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 BIOS settings and reseat storage media. Replace storage device if faulty.
Event ID: 200: Watchdog timeout triggered — application software stopped responding within the defined monitoring interval.
Restart the application software. Check for software exceptions or memory leaks. Update or reinstall the HMI runtime software if the issue persists.
Event ID: 300: Fan failure or thermal warning — internal cooling fan not operating within specification.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Replace the fan unit if it is not spinning. Ensure ambient temperature is within the specified operating range.
Event ID: 400: 24 V DC supply undervoltage detected at the panel PC power input.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within tolerance. Check wiring and connectors for voltage drop.
Event ID: 500: Ethernet communication link failure — no network connection detected.
Check Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector. Verify network switch or hub port status. Confirm IP address configuration in the operating system network settings.
Event ID: 600: Touch screen calibration error — touch input coordinates are misaligned with display output.
Run the touch screen calibration utility from the Windows control panel or SIMATIC configuration tool. Clean the touch surface and recalibrate. Replace the touch screen overlay if calibration fails repeatedly.
Event ID: 700: Storage media read/write error — CompactFlash card or hard disk reporting I/O errors.
Run a disk check utility to identify bad sectors. Back up data immediately. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive as required.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Verify that the internal power supply is functioning and that the backlight inverter is receiving power.

Confirm stable 24 V DC supply. If the supply is correct, the backlight lamp or inverter board may be faulty and should be replaced. Check internal fuses if accessible.

Touch screen does not respond or registers incorrect input positions

Determine whether the issue is a calibration problem or a hardware failure by attempting to recalibrate the touch screen through the Windows control panel.

Run the touch screen calibration utility. If calibration does not resolve the issue, inspect the touch screen overlay connector and replace the resistive touch screen overlay if damaged.

Panel PC fails to boot or continuously restarts

Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors using a disk diagnostic tool. Inspect BIOS settings for correct boot device selection.

Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk if errors are found. Reinstall the operating system and HMI software. Verify that the 24 V DC supply is stable and free from voltage spikes.

Ethernet communication with PLC or network is lost intermittently

Inspect the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector for physical damage or loose connection. Check the network switch port and verify IP address configuration in Windows network settings.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP address settings if incorrect. Update the Ethernet adapter driver if communication issues persist after hardware checks.

Unit overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Check the ambient temperature around the panel PC installation. Inspect the cooling fan for operation and verify that ventilation clearances around the unit are maintained.

Ensure the ambient temperature does not exceed 50 °C. Clean dust from ventilation openings and replace the cooling fan if it is not operating. Verify that the panel cutout provides adequate airflow.
