Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA20-0BF0 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 combines a built-in display with a full PC architecture, enabling it to run standard Windows-based SCADA and HMI software alongside process control applications.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0BF0) features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels and a touch-sensitive front panel for operator interaction. It is equipped with an Intel Celeron processor and runs on a 24 V DC supply voltage. The unit provides standard PC interfaces including USB, Ethernet (RJ45), and serial COM ports, and supports expansion via PCI slots for additional communication or I/O cards. The fanless or fan-cooled design and industrial-grade components ensure reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, process industries, and machine building where a full PC platform is required at the operator station. Typical applications include SCADA visualization, recipe management, data logging, and integration with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLC systems via PROFIBUS or Industrial Ethernet. Its panel-mount form factor and robust construction make it suitable for installation in control cabinets and operator consoles in automotive, chemical, food and beverage, and packaging industries.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify BIOS settings and reseat memory modules. Replace storage media if corrupted.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault — the HMI or SCADA software has crashed unexpectedly.
Restart the application. Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error logs. Reinstall the HMI software if the fault persists.
Event ID: 2500: Communication loss to PLC or controller via configured interface (PROFIBUS or Ethernet).
Check network cable connections and switch/hub status. Verify PLC IP address or PROFIBUS node address configuration in the HMI project.
Event ID: 3000: Touchscreen calibration error — touch input is misaligned or unresponsive.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel. Clean the touch surface and check the touchscreen controller connection internally.
Event ID: 4000: Hardware watchdog timeout — the system did not respond within the watchdog interval.
Investigate CPU load and running processes. Disable unnecessary background applications. Check for hardware faults causing system hangs.
Event ID: 5000: Fan failure or thermal overtemperature warning detected.
Check and clean cooling fans and ventilation slots. Verify ambient temperature is within specification. Replace faulty fan if necessary.
Event ID: 6000: UPS or power supply undervoltage event — supply voltage dropped below acceptable threshold.
Measure the 24 V DC supply at the input connector. Check power supply unit output and wiring. Replace power supply if voltage is out of tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA20-0BF0?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0BF0) operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage. Ensure the power source is stable and within the specified tolerance range.

What operating system does this Panel PC support?

This unit supports Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000. It is designed to run Siemens WinCC, WinCC flexible, or other Windows-based SCADA and HMI software packages.

What is the IP protection rating of the front panel?

The front panel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and water jets, suitable for installation in industrial control panels.

Can this Panel PC communicate with Siemens S7 PLCs?

Yes, the 6AV7613-0AA20-0BF0 supports communication with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS using appropriate communication cards or onboard interfaces.

Is the display on this unit a touchscreen?

Yes, the 15-inch TFT display features a resistive touchscreen for operator input, allowing direct interaction with the HMI application without a separate keyboard or mouse.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the input terminals. Check the internal fuse and inspect the power supply board for visible damage.

Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the power supply board is faulty, replace or repair the power supply module. Ensure input voltage is within the 24 V DC specification.

Display is blank but the system appears to be running (HDD activity LED active)

Check the display backlight by observing the screen at an angle with a flashlight. Verify the display cable connection between the mainboard and the LCD panel.

Replace the CCFL backlight or inverter board if the backlight has failed. Reseat or replace the display cable if the connection is loose or damaged.

Touchscreen input is not registering or is significantly offset from the touched position

Attempt to recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows Control Panel calibration utility. Check if the touch controller driver is correctly installed.

Perform a full touchscreen recalibration. If the problem persists, reinstall the touchscreen driver or replace the touchscreen overlay if it is physically damaged.

System freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation

Check the Windows Event Viewer for critical errors or hardware watchdog events. Monitor CPU temperature and check cooling fan operation.

Clean dust from cooling fans and heatsinks. Reduce CPU load by closing unnecessary applications. If the issue continues, test RAM modules and consider replacing the hard disk or CompactFlash storage.

Loss of communication with PLC — HMI shows connection error

Verify the Ethernet or PROFIBUS cable connections at both the Panel PC and the PLC. Ping the PLC IP address from the Panel PC command prompt to test network connectivity.

Replace or reseat the network cable. Verify the IP address and subnet mask configuration on both devices. Check the communication card seating in the PCI slot if an add-on card is used.
