Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to a corrupted system partition or failed storage device.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for errors. Restore the system image using the recovery partition or a backup image. - Event ID: 200
- Hardware watchdog timeout — the watchdog timer was not reset within the defined interval, indicating a system hang or software freeze.
Restart the Panel PC. Check for software processes consuming excessive CPU resources. Update or reinstall the HMI application. - Event ID: 300
- Fan failure detected — the internal cooling fan has stopped or is operating below the minimum required speed.
Inspect and clean the fan. Replace the fan if it is defective. Ensure adequate ventilation around the panel. - Event ID: 400
- Temperature limit exceeded — the internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the permissible operating threshold.
Check ambient temperature and ventilation. Clean air filters and cooling vents. Verify that the fan is operational. - Event ID: 500
- Battery low — the CMOS backup battery voltage has dropped below the minimum level, which may cause loss of BIOS settings and real-time clock data.
Replace the internal CMOS battery (CR2032 or equivalent as specified). Re-enter BIOS settings after replacement. - Event ID: 600
- Network communication error — the Ethernet interface cannot establish or maintain a connection to the configured network.
Check Ethernet cable connections and network switch status. Verify IP address configuration in the operating system. Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. - Event ID: 700
- Storage device error — the hard disk or CompactFlash card has reported a read/write error or is not detected by the system.
Check physical connection of the storage device. Run a disk diagnostic utility. Replace the storage device if errors persist and restore from a system backup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7613-0AA12-0CJ0 run?
The 6AV7613-0AA12-0CJ0 is supplied with a Windows-based operating system, typically Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Embedded, depending on the specific configuration ordered. This enables compatibility with Siemens WinCC and WinCC flexible HMI software.
What is the display size and resolution of this Panel PC?
This unit features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and supports 65,536 colors.
What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA12-0CJ0?
The Panel PC 670 operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for industrial panel-mounted devices.
Is the front panel of this unit protected against dust and water?
Yes, the front panel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for installation in environments where dust and water splashing may occur.
What communication interfaces are available on this Panel PC?
The unit provides Ethernet (RJ45), RS-232 serial ports, and USB interfaces, allowing connection to PLCs, automation networks, and peripheral devices.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check that the 24 V DC supply voltage is present at the power connector. Verify that the power LED indicator is illuminated. Measure supply voltage with a multimeter at the input terminals.
Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within tolerance. If the supply is correct but the display remains blank, inspect the internal power supply board and the display backlight inverter. Replace the backlight or internal power supply module as required.
Panel PC fails to boot into the operating system
Observe the boot sequence on the display. Check whether the BIOS detects the storage device (hard disk or CompactFlash). Listen for unusual noises from the hard disk.
If the storage device is not detected, reseat the hard disk or CompactFlash card. If the device is detected but the OS fails to load, restore the system image from the recovery partition or an external backup using a USB drive.
Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate
Verify that the touchscreen controller driver is installed and active in the operating system. Check for physical damage or contamination on the screen surface.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration utility in the operating system or the Siemens touchscreen driver software. Clean the screen surface with a soft, dry cloth. If calibration does not resolve the issue, replace the touchscreen overlay.
Ethernet communication cannot be established
Check the Ethernet cable connection and verify that the link LED on the RJ45 port is illuminated. Confirm the IP address configuration in the operating system network settings.
Replace the Ethernet cable if the link LED is not lit. Verify that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings are correctly configured. Check the network switch or router for port faults.
System clock loses time after power off
The CMOS backup battery is likely depleted. Enter the BIOS setup after power on to check whether the date and time are reset to default values.
Replace the internal CMOS backup battery with the correct type as specified in the Panel PC 670 hardware manual. After replacement, re-enter the correct date, time, and BIOS settings.
