Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check that 24 V DC supply voltage is present at the power connector. Verify the power LED status on the unit. Inspect internal fuses if accessible.

Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within tolerance. Replace any blown internal fuses. If the backlight has failed, the backlight inverter or display assembly may require replacement.

Touchscreen does not respond to input

Check if the operating system has loaded correctly. Verify touchscreen driver installation in Windows Device Manager. Inspect the touchscreen controller connection internally.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility. Reinstall or update touchscreen drivers. If hardware failure is confirmed, replace the touchscreen overlay or controller board.

Unit fails to boot into Windows

Attempt to boot from an external USB device to determine if the issue is with the hard drive or CompactFlash card. Check for BIOS error messages on screen during POST.

Replace the internal hard drive or CompactFlash storage medium and reinstall the operating system and HMI software. Restore from a system backup image if available.

Ethernet communication is not established

Check the Ethernet cable and switch port. Verify IP address configuration in Windows network settings. Check for link activity LEDs on the RJ45 port.

Reconfigure the IP address and subnet mask to match the network. Replace the Ethernet cable. If the onboard NIC has failed, install a compatible USB-to-Ethernet adapter as a workaround.

Panel PC overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Check that ventilation slots are not blocked. Verify the ambient temperature is within the 0 to 45 °C operating range. Inspect internal cooling fans if present.

Ensure adequate airflow around the unit and clean any dust from ventilation openings. Verify the installation environment meets thermal requirements. Replace failed cooling fans if applicable.
