Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to load correctly during boot.
Check hard disk or Compact Flash card integrity. Reinstall or restore the operating system image using the Siemens recovery partition or restore medium. - Event ID: 200
- Hardware watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has triggered due to an application or OS hang.
Restart the Panel PC. Check for software conflicts or runaway processes. Update or reinstall the HMI application software. - Event ID: 300
- Fan failure detected — the internal cooling fan has stopped or is operating below the required speed.
Inspect and clean the fan. Replace the fan unit if it is defective to prevent thermal shutdown. - Event ID: 400
- Temperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded the defined threshold.
Check ambient temperature and ensure adequate ventilation around the panel. Clean air filters and verify fan operation. - Event ID: 500
- Battery low — the CMOS/RTC backup battery voltage is below the minimum level.
Replace the internal CMOS battery (typically CR2032 or equivalent). After replacement, reconfigure BIOS settings and system time. - Event ID: 600
- Communication error — loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or network device.
Check Ethernet or serial cable connections. Verify IP address configuration and network settings. Restart the HMI application and confirm PLC is online. - Event ID: 700
- Storage device error — read/write error on the hard disk or Compact Flash storage medium.
Run a disk check utility. Back up data and replace the storage medium if errors persist. Restore the OS and application image.
Frequently Asked Questions
What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7611-0AF10-0AE0)?
The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 supports Microsoft Windows operating systems, including Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, depending on the configuration. It is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and WinCC flexible HMI software.
What is the display size and resolution of this Panel PC?
The 6AV7611-0AF10-0AE0 features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA). The display supports resistive touch input for operator interaction.
What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7611-0AF10-0AE0?
This Panel PC operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens industrial panel PCs and compatible with typical control cabinet power supplies.
What communication interfaces are available on this unit?
The unit provides Ethernet (RJ45), RS-232 serial, and USB interfaces, enabling connectivity to PLCs, plant networks, and peripheral devices such as printers and barcode scanners.
Is the front panel of this Panel PC rated for wash-down or dusty environments?
Yes, the front panel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for environments with dust and water spray, though the rear of the unit is not sealed to the same degree.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify that the power LED indicator is illuminated. Measure voltage at the internal power supply output rails.
Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within tolerance. If the supply is correct but the display remains blank, the internal power supply board or the display backlight inverter may be faulty and should be replaced.
Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate
Check if the touch controller is recognized in the Windows Device Manager. Attempt to recalibrate the touchscreen using the Siemens or Windows calibration utility.
Recalibrate the touchscreen through the control panel. If the issue persists, check the touch controller ribbon cable connection internally. Replace the touchscreen assembly if the controller is defective.
Panel PC fails to boot or continuously restarts
Attempt to boot into BIOS setup to verify hardware detection. Check if the hard disk or Compact Flash card is detected. Listen for POST beep codes that may indicate a hardware fault.
Replace the storage medium and restore the OS image using the Siemens recovery tool. If the unit still fails to boot, the motherboard or RAM module may be faulty and require replacement.
Loss of communication with PLC or SCADA system
Verify the Ethernet cable connection and check the link LED on the RJ45 port. Confirm the IP address settings in Windows and the HMI application configuration match the network setup.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP address settings if incorrect. Restart the HMI application and the PLC. If the network adapter is not detected, the onboard NIC may require replacement.
System time resets to default after power cycle
This indicates the CMOS backup battery is depleted. Enter BIOS setup after power-on to confirm the time and date are lost.
Replace the internal CMOS battery with the correct type (typically CR2032). After replacement, set the correct time and date in BIOS and save settings before booting into Windows.
