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, indicating the application or OS has become unresponsive.
Restart the Panel PC. Investigate the running application for memory leaks or infinite loops. Update or reinstall the HMI software if the issue persists.
Event ID: 300: Ethernet communication link failure or network interface not detected.
Check Ethernet cable connection and network switch. Verify IP address configuration in Windows network settings. Replace cable or network interface if hardware fault is confirmed.
Event ID: 400: Touchscreen input not responding or calibration lost.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows control panel calibration utility. If unresponsive, check touchscreen controller connection internally or replace the touchscreen assembly.
Event ID: 500: Power supply undervoltage detected; supply voltage dropped below operational threshold.
Measure the 24 V DC supply at the input connector. Ensure the power supply unit can deliver sufficient current. Replace or upgrade the power supply if voltage is out of tolerance.
Event ID: 600: Fan failure or thermal overtemperature warning triggered.
Check that ventilation slots are not blocked. Verify ambient temperature is within specification. Inspect and replace the cooling fan if defective.
Event ID: 700: Hard disk or CompactFlash storage device read/write error.
Run a disk diagnostic utility. Back up data immediately. Replace the storage device and restore the operating system and application software from backup media.
Event ID: 800: Serial communication port error or interface conflict detected.
Check COM port settings in Device Manager. Verify baud rate, parity, and stop bit configuration match the connected device. Reseat or replace the serial interface cable.

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 for blown internal fuses and inspect the power input wiring for loose connections.

Ensure the power supply delivers stable 24 V DC within tolerance. Replace any blown fuses with the correct rating. If the internal power supply board is faulty, replace or repair the power supply module.

Display is blank or backlight does not illuminate

Verify that the unit is powered and the OS is booting by listening for disk activity. Check display brightness settings in the BIOS or Windows display properties. Inspect the backlight inverter connection.

Adjust brightness settings if software-controlled. Replace the CCFL backlight or inverter board if the backlight has failed. If the TFT panel itself is damaged, replace the display assembly.

Touchscreen is unresponsive or registers incorrect touch positions

Attempt to recalibrate the touchscreen via the Windows Control Panel. Check the touchscreen controller cable connection on the motherboard. Verify that no touchscreen driver errors appear in Device Manager.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the built-in calibration tool. Reinstall touchscreen drivers if corrupted. Replace the touchscreen digitizer assembly if hardware damage is confirmed.

Panel PC fails to boot and shows a disk error or stops at POST

Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive for physical damage or loose seating. Attempt to boot from an external device to isolate the storage fault. Run disk diagnostics if accessible.

Reseat the storage device. If the CompactFlash card or hard disk is corrupted, restore the operating system and application software from a backup image. Replace the storage media if it has failed.

Ethernet communication is not established with the PLC or network

Verify the Ethernet cable is connected and the link LED on the RJ45 port is active. Check the IP address configuration in Windows network settings. Test with a known-good cable and switch port.

Correct the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings to match the network configuration. Replace the Ethernet cable if defective. If the network interface card is faulty, replace the NIC or the motherboard.
