Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA20-0BH0 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. The 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 (6AV7613-0AA20-0BH0) features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels and a touch-sensitive screen for operator interaction. It is built around an industrial-grade processor platform and supports communication via standard interfaces including Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and serial interfaces such as RS-232. The unit operates on 24 V DC supply voltage and is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65 protection rating on the front face, making it resistant to dust and water ingress in industrial environments. Onboard memory and storage options support the execution of Windows operating systems and HMI runtime software such as WinCC.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely deployed in manufacturing, process industries, and machine building where a full PC-based visualization platform is required. It is suitable for applications such as SCADA visualization stations, production line monitoring, and complex HMI tasks that demand higher computing performance than standard operator panels. Its robust industrial construction and compatibility with Siemens automation software make it a practical choice for integration into SIMATIC-based control architectures.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to corrupted system files or storage media failure.
Check the Compact Flash card or hard disk for errors. Attempt system restore or reinstall the operating system image.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault — the HMI runtime application (e.g. WinCC) has crashed or terminated unexpectedly.
Review the Windows Event Viewer log for the faulting module. Reinstall or repair the HMI runtime software. Check for software version compatibility.
Event ID: 7000: Service failed to start — a required Windows service did not start during boot, which may prevent HMI software from running.
Check the Windows Event Viewer System log for the specific service name. Verify service startup settings and dependencies in the Services management console.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or automation controller via Ethernet or serial interface.
Verify network cable connections and IP address configuration. Check firewall settings and ensure the correct communication driver is installed and configured.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has detected that the processor or application has stopped responding within the expected time frame.
Perform a controlled restart. If the fault recurs, check CPU load, memory usage, and application stability. Hardware fault may require service inspection.
Temperature Warning: Internal temperature sensor has detected that the operating temperature is approaching or exceeding the specified limit.
Check ambient temperature and ensure adequate ventilation around the panel. Clean air filters if present. Verify that the cooling fan (if fitted) is operational.
Storage Media Error: Read/write error detected on the Compact Flash card or internal hard disk used for the operating system and application data.
Back up data immediately if possible. Replace the Compact Flash card or hard disk. Restore the system image and application software.
Display Backlight Failure: The LCD backlight has failed or its brightness has dropped significantly, resulting in a dim or completely dark display.
Replace the backlight inverter board or the LCD panel assembly. Check the backlight power connector for secure seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA20-0BH0?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for SIMATIC Panel PC 670 devices.

What is the display size and resolution of this Panel PC?

The 6AV7613-0AA20-0BH0 features a 15-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA).

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 support?

The Panel PC 670 supports Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, and is compatible with Siemens WinCC and other Windows-based HMI and SCADA software.

What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA20-0BH0 carries an IP65 protection rating, providing protection against dust and low-pressure water jets.

Is the 6AV7613-0AA20-0BH0 compatible with SIMATIC S7 PLCs?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 can communicate with SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet using standard Siemens communication protocols such as S7 communication and PROFINET, when the appropriate software drivers are installed.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify that the backlight inverter is receiving power and that the LCD panel cable is securely connected internally.

If supply voltage is correct, replace the backlight inverter or LCD panel assembly. If no supply voltage is present, inspect the external power supply and wiring.

Touchscreen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions

Check whether the touch controller driver is correctly installed in the operating system. Verify that the touchscreen calibration has not been corrupted.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows control panel or Siemens calibration utility. If the problem persists, replace the touch overlay or the touch controller board.

Panel PC fails to boot and shows a black screen or BIOS error

Inspect the Compact Flash card or hard disk for physical damage or loose seating. Attempt to boot from an external medium to determine if the storage device has failed.

Reseat or replace the Compact Flash card. Restore the factory operating system image using the Siemens recovery procedure. If the BIOS itself is corrupted, the motherboard may require replacement.

Ethernet communication to PLC is intermittent or lost

Check the Ethernet cable and RJ45 connector for damage. Verify the IP address configuration in Windows network settings and confirm the PLC IP settings match the configured communication parameters in the HMI software.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP address settings. Reinstall the communication driver if the network adapter is not recognized correctly in Device Manager.

System runs slowly or HMI application freezes periodically

Check CPU and memory utilization using Windows Task Manager. Inspect the Compact Flash card or hard disk for fragmentation or errors using disk diagnostic tools.

Close unnecessary background applications and services. Run a disk check and defragmentation if using a hard disk. If the storage medium is failing, replace it and restore the system image.
