Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup failure — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to corrupted system files or hardware fault.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Reinstall or restore the operating system image if necessary.
Event ID: 200: Display driver error — the graphics driver has encountered a fault, resulting in display output issues or a blank screen.
Reinstall or update the display driver. Check display cable connections internally. Replace the display unit if the fault persists.
Event ID: 300: Ethernet communication failure — the network interface is not detected or cannot establish a connection.
Verify network cable connection and switch configuration. Check device manager for driver errors. Replace the network interface card if faulty.
Event ID: 400: USB interface fault — a connected USB device is not recognized or the USB port is non-functional.
Check USB device compatibility. Test with a known-good USB device. Inspect the USB port for physical damage and replace the I/O board if required.
Event ID: 500: Watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has triggered due to an application hang or system overload.
Identify and close the application causing the hang. Check CPU load and memory usage. Restart the Panel PC and investigate the root cause application.
Event ID: 600: Fan failure warning — the cooling fan has stopped or is running below the required speed threshold.
Clean or replace the cooling fan. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Check fan connector on the motherboard.
Event ID: 700: Hard disk or storage media error — read/write errors detected on the internal hard disk or CompactFlash card.
Run a disk check utility. Back up data immediately. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card with a compatible replacement and restore the system image.
Event ID: 800: Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the permissible operating range.
Measure the supply voltage at the power input connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC output within specified tolerances.

Can the internal storage media be replaced on this Panel PC?

Yes, the internal hard disk or CompactFlash card can be replaced. It is recommended to create a system image backup before replacement to allow restoration of the operating system and application software.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check that the 24 V DC supply voltage is present and within tolerance at the power input connector. Verify that the power LED indicator is active. Inspect internal display cable connections.

Restore the supply voltage to the correct level. Reseat internal display cables. If the backlight has failed, replace the backlight unit or the display assembly.

Panel PC does not boot into the operating system

Listen for hard disk activity during startup. Connect an external monitor if possible to check for BIOS output. Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for physical damage or corruption.

Restore the operating system from a backup image onto a replacement CompactFlash card or hard disk. Ensure the boot device is correctly set in the BIOS configuration.

Touchscreen input is unresponsive or inaccurate

Check whether the touchscreen controller is recognized in the device manager. Verify that the touchscreen calibration has not been corrupted. Inspect the touchscreen overlay for physical damage.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Siemens calibration utility. Reinstall the touchscreen driver if the controller is not recognized. Replace the touchscreen overlay if physically damaged.

Ethernet communication cannot be established

Verify the network cable is connected and the switch port is active. Check the IP address configuration in the operating system. Inspect the device manager for network adapter errors.

Correct the IP address and subnet mask settings. Reinstall the network adapter driver. Replace the network interface card if the adapter is not detected after driver reinstallation.

System overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Check that the cooling fan is operating correctly. Inspect ventilation slots for dust blockage. Monitor CPU temperature using system diagnostics tools.

Clean dust from ventilation slots and the cooling fan. Replace the fan if it is not spinning. Ensure the Panel PC is installed with adequate clearance around ventilation openings as specified in the installation guidelines.
