Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST sequence.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card for integrity. Verify BIOS settings and reseat storage media. Replace storage device if corrupted. - Event ID: 200
- Watchdog timeout triggered — application software stopped responding within the defined monitoring interval.
Restart the application software. Check for software deadlocks or resource conflicts. Update or reinstall the HMI/SCADA application if the issue persists. - Event ID: 300
- Fan failure or thermal warning — internal cooling fan has stopped or CPU temperature has exceeded threshold.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Replace the fan if defective. Ensure adequate ventilation around the panel PC enclosure. - Event ID: 400
- Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the permissible operating range.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within tolerance. Check wiring and connections for voltage drop. - Event ID: 500
- Hard disk or storage media error — read/write failure detected on the internal storage device.
Run a disk check utility. Back up data immediately. Replace the hard disk drive or CompactFlash card as required. - Event ID: 600
- Network communication error — Ethernet interface cannot establish or maintain connection to the network.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Verify IP address configuration and network settings within the operating system. Replace Ethernet cable if faulty. - Event ID: 700
- USB device error — a connected USB peripheral is not recognized or has caused a system fault.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB device. Try an alternative USB port. Verify driver compatibility with the installed operating system version. - Event ID: 800
- Battery low warning — the CMOS/RTC backup battery voltage is below the minimum threshold, risking loss of BIOS settings and real-time clock data.
Replace the internal CMOS backup battery with the correct type as specified in the Siemens SIMATIC Panel PC 670 hardware manual. Reset BIOS settings after replacement.

Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not boot and display remains blank after power on
Check that 24 V DC supply voltage is present at the power connector using a multimeter. Verify that the power LED indicator is illuminated. Inspect the CompactFlash card or hard disk for proper seating.
Reseat the storage media and reconnect the power supply. If the supply voltage is correct but the unit still does not boot, the internal power supply board or the storage device may need replacement.
Touchscreen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions
Check whether the touchscreen is physically damaged or contaminated. Verify that the touchscreen calibration has not been corrupted within the operating system.
Clean the touchscreen surface with a soft, dry cloth. Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration utility in the Windows control panel. If the issue persists, the resistive touch overlay may require replacement.
Unit overheats and shuts down unexpectedly
Inspect the cooling fan for operation and check that ventilation slots are not blocked. Measure the ambient temperature around the enclosure to confirm it is within the 0 to 50 °C operating range.
Clean dust from ventilation openings and the fan assembly. Replace the cooling fan if it is not spinning. Ensure the installation environment provides adequate airflow and does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature.
Ethernet communication to PLC or network is lost intermittently
Check the Ethernet cable for damage and verify the connection at both the panel PC and the switch or PLC port. Review the network configuration settings in the operating system for correct IP address and subnet mask.
Replace the Ethernet cable with a known-good cable. Verify network settings and reconfigure if necessary. If the problem persists, test with a USB-to-Ethernet adapter to determine whether the onboard Ethernet port is faulty.
BIOS settings and real-time clock reset after power off
This symptom indicates that the internal CMOS backup battery has discharged below its minimum voltage threshold and can no longer retain settings when main power is removed.
Replace the internal CMOS battery with the correct replacement type as specified in the Siemens SIMATIC Panel PC 670 hardware manual. Re-enter BIOS settings and synchronize the real-time clock after battery replacement.
