Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA20-0AJ0 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 (HMI) and visualization tasks in industrial automation environments. This unit combines a flat-panel display with an integrated PC platform, providing a compact and robust solution for process visualization and control.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0AJ0) features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and a touch-sensitive screen for operator interaction. It is built around an industrial-grade PC architecture running on a Windows-based operating system, supporting SIMATIC WinCC and other Siemens visualization software. The unit provides standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (COM), and Ethernet ports, and is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65-rated front face for protection against dust and water ingress. The robust industrial housing ensures reliable operation in harsh factory environments.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in the automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and general manufacturing industries. It is suited for applications requiring a full PC-based HMI platform, such as SCADA visualization, process monitoring, recipe management, and data logging at the machine or line level. Its compatibility with Siemens SIMATIC software and standard industrial communication protocols makes it a practical choice for integration into existing Siemens automation architectures.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly or a critical system file is missing or corrupted.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for errors. Reinstall or restore the operating system image using the Siemens recovery media.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault — the HMI or visualization software (e.g. WinCC) has crashed or encountered an unhandled exception.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details. Reinstall or repair the WinCC or HMI runtime software. Ensure software version compatibility.
Hardware Error: Fan: Cooling fan failure or fan speed below threshold detected by system monitoring.
Inspect and clean the cooling fan. Replace the fan unit if it is not spinning or is running below rated speed to prevent thermal shutdown.
Hardware Error: Temperature: Internal system temperature has exceeded the permissible operating limit.
Check ambient temperature and ensure it is within the 0–45 °C operating range. Clean air vents and verify fan operation. Check panel enclosure ventilation.
Hardware Error: Battery: CMOS/RTC backup battery voltage is low or battery has failed, causing loss of BIOS settings and real-time clock data.
Replace the internal CMOS battery (typically a CR2032 lithium coin cell). Re-enter BIOS settings and synchronize the system clock after replacement.
Communication Error: Ethernet: Loss of Ethernet network connection or failure to establish communication with the PLC or SCADA server.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Verify IP address configuration and network settings. Check PLC communication driver configuration in WinCC.
Display Error: No Signal: The display panel shows no image despite the system being powered on, indicating a possible GPU, backlight, or display connection fault.
Check internal display cable connections. Test with an external monitor via VGA if available. Replace the backlight inverter or display panel if the internal display remains blank.
Storage Error: HDD/CF: Hard disk drive or CompactFlash storage device is not detected or has reported read/write errors.
Check physical connection of the storage device. Run a disk diagnostic. Replace the HDD or CompactFlash card and restore the system image from backup media.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0AJ0) run?

Yes, the front panel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. The rear of the unit is rated IP20.

What communication interfaces are available on this unit?

The unit provides Ethernet (RJ45) for network and PLC communication, USB ports for peripherals and data transfer, and RS-232 serial (COM) ports for legacy device connectivity.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check that 24 V DC is present at the power supply connector. Measure voltage at the internal power supply output. Inspect the display backlight inverter and internal display cable connections.

If supply voltage is correct, replace the backlight inverter board or the internal display cable. If the system does not boot at all, check the storage device and attempt to restore the OS image from recovery media.

Touchscreen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions

Check if the touchscreen is calibrated correctly within the operating system. Inspect the touchscreen controller connection to the motherboard. Check for physical damage or contamination on the screen surface.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility. If calibration fails, replace the touchscreen overlay or the touchscreen controller board.

System fails to boot and displays BIOS error or stops at POST screen

Check the CMOS battery voltage. Verify that the HDD or CompactFlash storage device is detected in BIOS. Check for corrupted boot files on the storage device.

Replace the CMOS battery and reset BIOS to default settings. If the storage device is not detected, reseat or replace it and restore the operating system from Siemens recovery media.

WinCC or HMI runtime software crashes repeatedly

Check Windows Event Viewer for application error logs. Verify that the installed WinCC version is compatible with the operating system version. Check available disk space and RAM.

Repair or reinstall the WinCC runtime software. Ensure all Siemens software patches and service packs are applied. If hardware memory is faulty, test and replace the RAM module.

Ethernet communication to PLC is lost intermittently

Check the Ethernet cable and connector for damage or loose fit. Verify the IP address and subnet configuration in Windows network settings. Check the WinCC communication driver channel settings.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Assign a static IP address to avoid DHCP conflicts. Reconfigure the WinCC communication driver and verify the PLC connection parameters match the project configuration.
