Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000: Application error – a software application has encountered an unexpected fault and terminated.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details. Reinstall or update the affected HMI application (e.g., WinCC). Verify software compatibility with the installed OS version.
Event ID: 6008: Unexpected shutdown – the system was shut down unexpectedly, possibly due to a power interruption or system crash.
Check the 24 V DC power supply for stability and correct voltage level. Review Event Viewer logs for preceding errors. Inspect the internal power supply module.
BIOS POST Error: Power-On Self-Test failure – hardware fault detected during startup, such as a memory or CPU error.
Reseat RAM modules and check all internal connectors. If the error persists, replace the faulty hardware component identified in the POST message.
WinCC Runtime Error: WinCC runtime has failed to start or has crashed, preventing the HMI project from loading.
Verify the WinCC license is valid and installed correctly. Reinstall WinCC runtime if necessary. Check for corrupted project files and restore from backup.
Network Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or network device.
Check Ethernet cable connections and switch/hub status. Verify IP address configuration and subnet settings. Confirm the PLC communication driver is correctly configured in the HMI project.
Hard Disk Error: The internal hard disk or CompactFlash storage device has reported a fault or is not detected.
Check BIOS settings to confirm the storage device is recognized. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card if faulty. Restore the OS and HMI project from a backup image.
Touchscreen Calibration Error: The touch screen is not responding correctly or is misaligned, causing incorrect input registration.
Run the touch screen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel or SIMATIC settings. If calibration fails, check the touch controller cable connection internally. Replace the touch screen overlay if the hardware is defective.

Troubleshooting

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

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector to confirm correct voltage level. Check internal fuses and the power supply module for signs of damage.

Replace any blown internal fuses with the correct rating. If the power supply module is faulty, replace it. Ensure the 24 V DC source is stable and within the specified voltage range.

Display is blank or backlight does not illuminate

Confirm the unit is powered on by checking for fan activity or HDD LED activity. Test the backlight inverter and the display cable connections internally.

Replace the backlight inverter or the TFT display panel if the backlight has failed. If the display cable is loose or damaged, reseat or replace it.

Touch screen input is unresponsive or inaccurate

Attempt to recalibrate the touch screen using the Windows Control Panel calibration utility. Check the touch controller interface cable inside the unit for secure connection.

Recalibrate the touch screen. If the problem persists, replace the resistive touch screen overlay. Ensure no physical damage or contamination is present on the screen surface.

Unit fails to boot and displays a BIOS error or stops at POST screen

Check whether the hard disk or CompactFlash storage is detected in the BIOS. Reseat RAM modules and verify all internal board connections are secure.

Replace the storage device and restore the operating system and HMI project from a backup image. If RAM is faulty, replace with compatible modules as specified for the Panel PC 670 platform.

Communication with PLC is lost during operation

Check the Ethernet cable and network switch for physical faults. Verify the IP address and subnet configuration in Windows and in the WinCC communication driver settings.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP settings to match the network. Restart the WinCC communication driver or reload the HMI project. If the Ethernet port is faulty, replace the network interface card.
