Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA22-0AJ0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial-grade panel computer designed for demanding human-machine interface (HMI) and visualization tasks in automation environments. This unit combines a flat-panel display with an integrated PC platform, offering a compact and robust solution for process visualization and control.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA22-0AJ0) features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and supports touch screen operation. It is equipped with an x86-compatible processor and runs Microsoft Windows operating systems, supporting SIMATIC WinCC and other Siemens HMI software packages. The unit provides standard PC interfaces including USB, serial (COM), and Ethernet ports, and is built with an aluminum front panel rated to IP65 for protection against dust and water ingress from the front side.

This Panel PC is widely used in the manufacturing, automotive, chemical, and food and beverage industries for machine-level and plant-level visualization. Its fanless or low-maintenance design options make it suitable for environments where reliability and reduced maintenance intervals are critical. The integration capability with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs and PROFIBUS/PROFINET networks makes it a natural fit for Siemens-based automation architectures.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly or a hardware initialization error occurred during POST.
Check the storage medium (CompactFlash or hard disk) for integrity. Reseat memory modules and verify all internal connections. Reload or reinstall the operating system if necessary.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault — a WinCC or HMI runtime application has crashed or become unresponsive.
Restart the HMI runtime application. Check the application event log for details. Update or reinstall the WinCC runtime software if the fault persists.
Event ID: 7000: Service failed to start — a required Windows service did not start during system boot.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for the specific service name. Ensure the service is set to automatic startup and that all dependencies are running.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or PROFIBUS/PROFINET network.
Verify Ethernet or PROFIBUS cable connections. Check IP address configuration and network settings. Confirm the PLC is online and the correct communication driver is configured in WinCC.
Watchdog Timeout: The system watchdog has triggered due to the operating system or application becoming unresponsive.
Perform a controlled restart of the Panel PC. Investigate CPU load and running processes. If recurring, check for software conflicts or hardware faults on the motherboard.
Temperature Warning: Internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the normal operating threshold.
Check that ventilation slots are not blocked. Verify ambient temperature is within the specified operating range (0 °C to +50 °C). Clean any dust filters or cooling surfaces.
Display Backlight Fault: The display backlight has failed or is operating below normal brightness levels.
Replace the backlight inverter board or the TFT display assembly. Check the backlight power connector for secure contact.
Storage Medium Error: The CompactFlash card or hard disk drive is not detected or has reported read/write errors.
Reseat the CompactFlash card or HDD. Replace the storage medium if errors persist. Restore the operating system and application software from a backup image.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA22-0AJ0)?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 supports Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Embedded, depending on the specific variant ordered. It is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and WinCC flexible HMI software.

What is the supply voltage for this Panel PC?

The 6AV7613-0AA22-0AJ0 operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series devices.

Is the 6AV7613-0AA22-0AJ0 compatible with SIMATIC S7 PLCs?

Yes, this Panel PC is fully compatible with Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet (PROFINET) or PROFIBUS communication interfaces when configured with the appropriate WinCC drivers.

What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA22-0AJ0 is rated to IP65, providing complete protection against dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets.

Can the display or touchscreen be replaced as a spare part?

Yes, the TFT display assembly and resistive touchscreen digitizer are available as spare parts and can be replaced by a qualified technician. It is recommended to source replacement parts from Siemens or an authorized repair center.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Verify the backlight inverter is receiving power and listen for the startup beep indicating the PC has posted successfully.

If the PC is booting but the display is blank, replace the backlight inverter or TFT display assembly. If there is no power at all, check the external power supply and internal fuse.

Touchscreen does not respond or registers incorrect touch positions

Check if the touchscreen is calibrated correctly within the operating system. Inspect the touchscreen ribbon cable connection to the controller board for damage or looseness.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility. If calibration does not resolve the issue, replace the resistive touchscreen digitizer overlay.

Panel PC fails to boot and shows a black screen with no POST activity

Reseat the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive and RAM modules. Attempt to boot from an external USB device to determine if the storage medium has failed.

Replace the CompactFlash card or HDD and reinstall the operating system and WinCC runtime from a backup image. If the unit still does not POST, the motherboard may require replacement or professional repair.

Loss of communication with the PLC during operation

Check the Ethernet or PROFIBUS cable connections at both the Panel PC and the PLC. Verify the IP address settings and subnet configuration in WinCC and the network adapter settings.

Replace faulty cables or connectors. Reconfigure the network settings to ensure the Panel PC and PLC are on the same subnet. Restart the WinCC runtime and re-establish the communication channel.

Unit overheats and shuts down unexpectedly

Inspect the rear ventilation area for dust accumulation or blockage. Measure the ambient temperature at the installation location to confirm it is within the 0 °C to +50 °C operating range.

Clean all ventilation surfaces and ensure adequate clearance around the unit for airflow. If the ambient temperature is too high, install additional cabinet cooling. Check that the internal fan (if fitted) is operating correctly.
