Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Check the internal fuse and verify the power LED status.
Restore correct supply voltage within the 24 V DC specification. Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the backlight is faulty, replace the display backlight inverter or the display assembly.
Touchscreen does not respond to input
Check if the operating system has loaded correctly. Verify that the touchscreen driver is installed and the touchscreen controller is recognized in Device Manager.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration utility in the control panel. Reinstall the touchscreen driver if it is missing or corrupted. If hardware failure is confirmed, replace the touchscreen panel.
Panel PC fails to boot into the operating system
Observe the boot sequence for BIOS error messages. Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for physical damage or connection issues.
Reseat the storage media and attempt to boot again. Use a recovery image to restore the operating system. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash module if the storage media is found to be faulty.
Ethernet communication with PLC is lost intermittently
Check the Ethernet cable for damage and verify the connection at both the Panel PC and the network switch. Monitor the network adapter status in the operating system.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Assign a static IP address to avoid DHCP-related connectivity issues. Update or reinstall the network adapter driver if the interface is not stable.
Unit overheats and shuts down unexpectedly
Check the ambient temperature around the panel and verify that ventilation openings are not blocked. Confirm that the cooling fan is operating.
Ensure the installation environment is within the 0 to 45 degrees C operating range. Clean dust from ventilation slots and fan. Replace the cooling fan if it has failed.
