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 for errors. Verify BIOS settings and reseat storage media. Replace storage device if faulty.
Event ID: 200: Fan failure or cooling system malfunction detected.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Replace the fan unit if it is not spinning. Ensure adequate ventilation around the panel PC.
Event ID: 300: Watchdog timeout — the application or operating system has stopped responding within the defined watchdog interval.
Restart the Panel PC. Check the running application for software hangs. Reconfigure watchdog timeout interval if necessary.
Event ID: 400: Battery low warning — the CMOS/RTC backup battery voltage is below the minimum threshold.
Replace the internal CMOS backup battery (typically CR2032 or equivalent). Verify BIOS clock and settings after replacement.
Event ID: 500: Ethernet communication error — loss of network connection or network interface failure.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connection. Verify IP configuration in the operating system. Replace Ethernet cable or check network adapter settings.
Event ID: 600: Temperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded the defined operating threshold.
Check ambient temperature around the panel. Clean air filters and ventilation slots. Verify that the cooling fan is operational and that the installation environment meets specifications.
Event ID: 700: USB device error — connected USB peripheral not recognized or communication failure on USB bus.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB device. Try an alternative USB port. Check for driver conflicts in the operating system device manager.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Check internal fuses and verify the power LED status. Connect an external monitor via the VGA port to determine if the issue is with the display or the PC itself.

If the external monitor shows output, the internal display or backlight inverter may be faulty and should be replaced. If no output is present, inspect the power supply unit and internal connections. Replace the backlight or display panel as required.

Panel PC fails to boot or gets stuck at POST screen

Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for physical damage or loose connections. Enter BIOS setup to verify boot device order and storage device detection.

Reseat or replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk. Restore the operating system image if the storage media is corrupted. Verify BIOS settings are correctly configured for the installed storage device.

Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate

Check if the touchscreen controller is recognized in the operating system device manager. Verify that the touchscreen calibration utility has been run. Inspect the touchscreen connector cable for damage or loose seating.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Siemens or Windows calibration tool. If the touchscreen remains unresponsive, reseat the internal touchscreen cable. Replace the touchscreen overlay if calibration does not resolve the issue.

Ethernet communication lost or not established

Check the Ethernet cable and verify link LEDs on the RJ45 port. Confirm IP address configuration in the operating system. Test connectivity with a known-good cable and switch port.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the network adapter settings in the operating system. If the port remains non-functional, check for driver issues or consider replacing the network interface card if the unit has a modular design.

Panel PC overheating or shutting down unexpectedly

Check the ambient temperature of the installation environment against the specified operating range of 0 °C to +45 °C. Inspect ventilation slots and cooling fan for blockage or failure.

Clean all ventilation slots and air filters. Verify the cooling fan is operational and replace it if it has failed. Ensure the installation environment provides adequate airflow and that the panel cutout dimensions meet Siemens specifications.
