- Service failed to start – a required Windows service did not start during boot.
Check the Windows Event Log for the specific service name. Restart the service manually via Services Manager or perform a controlled reboot. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware initialization failure detected during Power-On Self-Test.
Check that all internal memory modules and expansion cards are properly seated. Clear CMOS settings and retry. Replace faulty hardware components if the error persists. - WinCC Runtime Error
- SIMATIC WinCC runtime has failed to start or has crashed unexpectedly.
Verify WinCC license is valid and installed correctly. Check available disk space and RAM. Reinstall WinCC runtime if the issue persists. - Communication Error
- Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or field device.
Check Ethernet or serial cable connections. Verify IP address configuration and network settings. Confirm PLC is powered and running. Check firewall settings on the Panel PC. - Watchdog Timeout
- The system watchdog timer has triggered, indicating the operating system or application has become unresponsive.
Perform a controlled restart. Check CPU load and available memory. Investigate background processes consuming excessive resources. Update or reinstall the HMI application. - Hard Disk Error
- The internal hard disk or CompactFlash storage device has reported a read/write error or failure.
Run a disk diagnostic utility (e.g., chkdsk). Back up data immediately. Replace the internal hard disk or CompactFlash card if errors persist.

Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify the internal fuse and power supply board are functional. Confirm the display backlight inverter is operating.
Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the backlight has failed, replace the backlight inverter or the TFT display assembly. Verify the 24 V DC supply is within tolerance.
Panel PC fails to boot into Windows
Listen for POST beep codes and observe any BIOS error messages on screen. Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for errors using BIOS diagnostics.
Run chkdsk or a disk diagnostic tool. If the storage device has failed, replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card and reinstall the operating system and HMI software.
Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate
Check if the touchscreen controller is recognized in Windows Device Manager. Verify the touchscreen calibration settings within the operating system.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility. If the touchscreen remains unresponsive, check the internal ribbon cable connection between the display and the touchscreen controller board. Replace the touchscreen overlay if damaged.
Loss of communication with PLC
Verify the Ethernet or serial cable is securely connected. Check the IP address configuration on the Panel PC and confirm it matches the network settings of the connected PLC.
Correct any IP address or subnet mask mismatches. Replace damaged cables. Disable any software firewall blocking the communication port. Restart the WinCC runtime and the PLC if necessary.
Panel PC runs slowly or HMI application freezes
Check CPU and RAM utilization via Windows Task Manager. Identify any background processes consuming excessive resources. Check available disk space on the system drive.
Close unnecessary background applications. Free up disk space by removing unused files. If RAM is insufficient, consider upgrading if the hardware supports it. Reinstall the HMI application if software corruption is suspected.
