Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA20-0AE0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel-mounted PC designed for demanding human-machine interface and visualization tasks in automation environments. The unit combines a built-in display with a full PC architecture, enabling it to run standard Windows-based SCADA, HMI, and process visualization software.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0AE0) features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and a touch-sensitive front panel for operator interaction. It is equipped with an industrial-grade processor and supports standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (RS-232), and Ethernet (RJ45) for integration into plant networks and PLC communication. The unit is designed for fanless or low-maintenance operation where possible, with a robust aluminum front bezel rated to IP65 for protection against dust and water ingress from the front panel. It supports operation under industrial temperature and humidity conditions and is compatible with standard PC expansion options.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, automotive, chemical processing, and food and beverage industries where a full PC-based visualization platform is required at the machine level. Its panel-mount design allows direct integration into control cabinets and operator stations, making it suitable for process control rooms, production line supervision, and complex HMI applications requiring PC-level computing power. The combination of industrial ruggedization and standard PC compatibility makes it appropriate for applications running Siemens WinCC, WinCC flexible, or third-party SCADA software.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100000: General system startup error — the Panel PC failed to complete the boot sequence successfully.
Check power supply voltage at 24 V DC input. Verify BIOS settings and ensure the operating system installation is intact. Re-seat RAM and storage media if accessible.
Event ID: 110000: Operating system not found or boot device failure.
Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk connection. Verify the boot order in BIOS. Replace the storage medium if corrupted or failed.
Event ID: 120000: Hardware watchdog timeout — the system did not respond within the watchdog monitoring period.
Investigate CPU load and running processes. Disable or reconfigure the watchdog timer in the BIOS or system software if the timeout interval is too short for the application.
Event ID: 130000: Temperature warning — internal system temperature has exceeded the defined threshold.
Check ambient temperature and ensure ventilation clearances are maintained. Clean any dust from ventilation openings. Verify that the fan (if fitted) is operational.
Event ID: 140000: Touchscreen controller communication error — the touch input device is not responding.
Check the internal ribbon cable connection between the touchscreen controller and the motherboard. Recalibrate the touchscreen via the operating system. Replace the touchscreen controller if the fault persists.
Event ID: 150000: Ethernet interface fault — network adapter not detected or communication failure.
Verify network cable connection and switch/hub status. Check Device Manager in Windows for driver errors. Re-install network drivers or replace the network interface card if faulty.
Event ID: 160000: Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply has dropped below the minimum operating threshold.
Measure the supply voltage at the input connector. Ensure the power supply unit is rated for the Panel PC load. Check wiring for excessive voltage drop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA20-0AE0?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply. Ensure the power source is within the specified tolerance range for reliable operation.

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 support?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series supports Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Embedded, depending on the specific configuration ordered. Some variants also support Windows 2000.

Is the 6AV7613-0AA20-0AE0 compatible with Siemens WinCC?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 is compatible with Siemens WinCC and WinCC flexible visualization software, as well as other Windows-based SCADA and HMI applications.

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

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA20-0AE0 is rated to IP65, providing protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.

Can the storage medium be replaced or upgraded?

The Panel PC 670 typically uses a CompactFlash card or an industrial hard disk as its primary storage medium, both of which can be replaced. It is recommended to use Siemens-approved storage media to ensure compatibility and reliability.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the input connector. Check the internal fuse if accessible. Observe whether the power LED illuminates on startup.

Restore correct supply voltage if out of range. Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the backlight is suspected, replace the CCFL backlight inverter or the display unit.

Touchscreen does not respond to input

Attempt to operate the unit using a connected USB mouse or keyboard to determine if the issue is isolated to the touch layer. Check Device Manager for touchscreen controller errors.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the calibration utility in the operating system. If calibration fails, check the internal ribbon cable connection. Replace the touchscreen overlay or controller board if faulty.

Panel PC fails to boot or shows boot error

Check whether the CompactFlash card or hard disk is detected in the BIOS. Listen for POST beep codes and note any error messages displayed during startup.

Re-seat the storage medium and verify BIOS boot order settings. If the storage medium is corrupted, restore the operating system image using a Siemens recovery medium or replace the storage device.

System overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Monitor the CPU and system temperature using a diagnostic utility. Check that ventilation slots are unobstructed and that the unit is installed within the specified ambient temperature range of 0 °C to +45 °C.

Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for airflow. Clean ventilation openings of dust buildup. If a cooling fan is fitted, verify it is operational and replace if necessary.

Ethernet communication not working

Check the network cable and verify link LEDs on the RJ45 port. Open Device Manager in Windows to check for network adapter errors or missing drivers.

Replace the network cable if damaged. Re-install or update the network adapter drivers. If the onboard NIC is faulty, replace the network interface card or the motherboard assembly.
