Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- Application error – a software application on the Panel PC has encountered an unexpected fault and terminated.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details. Restart the application or reinstall the HMI software (e.g., WinCC flexible Runtime). - Event ID: 6008
- Unexpected shutdown – the system was not shut down cleanly, indicating a possible power loss or hardware fault.
Check the 24 V DC power supply for stability and correct voltage level. Inspect wiring and connectors. Review event log for preceding errors. - BIOS POST Error
- Hardware component not detected during Power-On Self-Test, such as missing RAM or storage device.
Reseat memory modules and storage media. Verify all internal connections. Replace faulty hardware components if necessary. - WinCC Runtime Error
- WinCC or WinCC flexible Runtime fails to start or crashes, often due to corrupted project files or licensing issues.
Verify the WinCC license is valid and installed. Restore the project from a backup. Reinstall the Runtime software if corruption is confirmed. - Network Connection Lost
- Ethernet communication to the PLC or SCADA server has been interrupted.
Check Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Verify IP address configuration. Test connectivity using ping. Check PLC communication settings. - Touchscreen Calibration Error
- Touch input is misaligned or unresponsive, indicating a calibration or hardware fault with the touchscreen.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel. If unresponsive, check the touchscreen controller connection internally. Replace the touchscreen assembly if hardware failure is confirmed. - Storage Media Error
- The CompactFlash card or hard disk is not detected or has read/write errors.
Check that the storage medium is properly seated. Replace the CompactFlash card or HDD if errors persist. Restore the OS image from a backup.

Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector. Verify the power LED status. Measure voltage at the internal power supply output.
Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within tolerance. Replace the internal power supply board if no output voltage is present. Check and replace the backlight inverter or display panel if power supply is confirmed good.
Touchscreen does not respond to input
Determine whether the issue is a calibration problem or a hardware failure by attempting to use a USB mouse. Check Device Manager for touchscreen controller errors.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows Control Panel utility. If the controller is not recognized, check internal ribbon cable connections. Replace the touchscreen assembly if the hardware is faulty.
Panel PC fails to boot and shows BIOS error
Listen for POST beep codes and note any error messages on screen. Check whether the CompactFlash card or hard disk is detected in BIOS.
Reseat the storage medium and memory modules. Restore the operating system image to the CompactFlash card using a Siemens recovery image. Replace the storage medium if it is defective.
WinCC Runtime does not start after Windows boot
Check the Windows Event Viewer for application errors. Verify that the WinCC license dongle or software license is present and valid.
Reinstall or repair the WinCC Runtime installation. Restore the project files from a backup. Ensure the correct license is activated and the license file is not corrupted.
Ethernet communication to PLC is intermittent or lost
Check the Ethernet cable and port for physical damage. Verify IP address and subnet mask settings in Windows Network Connections. Use ping to test connectivity to the PLC.
Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Reconfigure the IP settings if incorrect. Update the network adapter driver if necessary. Check the PLC-side communication configuration for matching parameters.
