Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup failure — the Panel PC fails to complete the boot sequence, often due to corrupted OS or failed storage device.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for errors. Attempt OS recovery or reinstall the operating system. - Event ID: 200
- Communication interface error — loss of connection on the Ethernet or serial interface to the PLC or SCADA system.
Verify network cable connections and interface settings. Check IP configuration and ensure the connected controller is online. - Event ID: 300
- Touch screen calibration error — touch input is misaligned or unresponsive.
Perform touch screen recalibration via the Windows control panel or SIMATIC HMI configuration tool. Clean the touch surface and check for damage. - Event ID: 400
- Fan failure or overtemperature warning — internal cooling fan has stopped or ambient temperature exceeds the rated limit.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Ensure ambient temperature is within 0–45 °C. Replace the fan if it has failed. - Event ID: 500
- Hard disk or storage device error — read/write failure detected on the internal storage medium.
Back up data immediately if possible. Run disk diagnostics and replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card as required. - Event ID: 600
- Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the minimum operating threshold.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the power source maintains a stable 24 V DC within specified tolerances. - Event ID: 700
- WinCC Runtime connection lost — the HMI application has lost communication with the configured data source or PLC tag server.
Check PLC program status and communication settings in WinCC. Restart the WinCC Runtime application and verify tag connections.

What communication interfaces are available on this Panel PC?
The unit provides Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and RS-232 serial interfaces, enabling connectivity to PLCs, network infrastructure, and peripheral devices.
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 internal storage device (hard disk or CompactFlash) is properly seated and recognized in BIOS.
Reseat the storage device and power connectors. If the storage medium is faulty, replace it and reinstall the operating system and HMI application software.
Touch screen input is inaccurate or unresponsive
Determine whether the issue is hardware (damaged touch surface or controller) or software (miscalibration). Test touch response in the Windows environment outside of the HMI application.
Recalibrate the touch screen using the Windows control panel calibration utility. If the touch surface is physically damaged or the touch controller has failed, the touch panel assembly must be replaced.
Loss of communication between Panel PC and PLC
Check Ethernet cable integrity and verify the IP address configuration on both the Panel PC and the PLC. Confirm that the WinCC communication driver is running and correctly configured.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Correct any IP address conflicts or subnet mismatches. Restart the WinCC Runtime and re-establish the communication channel.
Overtemperature warning or system shutdown due to heat
Check the ambient temperature around the Panel PC enclosure and inspect the cooling fan for blockage or failure. Verify that ventilation clearances around the unit are maintained.
Clean dust from the fan and ventilation slots. Ensure ambient temperature does not exceed 45 °C. Replace the cooling fan if it is not operating correctly.
HMI application crashes or freezes during operation
Check available RAM and storage space on the system. Review Windows Event Viewer logs for application errors or memory faults. Determine if the issue is reproducible under specific conditions.
Free up disk space and close unnecessary background applications. Update or reinstall the WinCC Runtime software. If hardware memory is faulty, replace the RAM module.
