Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the Panel PC failed to complete the boot sequence correctly.
Check power supply voltage at 24 V DC input. Verify that the operating system is intact and not corrupted. Re-image the system drive if necessary.
Event ID: 1000: Application error — a software application has encountered a fatal error and terminated unexpectedly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error logs. Reinstall or update the affected HMI application. Ensure software compatibility with the installed OS version.
Event ID: 7000: Service control manager error — a required Windows service failed to start during boot.
Review Windows Event Viewer under System logs. Re-enable or reinstall the affected service. Check for corrupted system files using Windows repair tools.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or network device.
Check Ethernet cable connections and network switch status. Verify IP address configuration and subnet settings. Confirm PLC communication driver settings in WinCC or the HMI application.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog timer has triggered, indicating the operating system or application has become unresponsive.
Perform a controlled restart of the Panel PC. Check for excessive CPU or memory load. Investigate background processes that may be consuming system resources.
Hard Disk Error: The internal hard disk or Compact Flash storage device has reported a read/write error or failure.
Run a disk diagnostic utility to assess drive health. Back up all project data immediately. Replace the internal hard disk or Compact Flash card as required.
Display Backlight Failure: The LCD backlight has failed or is operating at reduced brightness, resulting in a dim or blank display.
Check backlight inverter connections internally. Replace the backlight inverter board or the LCD panel assembly if the backlight does not respond after reconnection.
Temperature Warning: The internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Check that ambient temperature is within the 0 °C to 45 °C operating range. Clean ventilation openings and ensure adequate airflow around the unit. Inspect internal cooling components for failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AA20-0CF0?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7613-0AA20-0CF0 operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage. Ensure the power source is stable and within the specified tolerance range.

What display size and resolution does this Panel PC have?

This unit features a 15-inch TFT color LCD display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA). The display includes a resistive touchscreen for operator input.

Is this Panel PC compatible with Siemens WinCC?

What communication interfaces are available on this Panel PC?

The unit provides Ethernet (RJ45) for network connectivity, as well as RS-232 and RS-422/485 serial interfaces for connection to PLCs and peripheral devices.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Check whether the power LED indicator is illuminated. Determine if the system is booting but the display is not receiving a signal, or if the unit is not powering on at all.

If supply voltage is correct and the unit powers on but the display is blank, suspect a failed backlight inverter or LCD panel. Replace the backlight inverter board. If the unit does not power on, inspect internal fuses and the power supply module.

Touchscreen does not respond to input or is inaccurate

Check whether the touchscreen responds at all or only in certain areas. Determine if the issue appeared after an OS update or physical impact. Access the touchscreen calibration utility within the Windows control panel.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Siemens or Windows touchscreen calibration tool. If calibration does not resolve the issue, inspect the touchscreen controller connections internally. Replace the touchscreen overlay if physical damage is present.

Panel PC fails to boot or repeatedly restarts

Observe the boot sequence and note at which stage the failure occurs. Check Windows Event Viewer logs if the system reaches the OS loading stage. Test the internal storage device for errors using a diagnostic utility.

If the storage device is faulty, replace the hard disk or Compact Flash card and re-image the operating system and HMI project. If the issue is software-related, perform a Windows repair installation. Verify that the 24 V DC supply is stable and free from voltage drops.

Loss of communication with connected PLC or SCADA system

Check physical Ethernet or serial cable connections. Verify the IP address and network configuration settings within Windows. Confirm that the communication driver in WinCC or the HMI application is correctly configured and running.

Replace or reseat network cables. Reconfigure IP settings if they have been lost due to a CMOS battery failure. Reinstall communication drivers if they are corrupted. Replace the CMOS battery if network settings are repeatedly lost after power cycles.

System runs slowly or HMI application is unresponsive

Check CPU and RAM utilization using Windows Task Manager. Identify any background processes consuming excessive resources. Assess the condition of the internal storage device for fragmentation or errors.

Terminate unnecessary background processes and disable non-essential startup programs. Defragment the hard disk or replace a degraded storage device. If RAM is insufficient for the application, consider upgrading the memory module if the hardware supports it.
