Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the Panel PC failed to complete the boot sequence successfully.
Check power supply voltage (24 V DC), verify hard disk or CompactFlash integrity, and attempt a controlled restart. Re-image the storage medium if the OS is corrupted.
Event ID: 1000: Application crash — a running HMI or SCADA application (e.g. WinCC) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review Windows Event Viewer logs for the faulting application. Reinstall or repair the HMI software. Check for memory or storage issues.
Event ID: 6008: Unexpected shutdown — the system was not shut down cleanly on the previous session.
Investigate power supply stability. Check UPS if installed. Run a file system check (chkdsk) on the next startup to repair any file system errors.
WinCC Runtime Error: WinCC Runtime cannot start or loses connection to the configuration database.
Verify the WinCC project path and database integrity. Restart the WinCC Runtime service. Re-transfer the project from the engineering station if necessary.
Network Connection Lost: Ethernet communication to the PLC or SCADA server has been interrupted.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Verify IP address configuration in Windows Network Settings. Confirm PLC or server is online and reachable via ping.
Touchscreen Calibration Error: The touchscreen input is misaligned or unresponsive after startup.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel or SIMATIC settings. If unresponsive, check the touchscreen controller driver and USB/internal connection.
Storage Medium Warning: The CompactFlash card or hard disk is reporting errors or low available space.
Back up the project and OS image immediately. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk with an approved Siemens replacement. Restore from backup image.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not power on or display remains blank after applying 24 V DC

Measure the 24 V DC supply at the power connector to confirm correct voltage. Check internal fuses and inspect the power supply module for visible damage.

Replace any blown internal fuses with the correct rated fuse. If the power supply module is faulty, replace it. Ensure the 24 V DC source is stable and within tolerance.

Touchscreen is unresponsive or input is significantly offset from the touched position

Determine whether the issue is a calibration drift or a hardware failure by attempting recalibration via the Windows Control Panel touchscreen utility.

Perform a full touchscreen recalibration. If the touchscreen remains unresponsive after recalibration, check the internal touchscreen controller connection and replace the touchscreen assembly if necessary.

Panel PC boots to a black screen or fails to load Windows after the BIOS POST

The operating system on the CompactFlash card or hard disk may be corrupted. Check BIOS settings to confirm the correct boot device is selected.

Re-image the storage medium using a Siemens-approved OS image for the Panel PC 670. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk if the storage medium has failed.

WinCC Runtime application does not start or displays a database connection error

Check the WinCC project directory for missing or corrupted files. Review the Windows Event Viewer for specific WinCC error entries.

Repair or reinstall the WinCC Runtime software. Re-transfer the project from the engineering station. Ensure sufficient free disk space is available on the storage medium.

Ethernet communication to PLC or network is intermittent or not established

Verify the Ethernet cable connection and check the link/activity LEDs on the RJ45 port. Confirm the IP address and subnet mask settings in Windows Network Connections.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the network settings to match the plant network. If the onboard Ethernet port is faulty, install a compatible USB-to-Ethernet adapter as a temporary measure.
