Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA20-0BJ0 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 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 visualization applications.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels and a touch-sensitive screen for operator interaction. It is equipped with an Intel Celeron or Pentium processor depending on the variant, and supports standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (RS-232), and Ethernet (RJ45) for integration into plant networks. The unit is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65-rated front bezel, protecting against dust and water ingress in industrial settings. It operates on a 24 V DC supply and is built to withstand the vibration and temperature conditions typical of factory floor environments.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in the automotive, food and beverage, chemical, and machine building industries where a full PC-based HMI platform is required. Its compatibility with Siemens WinCC, WinCC flexible, and third-party SCADA software makes it suitable for complex visualization and data logging tasks. The rugged front panel construction and industrial-grade components make it appropriate for continuous operation in production environments where reliability is essential.

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.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for integrity. Reinstall the operating system or restore from a system backup.
Event ID: 1001: Application crash — the HMI or SCADA software (e.g. WinCC) has terminated unexpectedly.
Review the Windows Event Viewer for application error details. Reinstall or repair the HMI software installation.
Hardware Error: HDD: Hard disk drive failure or read/write error detected.
Replace the internal hard disk drive. Restore the system image from backup media. Consider upgrading to a CompactFlash or SSD solution.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog timer has expired, indicating the CPU or application has become unresponsive.
Perform a controlled restart. Check for software loops or excessive CPU load. Update firmware and HMI application software.
Temperature Warning: Internal temperature has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Check that ventilation slots are unobstructed. Verify ambient temperature is within the 0–45 °C operating range. Clean internal cooling fans if present.
Communication Error: Ethernet: Loss of Ethernet network connection or failure to communicate with the PLC or SCADA server.
Check Ethernet cable and switch connections. Verify IP address configuration. Confirm the PLC or server is online and reachable.
Display Driver Error: The graphics driver has failed or the display output is not initialised correctly.
Restart the Panel PC. If the issue persists, reinstall the graphics driver from the Siemens recovery partition or support media.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0BJ0) run?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is typically supplied with Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional, depending on the order configuration. The specific OS version is determined at the time of order.

What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

The Panel PC 670 is compatible with Siemens WinCC, WinCC flexible, and ProTool/Pro, as well as third-party SCADA and visualization software that runs on Windows. It can also run standard Windows applications alongside HMI software.

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA20-0BJ0?

This Panel PC operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for Siemens industrial panel PCs in this series.

What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?

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

Can the hard disk drive be replaced or upgraded in the field?

Yes, the internal hard disk drive is accessible and can be replaced. Siemens also supports CompactFlash-based storage as an alternative to the spinning hard disk, which improves reliability in high-vibration environments.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check that 24 V DC is present at the power connector. Verify the power LED status. Measure voltage at the internal power supply output rails.

If supply voltage is correct but display remains off, check the backlight inverter board and replace if faulty. If no supply voltage is present, inspect the power supply module and input fusing.

Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate

Check whether the touch controller is recognised in Windows Device Manager. Attempt to recalibrate the touchscreen using the Siemens calibration utility in the Control Panel.

Recalibrate the touchscreen via the provided calibration tool. If the touchscreen remains unresponsive, check the ribbon cable connection between the touch panel and the controller board, and replace the touch overlay if damaged.

Panel PC fails to boot — stops at BIOS or shows disk error

Attempt to boot from an external USB device to determine if the internal hard disk has failed. Listen for clicking or grinding sounds from the HDD.

Replace the internal hard disk drive with a compatible unit. Restore the operating system and HMI software from a Siemens recovery image or customer backup.

Ethernet communication lost with PLC or SCADA server

Check physical Ethernet connection and link LEDs on the RJ45 port. Ping the Panel PC from another device on the network to verify connectivity. Check IP address settings in Windows Network Connections.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP address if it has been changed. Update the Ethernet adapter driver if the interface is not recognised correctly.

System runs slowly or HMI application freezes intermittently

Check CPU and memory utilisation in Windows Task Manager. Inspect the hard disk for errors using the Windows CHKDSK utility. Check available disk space.

Free up disk space by removing unnecessary files. Run CHKDSK to repair disk errors. If the hard disk is failing, replace it. Consider increasing RAM if the system is running near its memory limit.
