Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify BIOS settings and reseat storage media. Replace storage device if faulty.
Event ID: 200: Watchdog timeout — the application software has stopped responding within the defined watchdog interval.
Restart the application software. Check for software deadlocks or resource conflicts. Update or reinstall the HMI runtime software if the issue persists.
Event ID: 300: Fan failure or thermal warning — internal cooling fan has stopped or CPU temperature has exceeded threshold.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Replace the fan if it is not operating. Ensure ambient temperature is within the specified operating range.
Event ID: 400: Communication loss to PLC — the Panel PC has lost its configured connection to the SIMATIC S7 controller.
Check Ethernet or MPI/PROFIBUS cabling and connectors. Verify PLC is powered and running. Check IP address configuration and WinCC connection settings.
Event ID: 500: Hard disk or storage media error — read/write error detected on the internal storage device.
Run a disk check utility. Back up data immediately. Replace the hard disk drive or CompactFlash card as required.
Event ID: 600: Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the permissible operating threshold.
Measure the supply voltage at the power input connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within tolerance. Replace the power supply if necessary.
Event ID: 700: Touch screen calibration error — the touchscreen is not responding correctly or calibration data is invalid.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows control panel or SIMATIC calibration utility. If the issue persists, inspect the touchscreen controller hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7612-0AA10-0AH0) support?

Can the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 communicate directly with SIMATIC S7 PLCs?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 supports Ethernet-based communication with SIMATIC S7 PLCs using standard protocols. Additional communication cards for MPI or PROFIBUS can be installed depending on the configuration.

What display size does the 6AV7612-0AA10-0AH0 have?

This unit is equipped with a 12.1-inch TFT color LCD display with a resistive touchscreen for operator input.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the input connector with a multimeter. Check internal fuses and inspect the power supply board for visible damage.

Ensure the supply voltage is within the specified range. Replace any blown internal fuses. If the internal power supply module is faulty, replace it with the correct Siemens spare part.

Display is blank but the unit appears to be running (fans audible)

Check the display backlight by shining an external light on the screen to see if an image is faintly visible. Inspect the display cable connections internally.

Replace the CCFL backlight or the inverter board if the backlight has failed. If the display cable is loose or damaged, reseat or replace it. In some cases, the TFT display panel itself may require replacement.

Touchscreen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions

Attempt to recalibrate the touchscreen via the Windows control panel. Check for physical damage to the screen surface or contamination affecting touch response.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the SIMATIC calibration tool or Windows Pointer Device settings. Clean the screen surface. If calibration fails repeatedly, replace the touchscreen overlay or the touch controller board.

Loss of communication with SIMATIC S7 PLC

Verify the Ethernet cable connection between the Panel PC and the PLC or network switch. Check the IP address configuration in WinCC and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.

Replace or reseat the Ethernet cable. Reconfigure the IP address settings if they have been lost. Restart the WinCC runtime application. If the Ethernet port is faulty, replace the network interface card.

Unit reboots unexpectedly or freezes during operation

Check the operating temperature of the unit and inspect the cooling fan for proper operation. Review the Windows event log for software errors or hardware conflicts.

Clean the cooling fan and vents to restore proper airflow. Ensure ambient temperature is within the 0 to 45 degrees C operating range. Reinstall or update the HMI runtime software if software corruption is suspected. Replace the fan if it is not functioning correctly.
