Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 100
- System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to a corrupted CompactFlash card or missing system files.
Check and reseat the CompactFlash card. Restore or reinstall the operating system image using the Siemens recovery tool. - Event ID: 1000
- Application fault — the HMI or SCADA application (e.g. WinCC) has encountered an unexpected error and terminated.
Review the Windows Event Viewer log for details. Reinstall or repair the HMI application. Check for software version compatibility. - Event ID: 26
- Disk write error — the system was unable to write data to the CompactFlash storage device.
Check the CompactFlash card for errors using disk diagnostic tools. Replace the CompactFlash card if faults are detected. - Communication Error
- Loss of communication between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or automation controller via Ethernet or serial interface.
Verify network cable connections and IP address configuration. Check firewall settings and ensure the correct communication driver is installed and running. - 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 running processes for resource overloads. Ensure adequate CPU and memory resources are available for the HMI application. - Temperature Warning
- Internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Check that ventilation slots are unobstructed. Verify ambient temperature is within the 0 °C to +45 °C operating range. Clean any dust from cooling vents. - Power Supply Fault
- The 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the minimum operating threshold, causing unstable operation or shutdown.
Measure the supply voltage at the power input connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides a stable 24 V DC within the specified tolerance range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA22-0BF0) run?
The 6AV7613-0AA22-0BF0 is designed to run Windows XP Embedded or Windows 2000, depending on the configured variant. It supports standard Siemens HMI software such as WinCC flexible and WinCC.
What is the supply voltage for this Panel PC?
The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for industrial panel-mounted devices in automation environments.
Is the 6AV7613-0AA22-0BF0 compatible with Siemens S7 PLCs?
Yes, the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 supports communication with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet (TCP/IP, PROFINET) and MPI/PROFIBUS interfaces when appropriate communication cards are installed.
What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?
The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA22-0BF0 is rated to IP65, providing protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for industrial cabinet installations.
Can the CompactFlash card in this Panel PC be replaced or upgraded?
Yes, the CompactFlash card is accessible and can be replaced. It is used as the primary storage medium for the operating system and HMI application. Siemens recommends using industrial-grade CompactFlash cards for reliability.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power is applied
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power input connector. Verify that the supply is within tolerance. Inspect the internal fuse and backlight inverter board.
Restore the supply voltage to the correct level. Replace the backlight inverter or the TFT display panel if the backlight has failed. Check and replace the internal fuse if blown.
Touchscreen does not respond or is inaccurate
Determine whether the issue is a hardware fault or a calibration issue. Boot into the operating system and check if the touch controller is recognized in Device Manager.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows touchscreen calibration utility. If the controller is not recognized, reinstall the touch driver. Replace the touchscreen overlay if physical damage is present.
Panel PC fails to boot and shows a black screen or error message
A corrupted or failed CompactFlash card is the most common cause. Check if the BIOS detects the CompactFlash card during POST.
Reseat the CompactFlash card. If the card is not detected or is corrupted, replace it with a new industrial-grade CompactFlash card and restore the operating system image using the Siemens recovery procedure.
Loss of communication with PLC or network devices
Check the Ethernet cable and switch port. Verify the IP address configuration in Windows Network Settings. Confirm that the communication driver and WinCC project settings are correct.
Replace the Ethernet cable if faulty. Reconfigure the IP address to match the network subnet. Reinstall the communication driver if it has become corrupted. Verify PLC-side communication settings.
Unit overheats and shuts down unexpectedly
Check the ambient temperature around the Panel PC installation. Inspect ventilation slots for dust blockage. Monitor internal temperature via BIOS or system monitoring software.
Clean all ventilation slots and ensure the installation environment is within the 0 °C to +45 °C operating range. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for airflow. If the CPU fan is present and faulty, replace it.
