Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify OS installation and boot configuration. Replace storage medium if faulty. - Event ID: 1000
- Application error — HMI or SCADA software has crashed or become unresponsive.
Restart the application. Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error logs. Reinstall HMI software if the issue persists. - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected system shutdown recorded by Windows Event Log, indicating a previous unclean shutdown.
Check 24 V DC power supply stability. Inspect power connectors and UPS if installed. Investigate potential software or OS crash causes. - Communication Error
- Loss of communication between Panel PC and connected PLC or automation controller.
Verify Ethernet cable connections and network configuration. Check IP address settings and firewall rules. Confirm PLC is online and communication driver is correctly configured. - Touchscreen Not Responding
- Touch input is not registered or is misaligned after startup or OS load.
Recalibrate the touchscreen via the control panel calibration utility. Check touchscreen controller driver installation. If hardware fault is suspected, inspect touchscreen connector on the mainboard. - Display Backlight Failure
- Screen is powered but display remains dark; backlight has failed or is not activated.
Check backlight inverter board and CCFL lamp connections. Replace backlight inverter or CCFL lamp assembly. If using LED backlight variant, inspect LED driver circuit. - Watchdog Timeout
- Hardware watchdog timer has triggered a system reset due to software hang or unresponsive OS.
Investigate software causing the hang. Update or reinstall HMI application. Check CPU load and memory usage. Ensure watchdog service is correctly configured.

Troubleshooting
Panel PC does not boot after power on
Check that 24 V DC supply is present and within tolerance at the power input connector. Inspect the CompactFlash card or hard disk for physical damage or loose connection.
Reseat the storage medium and verify power supply voltage. If the storage medium is faulty, replace it and reinstall the operating system and HMI software from backup.
Touchscreen input is inaccurate or unresponsive
Determine whether the issue is a calibration problem or a hardware fault by attempting touchscreen recalibration through the Windows control panel. Check for physical damage to the screen surface.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility to correct alignment. If the touchscreen remains unresponsive after calibration, inspect the internal touchscreen controller cable connection or replace the touchscreen assembly.
No image on display despite system appearing to run
Check whether the backlight is functioning by shining an external light at the screen to detect a faint image, indicating a backlight failure rather than a display or graphics fault.
Replace the backlight inverter board or CCFL lamp. If the display itself is faulty (no image even with backlight), replace the TFT display panel.
Ethernet communication to PLC is lost intermittently
Check Ethernet cable integrity and connector seating. Use a network diagnostic tool to monitor packet loss. Verify IP address configuration and subnet settings in the OS network adapter settings.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Assign a static IP address to avoid DHCP-related dropouts. Update the network adapter driver and verify firewall or antivirus software is not blocking communication.
System runs slowly or HMI application freezes
Check CPU and RAM utilization via Windows Task Manager. Identify any background processes consuming excessive resources. Check available storage space on the system drive.
Disable unnecessary background services and startup programs. Free up storage space or replace the storage medium with a larger capacity unit. If RAM is insufficient, upgrade memory if the hardware supports it.
