Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- Application error – a running HMI or SCADA application has encountered an unhandled exception and terminated unexpectedly.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for detailed error logs. Reinstall or update the affected application. Verify software compatibility with the installed OS version. - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected shutdown – the system was shut down uncleanly, typically due to a power loss or hardware fault.
Check the 24 V DC power supply for stability and correct voltage. Inspect power connectors and cabling. Consider adding a UPS if power fluctuations are present. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware initialization failure during power-on self-test, indicating a memory, CPU, or peripheral fault.
Reseat RAM modules and any expansion cards. Clear CMOS and reset BIOS to defaults. If the fault persists, replace the defective hardware component. - No Boot Device Found
- The system cannot locate a bootable operating system, typically due to a failed hard disk or compact flash card.
Check that the storage medium (HDD or CF card) is properly seated and recognized in BIOS. Replace the storage device and restore the OS image if the drive has failed. - Watchdog Timeout
- The hardware watchdog timer has triggered a system reset because the operating system or application stopped responding within the defined timeout period.
Investigate CPU load and running processes for software hangs. Adjust watchdog timeout settings if applicable. Check for OS or application instability and apply relevant patches. - Fan Failure Warning
- The system cooling fan has stopped or is operating below the minimum required speed, risking thermal shutdown.
Inspect and clean the fan assembly. Replace the fan if it is not spinning correctly. Ensure ventilation clearances around the panel PC are maintained. - Temperature Warning
- Internal temperature has exceeded the defined threshold, triggering a thermal warning before automatic shutdown.
Verify ambient temperature is within the 0–45 °C operating range. Clean air filters and ventilation slots. Check that the cooling fan is operational. - Communication Interface Error
- Loss of communication on the Ethernet or serial interface, preventing data exchange with connected PLCs or SCADA systems.
Check physical cable connections and connector integrity. Verify IP address configuration and network settings. Test with a known-good cable and confirm PLC communication parameters match.

Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power is applied
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector using a multimeter. Verify that the power LED indicator is active. Attempt to connect an external monitor via the VGA port to determine if the fault is isolated to the display or the entire system.
If the external monitor shows output, the internal display or its backlight inverter may have failed and should be replaced. If there is no output at all, inspect internal fuses and the power supply board. Replace defective components as required.
Touchscreen does not respond to input
Verify that the touchscreen controller is recognized in Windows Device Manager. Check for physical damage or contamination on the screen surface. Attempt to recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility.
Clean the screen surface with a soft, dry cloth. Recalibrate the touchscreen via the control panel. If the touchscreen remains unresponsive, the touchscreen overlay or its controller board may need replacement.
System fails to boot and displays a 'No Boot Device' message
Enter the BIOS setup during POST and check whether the internal hard disk or compact flash card is detected. Inspect the storage device connection and seating.
Reseat the storage device and retry booting. If the drive is not detected, replace it with a compatible unit and restore the operating system image from a backup or recovery medium.
Ethernet communication with PLC is intermittent or lost
Check the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector for damage or poor contact. Verify the IP address configuration in Windows network settings. Use a network ping test to determine if the Panel PC is reachable on the network.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP address settings to match the network subnet. If the onboard Ethernet port is faulty, install a compatible PCI Ethernet adapter as a replacement interface.
System overheats and shuts down unexpectedly
Check the ambient temperature around the panel PC installation. Inspect the cooling fan for operation and listen for abnormal noise. Examine ventilation slots for dust blockage.
Clean all ventilation slots and the fan assembly using compressed air. Ensure the installation environment does not exceed 45 °C. Replace the cooling fan if it is not operating correctly.
