€ 1.770,00
The Siemens 6AV7611-0AE30-0CJ0 is a Mobile Panel 170, part of the SIMATIC HMI Mobile Panel family from Siemens. This handheld operator panel is designed for flexible, mobile human-machine interface applications where the operator needs to move freely around a machine or plant area. It provides a portable touch-based interface for monitoring and controlling industrial automation systems.
The Mobile Panel 170 features a 5.7-inch STN color display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA), offering clear visualization of process data and graphics. It is equipped with a membrane keypad with function keys, an enabling button (three-position), and an emergency stop button for safety-critical operations. The panel connects to the control system via a coiled cable with an industrial connector, supporting MPI and PROFIBUS DP communication interfaces. It runs on the WinCC flexible runtime environment and offers 512 KB of user memory for project data.
The Mobile Panel 170 is widely used in manufacturing, automotive, and machine tool industries where operators need to perform setup, commissioning, or maintenance tasks while moving around large machines or production lines. Its integrated enabling button and emergency stop make it suitable for safety-relevant applications in accordance with machinery safety standards. The rugged, handheld design allows use in demanding industrial environments where fixed HMI panels are impractical.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 10000
- Communication error between the Mobile Panel and the connected PLC or controller. The panel cannot establish or maintain a connection.
Check the cable connection and connector integrity. Verify MPI or PROFIBUS DP address settings on both the panel and the PLC. Ensure the baud rate is correctly configured. - Event ID: 10001
- Project download error. The project could not be transferred to the panel successfully.
Check the transfer cable and PC interface settings. Ensure WinCC flexible is configured for the correct communication channel and that the panel is in transfer mode. - Event ID: 20000
- Tag read error. A configured tag could not be read from the PLC.
Verify the PLC address and tag address in the WinCC flexible project. Confirm the PLC program is running and the data block or address exists. - Event ID: 20001
- Tag write error. A value could not be written to the PLC tag.
Check that the PLC tag address is correct and that the address is not write-protected. Verify communication link integrity. - Event ID: 40000
- System memory low. Available runtime memory on the panel is insufficient.
Reduce the complexity of the HMI project, remove unused screens or objects, and reload the project. Consider optimizing graphic objects and tag counts. - Event ID: 50000
- Enabling button not actuated. The three-position enabling button is not held in the enabled position during a safety-relevant operation.
Ensure the operator holds the enabling button in the middle (enabled) position. Check the enabling button switch mechanism for mechanical wear or failure. - Event ID: 60000
- Emergency stop activated. The integrated emergency stop button on the Mobile Panel has been pressed.
Identify and resolve the cause of the emergency stop activation. Reset the emergency stop button by twisting or pulling as per the panel design, then acknowledge the fault in the control system before resuming operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What communication interfaces does the Mobile Panel 170 (6AV7611-0AE30-0CJ0) support?
The Mobile Panel 170 supports MPI and PROFIBUS DP communication interfaces, allowing it to connect to Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs as well as other PROFIBUS-compatible controllers.
Does the Mobile Panel 170 have an integrated safety enabling button?
Yes, the panel includes a three-position enabling button that must be held in the middle position to allow motion or safety-relevant commands, in accordance with machinery safety requirements. It also features an integrated emergency stop button.
What software is used to create projects for the Mobile Panel 170?
Projects for the Mobile Panel 170 are created using Siemens WinCC flexible software. The project is then downloaded to the panel via the coiled connection cable or a dedicated PC adapter.
What is the display size and resolution of the 6AV7611-0AE30-0CJ0?
The display is a 5.7-inch STN color screen with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA) and supports up to 256 colors.
What is the operating voltage of the Mobile Panel 170?
The Mobile Panel 170 operates on 24 V DC, supplied through the coiled connection cable from the connection box or junction box.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check that the 24 V DC supply is present at the connection cable and junction box. Measure voltage at the panel connector. Inspect the coiled cable for damage or broken conductors.
Replace the coiled connection cable if damaged. Verify the junction box is powered and the supply voltage is within the 24 V DC tolerance range. If the supply is correct and the display remains blank, the panel's internal power supply or display may require repair or replacement.
Communication error displayed on panel, no connection to PLC
Verify the MPI or PROFIBUS DP address configured on the panel matches the network configuration. Check the cable and connector for physical damage. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and the network is active.
Correct the MPI or PROFIBUS DP address in the panel settings. Replace the coiled cable or connector if damaged. Ensure the baud rate on the panel matches the network baud rate. Re-download the project if configuration changes are made.
Enabling button does not allow motion commands
Test the three-position enabling button by pressing it to the middle position and observing whether the panel acknowledges the enabled state. Check for mechanical wear or sticking of the button mechanism.
If the enabling button is mechanically worn or faulty, the Mobile Panel requires repair or replacement of the enabling switch assembly. Do not bypass the enabling button, as it is a safety-critical component.
Project cannot be downloaded to the panel
Confirm the panel is set to transfer mode. Check the PC adapter and cable connection between the programming PC and the panel or junction box. Verify WinCC flexible project settings match the panel type and firmware version.
Set the panel to transfer mode via the Start Center menu. Use the correct PC adapter (MPI or PROFIBUS). Ensure the WinCC flexible version is compatible with the panel firmware. Update panel firmware if necessary before re-attempting the download.
Emergency stop button cannot be reset
Inspect the emergency stop button for correct mechanical reset (twist-to-release or pull-to-release depending on variant). Check the control system for any latched fault that requires acknowledgment.
Physically reset the emergency stop button by rotating or pulling the button head as designed. Acknowledge the emergency stop fault in the PLC or safety controller. If the button does not mechanically reset, the button assembly may need replacement.
