Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- Application error – a software application has encountered a fatal error and was terminated unexpectedly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for details. Reinstall or update the affected HMI application. Verify software compatibility with the installed OS version. - Event ID: 7026
- A boot-start or system-start driver failed to load during Windows startup.
Check Device Manager for driver conflicts. Reinstall the relevant hardware driver or restore the system from a known-good backup image. - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected system shutdown – the previous system shutdown was unexpected.
Check power supply stability at the 24 V DC input. Inspect for overheating conditions. Review Windows Event Viewer for preceding error events. - BIOS POST Error
- Power-On Self-Test failure detected during startup, indicating a hardware fault such as memory or CPU issue.
Reseat RAM modules and check all internal connections. If the error persists, replace the defective hardware component or contact Siemens service. - WinCC Runtime Error
- SIMATIC WinCC runtime has encountered a configuration or communication error and cannot start or maintain a connection.
Verify the WinCC project configuration and PLC communication settings. Check Ethernet connection and IP address assignment. Restart the WinCC runtime service. - Touchscreen Calibration Error
- The touch screen input does not correspond correctly to display coordinates, indicating calibration loss.
Run the touch screen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel or Siemens-provided calibration tool. Recalibrate and save settings. - CF Card Read Error
- The system cannot read from the CompactFlash card used for storage or OS booting.
Check the CF card seating in its slot. Replace the CF card if corrupted. Restore the OS image using Siemens recovery tools.

Is this Panel PC compatible with SIMATIC WinCC?
Yes, the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is designed to run SIMATIC WinCC and other PC-based Siemens HMI software, provided the correct software version compatible with the installed operating system is used.
What communication interfaces are available on this unit?
The unit provides at least one Ethernet (RJ45) port, RS-232 serial interface, and USB ports for peripheral connectivity and PLC communication.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify the backlight is functioning by shining a light at the screen to detect a faint image. Inspect internal fuses and power supply board.
Restore correct 24 V DC supply. If the backlight has failed, replace the backlight inverter or display assembly. If no power is reaching the board, inspect and replace the internal power supply module.
Touch screen does not respond or responds inaccurately
Determine whether the issue is a complete lack of response or positional inaccuracy. Check for physical damage to the touch overlay. Verify the touch controller driver is loaded in Device Manager.
If miscalibrated, run the touch screen calibration utility. If the touch overlay is damaged or unresponsive, replace the touch screen assembly. Reinstall touch controller drivers if missing.
System fails to boot or continuously restarts
Observe the boot sequence for BIOS POST errors or Windows startup errors. Check the CompactFlash card for corruption. Verify RAM modules are properly seated.
Reseat RAM and CF card. Restore the OS image using Siemens recovery media. If hardware failure is confirmed (e.g., failed CF card or RAM), replace the defective component.
No communication with PLC via Ethernet
Check the Ethernet cable and switch/hub connectivity. Verify IP address configuration on both the Panel PC and the PLC. Use ping to test network reachability.
Correct IP address settings in Windows Network Connections. Replace faulty Ethernet cable. If the onboard NIC is defective, install a compatible USB-to-Ethernet adapter or replace the motherboard.
WinCC runtime does not start or loses connection to PLC
Check WinCC project configuration for correct PLC driver and connection parameters. Review WinCC diagnostic logs for specific error messages. Verify the PLC is online and reachable.
Correct the communication channel settings in WinCC Explorer. Ensure the correct communication driver (e.g., SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite) is installed and licensed. Restart the WinCC runtime and re-establish the connection.
