Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA10-0AE0 is an industrial Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is a high-performance, panel-mounted industrial computer designed for demanding human-machine interface (HMI) and visualization tasks in industrial environments. This unit integrates computing power and display functionality into a single ruggedized housing suitable for direct panel mounting.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA10-0AE0) features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and is equipped with a resistive touchscreen for operator input. It is powered by an Intel Celeron processor and runs Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000, supporting SIMATIC WinCC and other Siemens HMI software packages. The unit provides standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (RS-232), parallel, and Ethernet (RJ45) ports, enabling integration with a wide range of automation and IT systems. It is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65 protection rating on the front face, protecting against dust and water ingress in industrial settings.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, automotive, chemical, and process industries where a full PC-based HMI solution is required. It is particularly suited for applications demanding complex visualization, data logging, recipe management, and integration with SCADA systems such as SIMATIC WinCC. Its robust construction and industrial-grade components make it appropriate for continuous operation in environments with vibration, temperature variation, and electromagnetic interference.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to initialize correctly during boot.
Check hard disk integrity, verify OS installation, and inspect power supply stability. Reboot and observe POST messages for further diagnostics.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault — a running HMI or SCADA application (e.g. WinCC) has crashed unexpectedly.
Review Windows Event Viewer logs for the faulting module. Reinstall or repair the affected application and ensure software versions are compatible.
Event ID: 7034: Service terminated unexpectedly — a critical Windows service has stopped without a controlled shutdown.
Identify the affected service in Windows Event Viewer, restart the service, and investigate root cause such as memory issues or software conflicts.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and connected PLC or automation system via Ethernet or serial interface.
Verify network cable connections and IP address configuration. Check PLC communication settings and ensure firewall or antivirus software is not blocking the connection.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has triggered due to the operating system or application becoming unresponsive.
Investigate CPU load and running processes. Reduce background tasks, check for memory leaks in the HMI application, and consider increasing watchdog timeout settings if configurable.
Hard Disk Error: The internal hard disk or Compact Flash storage device has reported a read/write error or is failing.
Run a disk diagnostic utility (e.g. chkdsk). Back up all data immediately and replace the storage medium. Consider upgrading to a Compact Flash or SSD solution for improved reliability.
Temperature Warning: Internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Check that ventilation slots are unobstructed and ambient temperature is within specification (0–45 °C). Clean internal fans or heat sinks if accessible and verify cooling system operation.
Display Backlight Failure: The LCD backlight has failed or dimmed significantly, resulting in a dark or unreadable display.
Replace the CCFL backlight lamp or the inverter board. If the unit uses an LED backlight assembly, replace the backlight module. Verify supply voltage to the display assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What display size and resolution does the 6AV7613-0AA10-0AE0 have?

This Panel PC features a 15-inch TFT color LCD with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA). It includes a resistive touchscreen for operator input.

What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC Panel PC 670?

The Panel PC 670 supports Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, and is compatible with SIMATIC WinCC and other Siemens HMI visualization software packages.

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA10-0AE0?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for industrial panel-mounted devices in automation environments.

What is the front panel protection rating of this Panel PC?

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA10-0AE0 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. The rear of the unit is rated IP20.

Is the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 compatible with SIMATIC WinCC?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 is designed to run SIMATIC WinCC and other Siemens HMI software. It is commonly used as a WinCC runtime station for process visualization and SCADA applications.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify that the power LED indicator is active. Test the display backlight by shining an external light source at the screen to determine if the LCD itself is functioning without backlight.

If supply voltage is correct but display is blank, replace the backlight inverter board or CCFL lamp assembly. If no power LED is present, inspect internal fuses and the power supply module.

Panel PC fails to boot or gets stuck at POST screen

Observe the POST (Power-On Self-Test) messages on screen to identify the failing component. Check hard disk activity LED. Connect an external keyboard and monitor if possible to gather more diagnostic information.

Run a disk check utility (chkdsk) or replace the internal hard disk or Compact Flash card. Reseat RAM modules if accessible. If the issue persists, the motherboard or BIOS may require service.

Touchscreen input is inaccurate or unresponsive

Verify that the touchscreen calibration utility has been run within the operating system. Check for physical damage or contamination on the touch surface. Inspect the touchscreen controller cable connection internally.

Recalibrate the resistive touchscreen using the Windows touchscreen calibration tool. Clean the screen surface with a soft cloth. If unresponsive after calibration, replace the touchscreen overlay or the touchscreen controller board.

Loss of communication with PLC or network devices

Check Ethernet cable integrity and connection at both the Panel PC and the switch or PLC. Verify IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings in Windows Network Connections. Use the ping command to test network reachability.

Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfiguration. Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Update or reinstall the network adapter driver. Ensure that Windows Firewall or any antivirus software is not blocking the required communication ports.

System runs slowly or HMI application freezes

Open Windows Task Manager to check CPU and memory utilization. Identify any background processes consuming excessive resources. Check available hard disk space, as low disk space can significantly degrade performance.

Terminate unnecessary background processes and disable non-essential startup programs. Free up disk space by removing temporary files. If the hard disk is nearly full or fragmented, replace or defragment the storage medium. Consider increasing RAM if the hardware supports it.
