponding variable address. Verify data block existence and correct data type mapping in the WinCC flexible project. - Event ID: 40000
- System memory low — insufficient memory for runtime operation
Reduce the number of active screens or objects. Optimize the project in WinCC flexible and reload the project to the panel. - Event ID: 50000
- Enabling button not actuated — operation blocked
Press and hold the three-position enabling switch to the middle position to enable machine movement. Release and re-actuate if the switch was held in the fully pressed (panic) position. - Event ID: 60000
- Emergency stop activated — panel emergency stop button pressed
Identify and resolve the cause of the emergency stop condition. Rotate and release the emergency stop button, then reset the safety circuit before resuming operation. - Event ID: 70000
- Panel configuration mismatch — firmware version incompatible with loaded project
Update the panel firmware using ProSave or WinCC flexible, or recompile and re-download the project using a compatible version of WinCC flexible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What communication interfaces does the Mobile Panel 170 (6AV7611-0AA10-0AJ0) support?
The Mobile Panel 170 supports PROFIBUS DP and MPI communication interfaces. Connection to the controller is made via a trailing cable that also supplies power to the panel.
What software is required to configure the Mobile Panel 170?
The panel is configured using Siemens SIMATIC WinCC flexible. Projects are downloaded to the panel via the connecting cable or a direct PC connection using ProSave for firmware updates.
Does the Mobile Panel 170 include safety features?
Yes, the panel includes an integrated three-position enabling button (dead man's switch) and a mushroom-head emergency stop button, making it suitable for safety-relevant machine operation tasks.
What is the display size and type on this panel?
The Mobile Panel 170 features a 5.7-inch STN color LCD display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and 256 colors.
Which SIMATIC controllers is the Mobile Panel 170 compatible with?
The Mobile Panel 170 is compatible with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and other controllers accessible via PROFIBUS DP or MPI interfaces.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after connecting the panel
Check that the connecting cable is fully seated at both the panel and the junction box. Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the cable connector.
Ensure the 24 V DC power supply is active and within specification. Replace the connecting cable if damaged. If power is confirmed and the display remains blank, the panel may require repair or replacement of the internal display unit.
Panel shows 'No connection to PLC' or communication error on startup
Verify the PROFIBUS or MPI address configured on the panel matches the address expected in the WinCC flexible project. Check the cable for continuity and inspect the junction box connections.
Correct the bus address settings on the panel via the Start Center menu. Replace the connecting cable if a wiring fault is found. Ensure the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Enabling button does not allow machine movement
Check whether the enabling switch is being held in the correct middle position. A fully pressed or fully released position will not enable operation. Also verify the safety circuit wiring at the junction box.
Instruct the operator to apply moderate pressure to the enabling switch to reach the active middle position. If the switch is mechanically faulty, the panel must be sent for repair as the enabling device is safety-critical.
Emergency stop cannot be reset after being pressed
Confirm the emergency stop button has been physically released by rotating it clockwise. Check the safety relay or safety PLC input connected to the emergency stop circuit for a latched fault.
Rotate the emergency stop button to release it, then perform a safety circuit reset according to the machine's safety documentation. If the button does not release or reset, inspect the button mechanism and replace if defective.
Project download fails or panel does not enter transfer mode
Ensure the panel is set to transfer mode via the Start Center. Check that the PC communication settings in WinCC flexible match the panel interface (MPI address, baud rate, or PROFIBUS address).
Restart the panel and select 'Transfer' from the Start Center menu. Verify PC adapter settings and cable connections. If the panel is unresponsive, use ProSave to restore the operating system before re-downloading the project.
