Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to a corrupted system partition or failed storage device.
Check the CompactFlash card and hard disk drive for errors. Attempt to restore the system image using the recovery partition or a backup image. - Event ID: 1001
- Application crash — a running HMI or SCADA application (e.g. WinCC) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for application error details. Reinstall or repair the affected software. Check for memory or hardware faults. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware self-test failure during power-on — a hardware component such as RAM or the processor is not detected correctly.
Reseat internal memory modules and check all internal connections. If the fault persists, the mainboard or memory module may require replacement. - WinCC Runtime Error
- SIMATIC WinCC runtime cannot start or loses connection to the configured data source or PLC.
Verify the Ethernet connection and PLC communication settings. Check the WinCC project configuration and ensure the correct communication driver is installed. - Hard Disk Failure
- The internal hard disk drive is not detected or reports read/write errors, which may cause system instability or failure to boot.
Replace the internal hard disk drive with a compatible unit. Restore the system image from a backup or recovery media. - Touchscreen Not Responding
- The resistive touchscreen does not register input or is significantly miscalibrated.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows control panel touchscreen calibration utility. If calibration fails, check the touchscreen controller connection or replace the touchscreen assembly. - Fan Failure Warning
- The system cooling fan has stopped or is running below the minimum required speed, risking thermal shutdown.
Clean the fan and ventilation openings of dust and debris. Replace the cooling fan if it does not resume normal operation.
Frequently Asked Questions

The front panel of this unit carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and water jets, suitable for industrial panel-mount installations.
Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied
Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector to confirm correct voltage level. Check the internal fuse on the power supply board.
Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the supply voltage is correct and the fuse is intact, the internal power supply module may have failed and should be replaced.
Display is blank but the system appears to be running (fan spinning, HDD activity)
Check the display backlight by shining an external light source at the screen to determine if an image is faintly visible. Verify the display cable connection between the mainboard and the LCD panel.
Replace the CCFL backlight or inverter board if the image is visible but very dim. If no image is present at all, reseat the display cable or replace the LCD panel assembly.
Touchscreen input is inaccurate or non-functional
Attempt touchscreen recalibration through the Windows control panel. Check the USB or serial connection of the touchscreen controller to the mainboard.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the system calibration utility. If the problem persists, replace the touchscreen controller board or the resistive touch overlay.
System fails to boot and displays a BIOS error or stops at POST
Observe the BIOS POST error message on screen. Check whether the hard disk drive or CompactFlash card is detected in the BIOS setup menu.
Reseat or replace the hard disk drive or CompactFlash card. If the mainboard RAM is not detected, reseat the memory modules. Restore the system image from recovery media if the storage device is functional.
WinCC or HMI application loses communication with the PLC intermittently
Check the Ethernet cable and switch/hub connection. Verify the IP address configuration of the Panel PC and the connected PLC. Review the WinCC diagnostic logs for communication timeout errors.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Ensure the IP address and subnet mask are correctly configured. Update or reinstall the WinCC communication driver if communication errors persist.
