€ 2.007,00
The Siemens 6AV7612-0AA22-0AJ0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel-mounted PC designed for demanding human-machine interface (HMI) and visualization tasks in automation environments. This unit combines a built-in display with a full PC architecture, enabling it to run standard Windows-based SCADA and HMI software alongside process control applications.
The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 features a 12.1-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and supports touch screen operation for intuitive operator interaction. It is equipped with an x86-compatible processor and supports standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (RS-232), and Ethernet ports for connectivity to PLCs, networks, and peripherals. The unit is designed for panel mounting with an IP65-rated front face, providing protection against dust and water ingress in industrial environments. It supports Siemens WinCC and other SIMATIC HMI software packages natively.
The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely deployed in manufacturing, process automation, and machine tool industries where a full PC-based visualization platform is required. Its rugged construction and industrial-grade components make it suitable for continuous operation in factory floor environments with elevated temperatures, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. The panel PC form factor allows direct integration into control cabinets and operator panels, reducing the need for separate PC hardware enclosures.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- Application error on startup, typically caused by a software fault or corrupted HMI runtime installation.
Check Windows Event Viewer for details. Reinstall the HMI runtime software (e.g., WinCC flexible Runtime) and verify software compatibility with the OS version. - Event ID: 7026
- A boot-start or system-start driver failed to load, indicating a hardware driver issue.
Boot into safe mode, check Device Manager for driver conflicts, and reinstall or update the relevant hardware driver. - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected system shutdown recorded, indicating the Panel PC was powered off without a proper shutdown sequence.
Investigate power supply stability, check for voltage dips on the 24 V DC supply, and ensure proper shutdown procedures are followed. - BSOD: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
- Windows cannot access the boot device, typically caused by a failed CompactFlash card or hard disk.
Check the storage medium (CompactFlash or HDD) for errors using diagnostic tools. Replace the storage medium and restore the system image if necessary. - No Signal / Display Blank
- The display shows no image after power-on, indicating a backlight failure or display driver issue.
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage. Inspect the backlight inverter and CCFL backlight tube. Replace the backlight or display unit if the inverter output is absent. - Touchscreen Not Responding
- Touch input is not registered or is misaligned, caused by a faulty touch controller or calibration loss.
Recalibrate the touchscreen via the Windows control panel. If calibration fails, check the touch controller connection on the motherboard and replace the touch overlay if defective. - Network Unreachable
- Ethernet communication is lost or the network adapter is not detected by the operating system.
Verify Ethernet cable and switch port. Check Device Manager for the network adapter status. Reinstall the NIC driver or replace the network adapter card if hardware failure is confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7612-0AA22-0AJ0?
The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens industrial panel PCs.
What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?
The 6AV7612-0AA22-0AJ0 is compatible with Siemens WinCC, WinCC flexible Runtime, and other SIMATIC HMI software packages that support Windows XP Embedded or Windows 2000.
What is the display size and resolution of this unit?
The panel features a 12.1-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA).
What is the front panel protection rating?
The front face of the 6AV7612-0AA22-0AJ0 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust and water jets.
Can this Panel PC communicate with Siemens S7 PLCs?
Yes, via its Ethernet interface and optional PROFIBUS or MPI communication cards, the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 can communicate directly with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs using standard Siemens protocols.
Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not boot after power on
Check the 24 V DC supply at the power connector. Verify that the CompactFlash card or hard disk is properly seated and recognized in the BIOS.
Reseat the storage medium and attempt to boot again. If the BIOS does not detect the storage device, replace the CompactFlash card or HDD and restore the system image from a backup.
Display is blank but the unit appears to be running
The backlight may have failed. Check if the display shows an image when illuminated with an external light source, indicating a backlight fault rather than a display or software fault.
Replace the CCFL backlight tube or the backlight inverter board. If the display itself is damaged, replace the complete display assembly.
Touchscreen input is inaccurate or unresponsive
Perform a touchscreen calibration test via the Windows control panel. Check the ribbon cable connection between the touch overlay and the motherboard for damage or looseness.
Recalibrate the touchscreen. If calibration does not resolve the issue, replace the resistive touch overlay panel and reconnect the ribbon cable securely.
Unit freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation
Check the 24 V DC supply for voltage fluctuations using a multimeter or oscilloscope. Review the Windows Event Viewer for critical error events logged before the freeze or reboot.
Stabilize the power supply and ensure adequate current capacity. If software errors are found, reinstall the HMI runtime. If hardware faults persist, inspect the motherboard for failed capacitors or thermal issues and replace as needed.
Ethernet communication lost with PLC or network
Verify the Ethernet cable integrity and check the switch or hub port. Open Device Manager in Windows to confirm the network adapter is recognized and no driver errors are present.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reinstall the network adapter driver. If the onboard NIC is faulty, install a compatible PCIe or PCI network adapter card as a replacement.
