Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to initialize correctly on boot.
Check the hard disk or Compact Flash card for errors. Verify the OS installation is intact and re-image if necessary. - Event ID: 200
- Hardware watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has triggered due to a software hang or overload.
Identify and terminate the process causing the CPU overload. Update or reinstall the application software. Check for OS or driver conflicts. - Event ID: 300
- Fan failure detected — the internal cooling fan has stopped or is running below the required speed.
Inspect and clean the fan. Replace the fan unit if it is defective to prevent thermal shutdown. - Event ID: 400
- Temperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded the defined threshold.
Check ambient temperature and ensure adequate ventilation around the panel. Clean air filters and verify the cooling fan is operational. - Event ID: 500
- Battery low warning — the CMOS/RTC backup battery voltage is below the minimum level.
Replace the internal CMOS backup battery with the correct replacement type to prevent loss of BIOS settings and real-time clock data. - Event ID: 600
- Ethernet communication error — loss of network connection or failure to establish communication with the network.
Check Ethernet cable connections and switch/hub status. Verify IP address configuration and network settings in the operating system. - Event ID: 700
- USB device error — a connected USB device is not recognized or has caused a system fault.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB device. Try a different USB port. Verify the device driver is correctly installed.

Yes, the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 supports replaceable storage media such as Compact Flash cards or hard disk drives, which can be replaced or upgraded for increased storage capacity or OS re-imaging.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Check the internal fuse and verify the backlight inverter is functioning.
Replace the fuse if blown. If the supply voltage is correct but the display remains blank, the backlight lamp or inverter board may need replacement. Verify the display cable connections internally.
Touchscreen does not respond to input
Check if the touchscreen driver is correctly installed in the operating system. Verify the touchscreen controller is recognized in Device Manager.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility. If unresponsive, reinstall the touchscreen driver. If the hardware is faulty, the touchscreen overlay may require replacement.
Unit fails to boot and displays BIOS error or stops at POST screen
Check the Compact Flash card or hard disk for physical damage or loose connections. Attempt to boot from an external device to isolate the storage medium as the cause.
Re-seat the storage medium. If the OS is corrupted, re-image the Compact Flash card or hard disk with the correct OS and software image. Replace the storage medium if it is physically defective.
Ethernet communication is not established
Verify the Ethernet cable is connected and the link LED on the RJ45 port is illuminated. Check the IP address configuration in the operating system network settings.
Replace the Ethernet cable if faulty. Reconfigure the IP address and subnet mask to match the network. Update the network adapter driver if necessary.
System shuts down unexpectedly or restarts without warning
Check the internal temperature using the BIOS or system monitoring software. Inspect the cooling fan for operation and check for blocked ventilation openings.
Clean the ventilation slots and ensure the ambient temperature is within the 0 to 45 degrees C operating range. Replace the cooling fan if it is not operating. Check the power supply for voltage stability.
