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 OS installation and boot configuration. Replace storage medium if faulty. - Event ID: 200
- Hardware watchdog timeout — the system did not respond within the watchdog monitoring period.
Check CPU load and running processes. Reduce system load or increase watchdog timeout interval in BIOS/software settings. - Event ID: 300
- Fan failure or thermal warning — internal cooling fan has stopped or temperature threshold exceeded.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Ensure ambient temperature is within specification. Replace fan if defective. - Event ID: 400
- UPS (uninterruptible power supply) module fault or low battery condition detected.
Check UPS module connections and battery charge level. Replace UPS battery or module as required. - Event ID: 500
- Communication interface error — loss of connection on Ethernet or PROFIBUS interface.
Verify network cable connections and switch/hub status. Check IP address configuration and firewall settings. Reload communication driver if necessary. - Event ID: 600
- Application software crash or HMI runtime error — WinCC or visualization software has terminated unexpectedly.
Restart the HMI application. Check application event logs for root cause. Reinstall or repair the HMI software if crashes persist. - Event ID: 700
- Storage medium error — read/write error on hard disk or CompactFlash card.
Run disk diagnostics. Back up data immediately. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card and restore the OS and application image.

Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power is applied
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify the internal fuse and backlight inverter board. Confirm the operating system boots correctly by connecting an external monitor if possible.
Replace the backlight lamp or inverter board if the display is dark but the system is running. If no power is detected, check the power supply unit and wiring. Replace the internal power supply board if faulty.
Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate
Check for physical damage or contamination on the touch surface. Verify the touch controller driver is installed and active in the operating system Device Manager.
Clean the touch surface with a soft cloth. Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration utility in the Windows control panel. If the issue persists, replace the touchscreen overlay or touch controller board.
Panel PC fails to boot or continuously restarts
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash storage medium for errors using diagnostic tools. Inspect the BIOS settings for correct boot device selection. Check for overheating by monitoring CPU temperature.
Replace the storage medium and restore the OS and application image from a backup. Reset BIOS to default settings if misconfigured. Ensure adequate ventilation and clean any dust from cooling vents.
Ethernet communication to PLC is lost intermittently
Inspect the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector for damage or poor contact. Check the network switch or hub for faults. Verify IP address and subnet configuration in Windows network settings.
Replace the Ethernet cable and reseat the connector. Assign a static IP address to avoid DHCP conflicts. Update the Ethernet adapter driver or replace the network interface card if hardware failure is confirmed.
System clock resets to incorrect date and time after power cycle
The CMOS battery on the motherboard is likely discharged. This is a common issue on older Panel PCs that have been in storage or service for extended periods.
Replace the CMOS coin cell battery (typically CR2032) on the motherboard. After replacement, re-enter the correct date, time, and BIOS settings.
