Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000: Application error – an application process has encountered a fault and was terminated unexpectedly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for details. Reinstall or update the affected HMI application software. Verify software compatibility with the installed OS version.
Event ID: 6008: Unexpected shutdown – the system was shut down uncleanly, indicating a possible power loss or system crash.
Check the 24 V DC power supply for stability and correct voltage level. Inspect power connectors and cabling. Review event logs for preceding errors.
BIOS POST Error: Hardware component not detected during Power-On Self-Test, such as missing RAM or storage device.
Reseat RAM modules and CompactFlash/hard disk connections. Verify hardware compatibility. Replace faulty memory or storage if necessary.
WinCC Runtime Error: WinCC HMI runtime software has encountered a configuration or communication error and cannot start or maintain connection.
Check project configuration and PLC communication settings. Verify Ethernet connection and IP addressing. Restart WinCC runtime and check license dongle if applicable.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has triggered due to the operating system or application becoming unresponsive.
Investigate CPU load and running processes. Check for software loops or memory leaks in the HMI application. Consider increasing watchdog timeout interval or optimizing the application.
Fan Failure Warning: Internal cooling fan has stopped or is operating below the minimum required speed.
Inspect and clean the fan and ventilation openings. Replace the internal fan if it is not spinning. Ensure ambient temperature is within the specified operating range.
Hard Disk Error: Read/write error or failure detected on the internal hard disk or CompactFlash storage device.
Back up data immediately if possible. Run disk diagnostics. Replace the hard disk or CompactFlash card and restore the system image.
Network Communication Lost: Ethernet communication to the PLC or network has been interrupted or cannot be established.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Verify IP address configuration on both the Panel PC and the connected controller. Check for network hardware faults.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check that the 24 V DC supply voltage is present and within tolerance at the power input connector. Verify the backlight is not failed by checking for a faint image on the screen surface.

Confirm power supply output is stable at 24 V DC. If the backlight has failed, the display assembly or inverter board may need replacement. If no power is detected, inspect fuses and wiring.

Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate

Determine whether the issue is a complete lack of response or positional inaccuracy. Check if the touchscreen driver is installed and active in the operating system Device Manager.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility. If unresponsive, check the touchscreen controller connection internally. Replace the touchscreen overlay if the surface is physically damaged.

Panel PC fails to boot and shows BIOS error

Observe the BIOS POST messages on screen. Identify whether the error relates to missing RAM, storage device, or other hardware component.

Reseat RAM modules and check CompactFlash or hard disk connections. If the storage device is not detected, replace it and restore the system image from a backup.

HMI application loses communication with PLC intermittently

Check the Ethernet cable and switch connections. Use a network diagnostic tool to monitor packet loss or latency between the Panel PC and the PLC.

Replace suspect Ethernet cables and ensure the switch port is functioning correctly. Verify IP address and subnet mask settings. Update network adapter drivers if necessary.

System overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Check the ambient temperature around the panel and verify that ventilation openings are not blocked. Inspect the internal cooling fan for operation.

Clean dust from ventilation slots and fan blades. Ensure the installation environment does not exceed 45 °C. Replace the internal fan if it is not operating correctly.
