Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup failure — the Panel PC fails to complete the boot sequence, often due to a corrupted operating system or failed storage medium.
Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors. Reinstall or restore the operating system image using the Siemens recovery tool. - Event ID: 1000
- Application crash — the HMI runtime application (e.g. WinCC flexible Runtime) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for application error details. Reinstall the HMI runtime software and check for software version compatibility. - Event ID: 2000
- Communication loss to PLC — the Panel PC has lost its configured communication connection to the connected SIMATIC PLC.
Verify Ethernet or MPI/PROFIBUS cable connections. Check PLC address settings and ensure the communication driver is correctly configured in WinCC. - Event ID: 3000
- Touchscreen not responding — the touch input layer is not registering user input correctly.
Recalibrate the touchscreen via the Windows control panel touch calibration utility. If calibration fails, inspect the touch controller hardware and connections. - Event ID: 4000
- Fan failure warning — the internal cooling fan has stopped or is running below the required speed threshold.
Power down the unit and inspect the internal fan for obstruction or mechanical failure. Replace the fan with the appropriate Siemens spare part. - Event ID: 5000
- Storage medium error — read/write errors detected on the CompactFlash card or internal hard disk.
Back up project data immediately. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk and restore the system image. Verify the replacement medium is Siemens-approved. - Event ID: 6000
- Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the minimum operating threshold.
Measure the supply voltage at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within the specified tolerance range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What display size and resolution does the 6AV7613-0AA12-0AJ0 have?
This Panel PC features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and resistive touchscreen input.
What operating voltage does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 require?
The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens industrial panel PCs.
Which HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?
The 6AV7613-0AA12-0AJ0 is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and WinCC flexible runtime software packages, running on a Windows-based industrial operating system.
What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?
The front bezel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust and water jets, suitable for industrial panel mounting.
Can this Panel PC communicate directly with SIMATIC S7 PLCs?
Yes, the unit supports Ethernet-based communication and can be configured to connect to SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs using standard Siemens communication drivers within WinCC.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power is applied
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector using a multimeter. Verify that the internal fuse is intact and that the backlight inverter is functioning.
Restore the supply voltage to within the specified 24 V DC range. If the backlight is faulty, replace the backlight inverter or the display assembly. Check and replace the internal fuse if blown.
Touchscreen input is inaccurate or unresponsive
Determine whether the issue is a calibration drift or a hardware failure by attempting touchscreen recalibration through the Windows control panel.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility. If calibration does not resolve the issue, inspect the touch controller board and ribbon cable connections. Replace the touch overlay or controller if damaged.
Panel PC fails to boot or gets stuck at startup screen
Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for physical damage or corruption. Attempt to boot from an external recovery medium to isolate the fault.
Restore the factory system image using the Siemens recovery procedure. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk if the storage medium is found to be defective.
Loss of communication with SIMATIC PLC
Verify the Ethernet cable connection and check the network configuration settings (IP address, subnet mask) on both the Panel PC and the PLC. Use a ping test to confirm network connectivity.
Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfigured network parameters. Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reinstall or reconfigure the communication driver in WinCC if the connection settings are corrupted.
Unit overheating or fan alarm triggered
Inspect the ventilation slots and internal fan for dust accumulation or mechanical obstruction. Measure the ambient temperature around the unit to confirm it is within the 0 to 50 °C operating range.
Clean the ventilation slots and fan blades using compressed air. Replace the internal cooling fan if it is mechanically failed. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for airflow and reduce ambient temperature if necessary.
