Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA20-0BE0 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 automation environments. This unit integrates a flat-panel display with a full PC architecture, enabling both operator control and data processing within a single compact device.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7613-0AA20-0BE0 features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and supports touch screen operation for intuitive operator interaction. It is built around an industrial-grade processor platform and supports standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (RS-232), and Ethernet for connectivity to controllers and networks. The unit is designed for fanless or low-maintenance operation where possible, and its robust steel enclosure provides a high degree of protection for the front panel, rated to IP65, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, automotive, process industries, and machine building applications where a full Windows-based PC environment is required at the machine level. Its compatibility with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and other SCADA/HMI software makes it a natural fit for integration into Siemens-based automation architectures. The device is also used in applications requiring local data logging, recipe management, and complex visualization that exceed the capabilities of standard operator panels.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup failure – the Panel PC failed to complete the boot sequence correctly.
Check power supply voltage at 24 V DC input. Verify that the operating system image is intact. Restore OS from recovery partition if necessary.
Event ID: 200: Ethernet communication lost – the network connection to the controller or SCADA system has been interrupted.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Verify IP address configuration in Windows network settings. Check controller communication settings.
Event ID: 300: Touch screen calibration error – touch input is misaligned or unresponsive.
Run the touch screen calibration utility from the Windows control panel. If unresponsive, check the touch controller connection internally. Replace touch overlay if calibration fails repeatedly.
Event ID: 400: Hard disk or storage device error – the internal storage medium has reported a fault or is not detected.
Check BIOS/UEFI for storage device detection. Run disk diagnostics. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive if errors are confirmed.
Event ID: 500: Fan failure or thermal warning – internal temperature has exceeded the operating threshold.
Check that ventilation slots are not blocked. Verify fan operation if present. Clean dust filters. Ensure ambient temperature is within the 0 °C to +50 °C operating range.
Event ID: 600: WinCC Runtime communication fault – the HMI software has lost communication with the configured PLC or controller.
Check PLC connection and communication driver configuration in WinCC. Verify network or MPI/PROFIBUS cable connections. Restart WinCC Runtime and confirm channel settings.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Check whether the power LED is illuminated. Listen for any startup sounds indicating the PC is booting without display output.

Verify and restore correct 24 V DC supply. If the PC boots but the display is blank, check the internal display cable connection. Replace the backlight inverter or TFT panel if the backlight has failed.

Touch screen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Attempt to control the unit using an external USB mouse to determine if the issue is isolated to the touch screen. Check Device Manager in Windows for touch controller errors.

Recalibrate the touch screen using the calibration utility in the Windows Control Panel. If the touch overlay is physically damaged or the controller is faulty, replace the touch screen assembly.

Panel PC fails to boot into Windows

Observe the boot sequence on screen. Check BIOS settings to confirm the correct boot device is selected. Attempt to boot from the recovery partition.

Restore the operating system from the factory recovery partition. If the storage medium (CompactFlash or HDD) is faulty, replace it and reinstall the OS using the Siemens recovery media.

Ethernet communication to PLC is intermittent or lost

Check the Ethernet cable and verify link LEDs on the switch and the Panel PC. Ping the PLC from the Panel PC command prompt to test connectivity. Review WinCC communication channel logs for error messages.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Assign a static IP address to avoid DHCP conflicts. Reconfigure the WinCC communication driver and ensure the PLC program and HMI project use matching connection parameters.

Unit overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Check the ambient temperature around the panel installation. Inspect ventilation openings for blockages or dust accumulation. Review Windows Event Viewer for thermal shutdown events.

Clean all ventilation openings and ensure the panel cutout provides adequate clearance as specified in the installation manual. Verify that the ambient temperature does not exceed 50 °C. If a cooling fan is fitted, confirm it is operational and replace if faulty.
