Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- Application error – an application process has terminated unexpectedly under the Windows operating system.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details. Restart the application or reinstall the HMI runtime software (e.g., WinCC flexible Runtime). - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected system shutdown – the operating system was not shut down cleanly on the previous boot.
Investigate potential power supply interruptions. Ensure the 24 V DC supply is stable and within specification. Check UPS if installed. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware component not detected during Power-On Self-Test, such as missing RAM or storage device.
Reseat memory modules and CompactFlash/hard disk connections. Verify hardware integrity and replace faulty components as needed. - WinCC Runtime Error
- WinCC or WinCC flexible Runtime fails to start or crashes, often due to corrupted project files or license issues.
Verify the WinCC license dongle or software license is present and valid. Restore the project from backup and reinstall runtime if necessary. - Network Communication Error
- Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the PLC or network devices.
Check Ethernet cable connections and network switch status. Verify IP address configuration and firewall settings. Confirm PLC is online and reachable. - Storage Device Error
- Operating system fails to boot or reports disk read errors, indicating CompactFlash card or hard disk failure.
Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive. Restore the OS image and HMI project from a backup image. - Touchscreen Calibration Error
- Touch input is misaligned or unresponsive, indicating calibration drift or touchscreen controller fault.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows control panel. If misalignment persists, check the touchscreen controller connection or replace the touch overlay.

Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not power on after applying 24 V DC supply
Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector to confirm it is within the specified tolerance. Check internal fuses if accessible.
Ensure the power supply output is stable at 24 V DC and can deliver sufficient current. Replace any blown internal fuses. If the power supply board is faulty, replace or repair the internal DC/DC converter module.
Display remains blank or shows no image after power on
Verify that the unit completes its POST sequence by listening for boot activity. Check the backlight inverter and display cable connections internally.
Replace the CCFL backlight or inverter board if the backlight has failed. Reseat the display ribbon cable. If the display panel itself is damaged, replace the TFT display assembly.
Touch screen input is unresponsive or inaccurate
Attempt to recalibrate the touch screen using the Windows calibration utility. Check Device Manager for touchscreen controller driver errors.
Recalibrate the touch screen via the control panel. Reinstall or update the touchscreen driver. If the touch overlay is physically damaged or the controller is faulty, replace the touch screen assembly.
Operating system fails to boot or enters a boot loop
Check whether the CompactFlash card or hard disk is detected in the BIOS. Listen for disk activity during startup and check BIOS boot device settings.
Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive with a new unit and restore the OS image from a backup. Ensure the replacement storage device is correctly seated and recognized by the BIOS.
Loss of communication with PLC or SCADA system
Verify the Ethernet link LED is active on the RJ45 port. Ping the PLC IP address from the Panel PC command prompt to check network connectivity.
Replace or reseat the Ethernet cable. Verify IP address, subnet mask, and gateway configuration on the Panel PC. Check the network switch port. If the onboard Ethernet controller is faulty, replace the network interface card or mainboard.
