Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify OS installation and boot configuration. Replace storage medium if faulty.
Event ID: 1000: Application error — a running HMI or SCADA application has crashed or terminated unexpectedly.
Review Windows Event Viewer for application error details. Reinstall or update the affected software. Check for memory or hardware conflicts.
Event ID: 7026: A boot-start or system-start driver failed to load during Windows startup.
Check Device Manager for driver conflicts. Reinstall or update the relevant hardware driver. Verify hardware connections.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and connected PLC or automation controller.
Check Ethernet cable connections and network configuration. Verify IP address settings and PLC communication parameters in WinCC or the HMI project.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has triggered due to an application or OS hang.
Restart the Panel PC. Investigate the application causing the hang. Check CPU load and memory usage. Update or reinstall the HMI application if the issue persists.
Temperature Warning: Internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the warning threshold.
Check ambient temperature and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Clean any air vents or filters. Verify the cooling system is functioning correctly.
Hard Disk / Storage Fault: The internal hard disk or CompactFlash storage device has reported an error or is not detected.
Check storage device connections. Run a disk diagnostic. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card if errors are confirmed. Restore OS and application from backup.
Power Supply Fault: The 24 V DC supply voltage is out of tolerance or has dropped below the minimum operating level.
Measure the 24 V DC supply at the power input connector. Ensure the power supply unit is rated for the Panel PC load. Replace the power supply if voltage is out of specification.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Verify that the power LED or status indicator is active. Measure voltage at the internal power supply board.

Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within specification. If the supply is correct but the display remains blank, the internal power supply module or the backlight inverter may be faulty and should be replaced.

Touch screen does not respond or is inaccurate

Check if the touch screen is enabled in the operating system Device Manager. Verify that the touch controller driver is correctly installed. Test with a known-good stylus or finger.

Recalibrate the touch screen using the Windows calibration utility. If calibration does not resolve the issue, reinstall the touch screen driver. If the hardware is unresponsive, the touch screen overlay or controller board may require replacement.

Panel PC fails to boot or repeatedly restarts

Observe the boot sequence for POST error messages. Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for errors using a diagnostic tool. Verify that the OS installation is intact.

Replace the storage medium (hard disk or CompactFlash card) if errors are detected. Restore the operating system and HMI application from a backup image. Check RAM modules for faults if the issue persists.

Loss of communication with PLC or network devices

Verify Ethernet cable connections and check the network switch or hub. Confirm the IP address configuration on the Panel PC matches the network settings. Check the WinCC or HMI project communication parameters.

Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfiguration. Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Update the network adapter driver if the interface is not detected. Reconfigure the PLC communication channel in the HMI project if necessary.

Panel PC overheating or thermal shutdown

Check the ambient temperature around the installation. Inspect ventilation openings for blockages or dust accumulation. Monitor internal temperature via the BIOS or system monitoring software.

Clean all ventilation openings and ensure adequate clearance around the unit as specified in the installation guidelines. Reduce ambient temperature if it exceeds 50 °C. If the unit continues to overheat, inspect the internal cooling components and replace any faulty thermal management parts.
