Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to initialize correctly during boot.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for integrity. Verify the OS installation and re-image if necessary.
Event ID: 101: Hardware configuration mismatch — installed hardware does not match the expected system configuration.
Check BIOS settings and verify that all hardware components are correctly seated and recognized.
Event ID: 200: Communication interface error — loss of communication on the Ethernet or serial interface.
Check cable connections, verify network settings, and confirm the communication driver is correctly configured in the OS.
Event ID: 201: WinCC Runtime connection lost — the HMI application has lost its connection to the PLC or data source.
Verify PLC communication settings, check Ethernet cabling, and restart the WinCC Runtime application.
Event ID: 300: Touchscreen or input device not responding — the front panel input device has stopped responding.
Recalibrate the touchscreen via the control panel utility. If the issue persists, check the internal touchscreen controller connection.
Event ID: 400: Fan failure or overtemperature warning — internal cooling fan has failed or ambient temperature exceeds the rated limit.
Check and clean the ventilation slots. Verify ambient temperature is within 0 °C to +45 °C. Replace the cooling fan if faulty.
Event ID: 500: Storage media error — read/write error detected on the hard disk or CompactFlash storage device.
Run a disk check utility. Back up data immediately and replace the storage medium if errors persist.
Event ID: 600: Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the acceptable operating threshold.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the supply is stable and within the specified 24 V DC range.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Check whether the power LED is illuminated and listen for fan activity to determine if the unit is receiving power.

Verify and restore the 24 V DC supply. If power is confirmed but the display remains blank, check the internal display cable connection or replace the backlight inverter board.

Touchscreen does not respond to input

Attempt to control the system using an external USB mouse or keyboard to determine if the issue is isolated to the touchscreen. Check Device Manager in Windows for touchscreen controller errors.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration utility in the Windows Control Panel. If calibration fails, check the internal ribbon cable connection to the touchscreen controller or replace the touchscreen assembly.

Unit fails to boot into Windows operating system

Observe the boot sequence on the display. Check whether the BIOS POST completes and whether the system attempts to load from the storage device. Listen for hard disk activity.

Re-seat the CompactFlash card or hard disk. If the storage medium is corrupted, re-image the device using the Siemens recovery image for the Panel PC 670. Replace the storage medium if hardware failure is confirmed.

Loss of communication with SIMATIC S7 PLC

Verify the Ethernet cable connection between the Panel PC and the PLC or network switch. Check the IP address configuration in Windows and confirm the WinCC project communication settings match the PLC configuration.

Restore correct IP addressing, check and replace the Ethernet cable if faulty, and restart the WinCC Runtime. Ensure the correct SIMATIC communication driver is installed and active.

System overheating or unexpected shutdown

Check the ambient temperature around the panel installation. Inspect the ventilation slots on the rear of the unit for blockage by dust or debris. Verify that the internal cooling fan is operating.

Clean all ventilation slots with compressed air. Ensure the installation environment does not exceed 45 °C. Replace the internal cooling fan if it is found to be faulty or not spinning.
