Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup failure — the Panel PC fails to complete the boot sequence, often due to a corrupted OS or failed storage device.
Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors. Restore or reinstall the operating system image using the Siemens recovery media.
Event ID: 101: Watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has triggered due to an application hang or OS freeze.
Restart the Panel PC. Investigate the running HMI application for memory leaks or infinite loops. Update or reinstall the WinCC Runtime software.
Event ID: 200: Communication error on MPI/PROFIBUS interface — loss of communication with the connected S7 PLC.
Check MPI/PROFIBUS cable connections and termination resistors. Verify bus address settings and baud rate configuration in the HMI project.
Event ID: 201: Ethernet communication failure — the Panel PC cannot establish or maintain a network connection.
Inspect the Ethernet cable and switch port. Verify IP address configuration. Check for IP address conflicts on the network.
Event ID: 300: Touchscreen calibration error — touch input is misaligned or unresponsive.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel or the Siemens-provided calibration tool. Clean the touch surface and check for physical damage.
Event ID: 400: Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the minimum operating threshold.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within the specified tolerance range.
Event ID: 500: Storage device error — the CompactFlash card or hard disk is not detected or has reported read/write errors.
Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk with a compatible unit. Restore the OS and HMI application from backup media.
Event ID: 600: Fan failure or overtemperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded safe operating limits or the cooling fan has stopped.
Check that ventilation slots are unobstructed. Inspect and replace the internal cooling fan if faulty. Verify ambient temperature is within the 0–50 °C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7611-0AF20-0BJ0)?

The Panel PC 670 supports Windows XP Embedded and Windows 2000, depending on the specific configuration ordered. It is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and other Windows-based HMI software.

What is the display size and resolution of the 6AV7611-0AF20-0BJ0?

This unit features a 12-inch TFT color LCD with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and a resistive touchscreen interface.

What communication interfaces are available on this Panel PC?

The 6AV7611-0AF20-0BJ0 provides Ethernet (RJ45), RS-232 serial, and MPI/PROFIBUS interfaces, enabling integration with Siemens S7 PLCs and standard network infrastructure.

What is the supply voltage for the SIMATIC Panel PC 670?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens industrial panel PCs in this series.

Is the front panel of the 6AV7611-0AF20-0BJ0 rated for wash-down or dusty environments?

The front panel carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for use in industrial environments with moderate contamination.

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 24 V DC is present and within tolerance. Check for a blown internal fuse.

Ensure the power supply is stable and within the 24 V DC specification. Replace any blown internal fuse with the correct rating. If the unit still does not power on, the internal power supply board may require repair or replacement.

Display remains blank or shows no image after power on

Verify that the unit completes its POST sequence by listening for boot sounds or checking for HDD/CF activity. Check the backlight inverter by observing whether a faint image is visible under bright light.

If the backlight has failed, replace the CCFL backlight or inverter board. If the display panel itself is faulty, replace the TFT display assembly. If the unit boots but shows no image, check display cable connections internally.

Touchscreen input is inaccurate or unresponsive

Determine whether the issue is a calibration problem or a hardware failure by attempting to recalibrate the touchscreen through the Windows Control Panel. Inspect the touch surface for damage or contamination.

Run the Siemens or Windows touchscreen calibration utility. Clean the screen surface with a soft cloth. If calibration does not resolve the issue, the resistive touch overlay may need replacement.

Loss of communication with S7 PLC via MPI/PROFIBUS

Check the physical MPI/PROFIBUS cable for continuity and correct termination at both ends of the bus. Verify the bus address and baud rate settings in the HMI project configuration match the PLC settings.

Replace or reseat the MPI/PROFIBUS cable. Correct any address conflicts or baud rate mismatches in the WinCC project. If the MPI/PROFIBUS interface card is suspected faulty, test with a known-good unit.

Panel PC freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation

Check the Windows Event Viewer for critical errors or application crashes. Monitor the internal temperature to rule out overheating. Inspect the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors using disk diagnostic tools.

Clean ventilation slots and replace the cooling fan if faulty. Run a disk check and replace the storage medium if errors are found. Reinstall or update the WinCC Runtime application if software instability is the cause.
