Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to load correctly during boot.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for errors. Verify the OS installation and boot configuration. Replace storage media if faulty. - Event ID: 200
- Watchdog timeout — the application software stopped responding within the watchdog monitoring period.
Restart the Panel PC. Check the running application for software loops or deadlocks. Update or reinstall the HMI application software. - Event ID: 300
- Communication error — loss of connection to the PLC or automation controller.
Check Ethernet or serial cable connections. Verify network settings and PLC communication parameters. Confirm the PLC is powered and online. - Event ID: 400
- Temperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Check ambient temperature and ensure adequate ventilation around the panel. Clean any air vents or filters. Verify the cooling system is functioning correctly. - Event ID: 500
- Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the minimum threshold.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit is rated adequately for the load. Replace the power supply if voltage is out of specification. - Event ID: 600
- Touch screen calibration error — the touch input is misaligned or unresponsive.
Perform a touch screen recalibration via the Windows control panel or SIMATIC settings. If the problem persists, check the touch controller connection internally or replace the touch overlay. - Event ID: 700
- Storage media error — read/write failure on the hard disk or CompactFlash card.
Run a disk check utility. Back up data immediately. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card and restore the OS and application software from backup.

Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify the internal fuse and power supply board. Check display backlight connections.
Restore supply voltage to within specification. Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the backlight is faulty, replace the display backlight or the complete display assembly.
Touch screen does not respond or is inaccurate
Attempt touch screen recalibration in the operating system settings. Check for physical damage to the touch overlay. Inspect the internal touch controller ribbon cable connection.
Recalibrate the touch screen via the Windows control panel. If recalibration fails, reseat the touch controller cable. Replace the touch overlay or touch controller board if hardware damage is confirmed.
Panel PC fails to boot or freezes during startup
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash storage media for errors using a disk diagnostic tool. Verify that the OS installation is intact. Check RAM seating if accessible.
Run a disk check and repair utility. If the storage media is corrupted or failed, replace it and reinstall the operating system and HMI application software from a backup image.
Loss of communication with PLC
Verify Ethernet or serial cable integrity and connections. Check IP address configuration and network settings on both the Panel PC and the PLC. Use a ping test to confirm network connectivity.
Replace faulty cables. Correct IP address or communication parameter mismatches. Ensure the PLC is powered and the communication driver is correctly configured in the HMI software.
Unit overheating or thermal shutdown
Measure ambient temperature around the panel. Inspect ventilation slots for blockages. Check if the internal cooling fan (if fitted) is operating.
Reduce ambient temperature or improve cabinet ventilation. Clean blocked ventilation slots. Replace a faulty cooling fan. Ensure the Panel PC is not installed in a location that exceeds the 45 °C maximum operating temperature.
