Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- Application error – an HMI or SCADA application has crashed or terminated unexpectedly on the Panel PC.
Check Windows Event Viewer for details. Restart the application. Verify software installation integrity and update or reinstall WinCC or the relevant HMI runtime if necessary. - Event ID: 7000
- Service failed to start – a required Windows service or SIMATIC runtime service did not start during boot.
Check the Windows Services manager to identify the failed service. Ensure all SIMATIC software components are correctly installed and licensed. Restart the service manually or reboot the Panel PC. - Communication Error
- Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or automation controller.
Verify Ethernet or serial cable connections. Check IP address configuration and network settings. Confirm the PLC is powered and running. Review WinCC or HMI project communication channel settings. - Watchdog Timeout
- The system watchdog has detected that the operating system or application has stopped responding within the defined time window.
Perform a controlled restart of the Panel PC. Check for resource-intensive background processes. Verify that the operating system and SIMATIC software are up to date with relevant patches. - Hardware Error – HDD/CF
- The internal hard disk drive or CompactFlash storage device has reported an error or is not detected by the system.
Check BIOS settings to confirm the storage device is recognized. Back up data immediately if accessible. Replace the HDD or CompactFlash card with a compatible unit and restore the system image. - Temperature Warning
- The internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Ensure adequate ventilation around the panel cutout. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the 0 °C to 45 °C operating range. Clean any dust from ventilation openings and check cooling components. - Power Supply Fault
- The 24 V DC supply voltage is outside the permissible range, causing the Panel PC to shut down or fail to start.
Measure the supply voltage at the power input connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within the specified tolerance. Check wiring and connections for loose contacts or damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7611-0AF10-0BH0)?
The 6AV7611-0AF10-0BH0 was supplied with Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows XP as the operating system. It is not officially supported for Windows 7 or later without hardware and BIOS verification.
What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

What is the display size and resolution of the 6AV7611-0AF10-0BH0?
This unit features a 12-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and a resistive touchscreen for operator input.
What is the front panel protection rating of this Panel PC?
The front face of the 6AV7611-0AF10-0BH0 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust and low-pressure water jets when correctly installed in a panel cutout.
What communication interfaces are available on this unit?
The Panel PC 670 provides Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and RS-232 serial COM ports as standard interfaces. Additional communication modules can be added via internal expansion slots depending on the configuration.
Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied
Measure the supply voltage directly at the power input connector to confirm it is within the specified 24 V DC tolerance. Check the internal fuse and inspect wiring for open circuits or loose connections.
Replace any blown internal fuse with the correct rated component. Ensure the external power supply is stable and within specification. If the unit still does not power on, the internal power supply board may require replacement.
Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately to touch input
Verify that the touchscreen driver is correctly installed in Windows Device Manager. Check for physical damage or contamination on the screen surface. Attempt a touchscreen recalibration using the Windows control panel or SIMATIC calibration utility.
Recalibrate the touchscreen through the operating system calibration tool. If the issue persists, update or reinstall the touchscreen driver. In cases of hardware failure, the touchscreen overlay or display assembly may need to be replaced.
Display shows no image but the Panel PC appears to be running (LEDs active, HDD activity)
Check the display backlight by observing the screen at an angle with a torch to determine if an image is faintly visible. Inspect the display cable connection between the mainboard and the LCD panel.
If the backlight has failed, replace the CCFL backlight or the complete display assembly. If the display cable is loose or damaged, reseat or replace it. A faint image visible under torch light confirms a backlight failure rather than a graphics fault.
Loss of communication with PLC or network devices
Verify the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector are securely connected. Check the IP address configuration in Windows Network Settings and confirm it matches the network topology. Use the ping command to test connectivity to the PLC or network gateway.
Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfiguration. Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. If the onboard Ethernet adapter is not recognized in Device Manager, reinstall the network adapter driver or consider adding a PCIe/PCI Ethernet expansion card.
System freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation
Check Windows Event Viewer for critical errors or blue screen stop codes logged prior to the freeze. Monitor internal temperature using system diagnostics to rule out thermal shutdown. Inspect the CompactFlash or HDD for errors using disk diagnostic tools.
Ensure the operating environment is within the specified temperature range and that ventilation is adequate. Run a disk check (chkdsk) to repair file system errors. If the storage device is failing, replace it and restore the system image from a backup.
