Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup failure — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to corrupted system files or failed storage media.
Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors. Attempt a system restore or reinstall the operating system image. - Event ID: 1000
- Application error — a running application (e.g. WinCC Runtime) has crashed or encountered an unhandled exception.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for details. Restart the application. If recurring, reinstall the software or check for memory faults. - Event ID: 7026
- Boot-start or system-start driver failed to load, indicating a driver compatibility or corruption issue.
Boot into safe mode and review device manager for driver conflicts. Reinstall or update the relevant driver. - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected system shutdown — the previous system shutdown was unexpected, often caused by power loss or hardware fault.
Check the 24 V DC power supply for stability. Inspect UPS or power conditioning equipment. Review hardware for overheating. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware self-test failure during power-on — a hardware component such as RAM or CPU is not detected correctly.
Reseat RAM modules and check all internal connectors. If fault persists, replace the defective hardware component. - Watchdog Timeout
- The system watchdog timer has triggered a reset because the operating system or application became unresponsive.
Investigate CPU load and running processes. Check for software loops or memory leaks in the HMI application. Adjust watchdog timeout settings if appropriate. - Temperature Warning
- Internal system temperature has exceeded the defined threshold, risking hardware damage or instability.
Check ambient temperature and ensure adequate ventilation around the panel. Clean air filters and verify cooling fan operation. - Hard Disk Failure
- The internal hard disk or CompactFlash storage has reported errors or is no longer accessible.
Replace the storage medium with a compatible unit. Restore the system image from backup. Consider switching to a solid-state storage solution.

Can the storage medium be replaced or upgraded?
Yes, the Panel PC 670 supports CompactFlash cards or an internal hard disk drive as storage media, both of which can be replaced or upgraded by a qualified technician.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power is applied
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.
Ensure the 24 V DC supply is stable and within tolerance. If the internal power supply has failed, replace the power supply module. If the display backlight has failed, replace the backlight inverter or the display unit.
Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately
Check if the touch controller is recognized in Windows Device Manager. Attempt to recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility.
Recalibrate the resistive touchscreen via the control panel. If the touchscreen remains unresponsive, check the internal ribbon cable connection between the touch panel and the controller board. Replace the touch overlay if physically damaged.
System fails to boot and displays a BIOS error or black screen
Attempt to enter BIOS setup during POST to determine if the CPU and RAM are detected. Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for physical damage or loose connections.
Reseat the storage medium and RAM modules. If the storage medium is corrupted, restore the factory system image. If the BIOS battery is depleted, replace the CMOS battery to restore BIOS settings.
Ethernet communication is not established with the PLC or network
Check the Ethernet cable and switch port. Verify the IP address configuration in Windows Network Settings. Use the ping command to test connectivity.
Reconfigure the IP address and subnet mask to match the network topology. Replace the Ethernet cable if faulty. If the onboard NIC is defective, consider using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter as a temporary measure or replace the motherboard.
Panel PC overheats and shuts down unexpectedly
Check the ambient temperature around the panel installation. Inspect the ventilation slots for blockages. Verify that the CPU cooling fan is operating.
Ensure the installation environment does not exceed 45 degrees C. Clean dust from ventilation openings and internal fan assemblies. Replace the CPU fan if it has failed. Verify that the panel cutout provides adequate clearance for airflow.
