Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA20-0AH0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel computer designed for demanding human-machine interface (HMI) and visualization tasks in industrial environments. This unit integrates a flat-panel display with a full PC platform, providing both operator interface and computing functionality in a single compact device.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0AH0) features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and supports touch screen operation. It is equipped with an x86-compatible processor, onboard RAM, and supports standard PC interfaces including USB and Ethernet for connectivity. The unit is designed for fanless or low-maintenance operation where possible, and supports Windows-based operating systems, making it compatible with standard SCADA and HMI software packages such as WinCC.

This Panel PC is suited for use in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine tool applications where a robust, integrated PC-based HMI solution is required. Its industrial-grade construction and panel-mount design make it appropriate for integration into control cabinets and operator panels in industries such as automotive, food and beverage, chemical processing, and general factory automation. The device supports long-term availability typical of Siemens industrial products, making it suitable for installations requiring extended lifecycle support.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup failure or BIOS POST error during boot sequence.
Check power supply voltage at 24 V DC input. Verify RAM and storage media are properly seated. Attempt BIOS reset to factory defaults.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault or software exception in the HMI runtime environment.
Restart the HMI application. Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error logs. Reinstall or repair the HMI runtime software if the fault persists.
Event ID: 1001: Communication loss between Panel PC and connected PLC or controller.
Check Ethernet or MPI/PROFIBUS cable connections. Verify network settings and IP address configuration. Confirm PLC is online and reachable.
Event ID: 2000: Storage media error or compact flash/hard disk read/write failure.
Check the storage device for errors using disk diagnostic tools. Replace the compact flash card or hard disk if errors are confirmed. Restore system image from backup.
Event ID: 3000: Operating system error or Windows registry corruption.
Perform a system restore or reload the factory OS image. Ensure the storage media is not write-protected. Replace storage media if corruption recurs.
Event ID: 4000: Touchscreen calibration error or touch input not responding correctly.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows touchscreen calibration utility. Check the touchscreen controller connection internally. Replace the touchscreen overlay if calibration fails repeatedly.
Event ID: 5000: Overtemperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded the defined threshold.
Check ambient temperature around the panel. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Verify cooling fan operation if fitted. Reduce ambient temperature or improve cabinet ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA20-0AH0?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0AH0) operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens industrial panel devices.

What display size and resolution does this Panel PC have?

This unit features a 12-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA), suitable for standard HMI visualization applications.

What operating system does the 6AV7613-0AA20-0AH0 support?

The Panel PC 670 supports Windows-based operating systems such as Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000, and is compatible with Siemens WinCC and other SCADA software.

Is the front panel of this device protected against dust and water ingress?

Yes, the front panel carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust and low-pressure water jets, suitable for industrial panel integration.

Can this Panel PC communicate with Siemens S7 PLCs?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 can communicate with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet using standard protocols, and can also support additional communication cards for MPI or PROFIBUS connectivity.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the input connector. Check the internal fuse and verify the power LED status. Connect an external monitor if a VGA port is available to isolate display vs. system failure.

Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the system boots but the display is blank, replace the backlight inverter or the TFT display panel. If no boot activity is detected, inspect the mainboard and power supply module.

Touchscreen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions

Attempt touchscreen recalibration through the Windows control panel. Check for physical damage or contamination on the touchscreen surface. Verify the touchscreen controller driver is installed correctly.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the manufacturer-provided utility. Clean the touchscreen surface. If recalibration fails, replace the touchscreen overlay or the touchscreen controller board.

Panel PC fails to boot or continuously restarts

Check the compact flash card or hard disk for errors using diagnostic software. Listen for BIOS beep codes during POST. Verify RAM modules are properly seated.

Replace the compact flash card or hard disk and restore the system image from a backup. Reseat RAM modules. If the mainboard is faulty, replace the mainboard or the complete Panel PC unit.

Loss of communication with the connected PLC

Verify Ethernet cable integrity and connection at both the Panel PC and PLC ends. Check IP address configuration and subnet settings. Use a ping test to confirm network reachability.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Correct IP address and subnet mask settings in Windows network configuration. Ensure the PLC communication driver and WinCC project settings match the PLC configuration.

System clock resets to incorrect date and time after power cycle

This typically indicates a depleted CMOS battery on the mainboard. Confirm by checking the BIOS clock after a full power-off cycle.

Replace the CMOS battery (typically a CR2032 coin cell) on the Panel PC mainboard. After replacement, set the correct date and time in the BIOS and save settings.
