Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7611-0AA20-0BJ0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel-mounted PC designed for demanding human-machine interface (HMI) and visualization tasks in automation environments. This unit combines a built-in display with a full PC architecture, enabling both operator control and data processing within a single compact device.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7611-0AA20-0BJ0) features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and a touch-sensitive front panel for operator interaction. It is based on an x86-compatible processor architecture and runs Microsoft Windows operating systems, supporting SIMATIC WinCC and other SCADA/HMI software packages. The unit provides standard PC interfaces including USB ports, serial COM ports, and an Ethernet interface for network connectivity and integration with Siemens S7 PLCs via PROFINET or Industrial Ethernet. The front panel meets IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust and water ingress from the front.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, and process industries where a robust, panel-mounted PC-based HMI solution is required. It is suited for applications demanding local visualization, recipe management, data logging, and process monitoring at the machine level. Its compatibility with standard PC software and Siemens automation ecosystems makes it a practical choice for integration into existing SIMATIC-based control architectures.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup failure — the Panel PC fails to complete the boot sequence, often due to a corrupted operating system or failed storage medium.
Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors. Reinstall or restore the operating system image using the Siemens recovery tool.
Event ID: 1000: Application crash — the HMI or SCADA software (e.g. WinCC) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for application error details. Reinstall or repair the HMI software. Check for software compatibility with the installed OS version.
Event ID: 7000: Service failed to start — a required Windows service did not start during boot, preventing normal HMI operation.
Check the Windows Event Log for the specific service name. Verify service startup settings and dependencies. Reinstall the affected software component if necessary.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC (e.g. S7-300/400) via Industrial Ethernet or MPI.
Verify Ethernet cable connections and network configuration. Check IP address settings and ensure the PLC is powered and reachable. Review WinCC channel driver configuration.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has detected that the operating system or application has stopped responding within the defined time window.
Perform a controlled restart of the Panel PC. Investigate CPU load and running processes. If recurring, check for hardware faults such as failing RAM or storage media.
Temperature Warning: Internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Check that ventilation slots are unobstructed. Verify ambient temperature is within the 0–45 °C operating range. Inspect and clean any internal cooling fans if present.
Storage Media Error: Read/write error detected on the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive used as the system storage medium.
Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk. Restore the operating system and HMI application from a backup image. Ensure the replacement media is Siemens-approved for this Panel PC model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What display size and resolution does the 6AV7611-0AA20-0BJ0 have?

This Panel PC features a 12-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA). The display includes a resistive touchscreen for operator input.

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7611-0AA20-0BJ0) support?

The unit supports Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, which are compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and other standard HMI software packages.

What is the supply voltage for this Panel PC?

The 6AV7611-0AA20-0BJ0 operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for industrial panel-mounted devices in SIMATIC environments.

Is the front panel of this unit protected against dust and water?

Yes, the front panel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 meets IP65 protection rating, providing full protection against dust ingress and resistance to water jets.

What communication interfaces are available on this Panel PC?

The unit provides an RJ45 Ethernet port for Industrial Ethernet or PROFINET connectivity, USB ports, and RS-232 serial COM ports for peripheral and PLC communication.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not boot or display remains blank after power on

Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify that the CompactFlash card or hard disk is properly seated and not corrupted. Listen for POST beep codes.

Reseat the storage media. If the storage medium is faulty, replace the CompactFlash card and restore the OS image using the Siemens recovery procedure. Verify the power supply output is stable at 24 V DC.

Touchscreen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions

Check if the touchscreen calibration has been lost, which can occur after an OS reinstallation or system crash. Inspect the touchscreen connector inside the unit for loose connections.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows control panel touchscreen calibration utility. If calibration fails, inspect and reseat the internal touchscreen ribbon cable. Replace the touchscreen assembly if the hardware is damaged.

Loss of communication with S7 PLC via Ethernet

Verify the Ethernet cable is connected and the link LED on the RJ45 port is active. Check the IP address configuration of the Panel PC and the PLC. Review the WinCC communication channel driver settings.

Correct any IP address conflicts or subnet mismatches. Replace the Ethernet cable if faulty. Reconfigure the WinCC channel driver with the correct PLC connection parameters and restart the HMI application.

HMI application (WinCC) crashes repeatedly at runtime

Check the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs. Verify that the installed WinCC version is compatible with the operating system and the Panel PC hardware. Check available disk space and RAM.

Reinstall or repair the WinCC runtime software. Ensure all Siemens software patches and service packs are applied. If the storage medium is nearly full, archive old log files and increase available disk space.

Panel PC overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Check the ambient temperature around the panel installation. Inspect ventilation openings for dust blockage. Verify that the Panel PC is installed with adequate clearance as specified in the mounting guidelines.

Clean dust from ventilation slots using compressed air. Ensure the installation environment does not exceed 45 °C ambient temperature. If an internal fan is present, verify it is operating correctly and replace it if faulty.
