Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000: Application error – an application process has terminated unexpectedly on the Panel PC operating system.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details. Restart the affected application or reinstall the HMI software if the error persists.
Event ID: 7034: A service terminated unexpectedly, typically related to the WinCC or HMI runtime service.
Restart the service via Windows Service Manager. If recurring, check for software corruption and reinstall the runtime application.
Hardware Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has detected that the operating system or application has stopped responding within the defined timeout period.
Perform a controlled restart of the Panel PC. Check for CPU overload or runaway processes. Verify adequate cooling and ventilation.
No Signal / Display Blank: The display backlight or video signal is not being received by the panel, resulting in a blank screen.
Check 24 V DC power supply at the input connector. Verify backlight inverter functionality. Replace backlight or display assembly if the backlight has failed.
Touch Screen Not Responding: The resistive touch screen is not registering input or is registering incorrect coordinates.
Recalibrate the touch screen via the operating system control panel. Clean the touch surface. If calibration fails, check the touch controller connection or replace the touch screen assembly.
Ethernet Link Failure: The Ethernet interface is not establishing a network connection, preventing communication with PLCs or SCADA servers.
Check the Ethernet cable and switch port. Verify IP address configuration in the operating system. Test with a known-good cable and check the RJ45 port for physical damage.
CMOS Battery Low: The real-time clock CMOS battery voltage is low, causing loss of date/time settings after power-off.
Replace the internal CMOS battery (typically CR2032 or equivalent). Refer to the hardware manual for battery location and replacement procedure.
USB Device Not Recognized: A connected USB peripheral is not recognized by the operating system.
Try a different USB port. Check USB driver installation in Device Manager. Verify that the USB device is compatible with the installed operating system version.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA20-0CE0?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA20-0CE0) operates on a 24 V DC power supply. Ensure the supply is stable and within the specified tolerance range.

What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

The unit is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC flexible, and other Windows-based SCADA or HMI software packages. It runs on Windows XP Embedded or Windows 2000 operating systems.

What is the IP protection rating of the front panel?

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA20-0CE0 is rated IP65, providing protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for industrial panel installation.

Can the touch screen be recalibrated in the field?

Yes, the resistive touch screen can be recalibrated using the touch screen calibration utility within the Windows operating system control panel, without requiring hardware disassembly.

What communication interfaces are available on this unit?

The 6AV7613-0AA20-0CE0 provides Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and serial interfaces (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485), allowing connectivity to PLCs, networks, and peripheral devices.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not power on after connecting 24 V DC supply

Measure the 24 V DC voltage at the power input connector with a multimeter. Check the internal fuse if accessible. Verify polarity of the DC supply connection.

Correct any wiring errors and ensure the supply voltage is within specification. Replace the internal fuse if blown. If the unit still does not power on, the internal power supply board may require repair or replacement.

Display is blank but the system appears to be running (HDD activity, network activity)

The backlight may have failed while the PC is operating normally. Connect an external monitor via the VGA port if available to confirm the PC is running.

Replace the backlight lamp or inverter board in the display assembly. If the display panel itself has failed, replace the display module. Confirm the display cable connection is secure internally.

Touch screen input is inaccurate or offset from the actual touch point

The touch screen calibration data may be corrupted or the touch controller may have drifted. Access the Windows control panel to check calibration settings.

Run the touch screen calibration utility from the Windows control panel and follow the on-screen instructions to recalibrate. If calibration cannot be saved, check the CMOS battery and replace if necessary.

System freezes or reboots unexpectedly during operation

Check the CPU temperature and ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Review the Windows Event Viewer for critical errors or hardware faults. Check RAM seating if the unit has been subject to vibration.

Clean ventilation areas and ensure ambient temperature is within the 0-45 °C operating range. Reseat RAM modules if accessible. If software-related, reinstall the HMI runtime application. Replace the mainboard if hardware faults are confirmed.

Loss of date and time settings after each power cycle

The CMOS battery maintaining the real-time clock has discharged. This is common in units that have been in storage or powered off for extended periods.

Locate and replace the internal CMOS battery (typically a CR2032 lithium coin cell) following the hardware manual procedure. Reset the date and time in the BIOS after replacement.
