Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST sequence.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify OS installation and boot configuration. Replace storage medium if faulty. - Event ID: 200
- Watchdog timeout — the system did not respond within the configured watchdog interval.
Check CPU load and running processes. Reduce background tasks or increase watchdog timeout setting in BIOS/system configuration. - Event ID: 300
- Fan failure or thermal warning — internal cooling fan has stopped or temperature threshold exceeded.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Ensure ambient temperature is within specification. Replace fan unit if defective. - Event ID: 400
- Power supply undervoltage — supply voltage at 24 V DC input has dropped below permissible threshold.
Measure supply voltage at the input connector. Ensure power supply output is stable at 24 V DC within tolerance. Check wiring and connectors. - Event ID: 500
- Hard disk or storage medium error — read/write error detected on the internal storage device.
Run disk diagnostics. Back up data immediately. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card as appropriate. - Event ID: 600
- Ethernet communication fault — network interface not detected or link failure.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connection. Verify network adapter settings in Device Manager. Replace cable or network adapter if required. - Event ID: 700
- Touch screen calibration error — touch input coordinates are misaligned or touch controller not responding.
Recalibrate the touch screen using the Siemens calibration utility in the control panel. If unresponsive, check touch controller connection internally or replace the touch overlay. - Event ID: 800
- BIOS configuration lost — CMOS battery discharged, causing loss of BIOS settings.
Replace the internal CMOS battery. Re-enter BIOS settings including date, time, and boot order. Save configuration before restarting.

Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power is applied
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the input connector using a multimeter. Verify the power LED status. Inspect internal fuse if accessible.
Restore correct 24 V DC supply within tolerance. Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the backlight is faulty, the display inverter or backlight lamp may require replacement.
Touch screen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions
Attempt to recalibrate the touch screen via the Windows control panel calibration utility. Check for physical damage or contamination on the screen surface.
Perform a full touch screen recalibration. Clean the screen surface with a soft cloth. If the touch controller hardware is faulty, replace the touch overlay or internal touch controller board.
Panel PC fails to boot or displays a boot error
Check the storage medium (hard disk or CompactFlash card) for errors using diagnostic tools. Listen for unusual sounds from the hard disk during startup.
Run disk diagnostics and repair file system errors. If the storage medium is defective, replace it and reinstall the operating system and application software.
System overheats or shuts down unexpectedly
Check the ambient temperature around the unit. Inspect the cooling fan for operation and cleanliness. Verify that ventilation clearances around the panel are maintained.
Clean the cooling fan and ventilation slots. Ensure ambient temperature does not exceed 45 °C. Replace the cooling fan if it is not operating correctly.
Ethernet communication is not established
Check the Ethernet cable connection and verify the link LED on the RJ45 port is active. Confirm network adapter settings and IP configuration in Windows Device Manager.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the network adapter IP settings. Update or reinstall the network adapter driver if the interface is not detected by the operating system.
