Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST sequence.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify BIOS settings and reseat storage media. Replace storage device if faulty.
Event ID: 200: Watchdog timeout triggered due to application or OS hang.
Restart the Panel PC. Check for software conflicts or resource overloads. Update or reinstall the HMI application software.
Event ID: 300: Fan failure or thermal warning detected. Internal temperature exceeding threshold.
Check and clean cooling fan and ventilation slots. Ensure ambient temperature is within specification. Replace fan if defective.
Event ID: 400: Communication interface error on Ethernet or serial port.
Check cable connections and network configuration. Verify IP address settings and communication parameters in WinCC or the HMI project.
Event ID: 500: Touch screen calibration error or touch input not responding correctly.
Recalibrate the touch screen via the operating system control panel. Clean the touch surface. Replace touch screen controller if calibration fails repeatedly.
Event ID: 600: Power supply voltage out of range. Input voltage below or above 24 V DC nominal.
Measure supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure power supply output is within 20.4 V DC to 28.8 V DC. Replace or adjust the external power supply.
Event ID: 700: Storage media error or file system corruption detected.
Run a file system check (chkdsk) on the storage device. Back up data and reformat or replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk as required.

Can the storage media in this Panel PC be replaced or upgraded?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 typically uses a CompactFlash card or industrial hard disk for storage, both of which can be replaced. It is recommended to use Siemens-approved storage media to ensure compatibility and reliability.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check that 24 V DC supply voltage is present at the power connector. Verify the power LED status. Measure voltage at the internal power supply output.

Ensure the external power supply is functioning and within voltage range. If the backlight has failed, replace the backlight inverter or LCD panel. If the unit does not boot, check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for corruption.

Touch screen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Attempt to operate the unit using a USB mouse to determine if the issue is isolated to the touch screen. Check Device Manager for touch controller errors.

Recalibrate the touch screen through the Windows control panel. Clean the screen surface with a soft cloth. If the problem persists, replace the touch screen overlay or touch controller board.

Unit fails to boot or continuously restarts

Observe the boot sequence for error messages. Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk connection and integrity. Verify BIOS settings are correct.

Reseat the storage media. Run a file system check or restore the OS image from a backup. Replace the storage device if it is found to be faulty.

Ethernet communication not working

Check the Ethernet cable and switch port. Verify the IP address configuration in Windows network settings. Ping the device from a known-good PC on the same network.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP address and subnet mask. If the network adapter is not detected, update or reinstall the network driver or replace the Ethernet interface card.

Panel PC overheating or shutting down unexpectedly

Check the ambient temperature around the unit. Inspect the cooling fan for operation and the ventilation slots for blockages. Monitor CPU temperature via BIOS or system tools.

Clean dust from ventilation slots and the cooling fan. Ensure the installation environment is within the specified operating temperature range of 0 °C to +45 °C. Replace the cooling fan if it is not operating correctly.
