€ 2.007,00
The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA22-0CH0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel computer designed for demanding human-machine interface applications, combining a built-in display with a full PC architecture running a Windows-based operating system. This unit is intended for use as a high-performance operator station in industrial automation environments.
The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and integrates a fanless or fan-cooled processor architecture depending on the configuration. It supports communication via standard industrial interfaces including Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and serial interfaces, and is compatible with PROFIBUS and MPI through optional expansion cards. The unit is designed for panel mounting and operates on a 24 V DC supply, with an IP65 protection rating on the front face for resistance to dust and water ingress.
The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in the automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and machine tool industries as a central operator interface and data acquisition station. Its PC-based architecture allows it to run SCADA software, Siemens WinCC, and other HMI runtime environments simultaneously, making it suitable for complex visualization and process control tasks. The robust industrial housing and wide operating temperature range make it appropriate for installation in control cabinets and harsh production floor environments.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 100
- Operating system startup failure or boot error detected during POST sequence.
Check hard disk or CompactFlash card integrity. Verify BIOS settings and reseat storage media. Replace storage device if corrupted. - Event ID: 200
- Overtemperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded the defined threshold.
Check ambient temperature and ventilation around the panel. Clean air filters if present. Verify fan operation and reduce thermal load. - Event ID: 300
- Supply voltage out of range — 24 V DC input is outside the permissible tolerance.
Measure the 24 V DC supply at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit provides stable voltage within the specified range (typically 20.4–28.8 V DC). - Event ID: 400
- Watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has triggered due to a software hang or process failure.
Restart the Panel PC. Check running software processes for deadlocks. Update or reinstall the HMI runtime application if the issue recurs. - Event ID: 500
- Communication error on Ethernet or serial interface — loss of connection to PLC or SCADA system.
Check network cable connections and switch/hub status. Verify IP address configuration and firewall settings. Restart communication services. - Event ID: 600
- Touchscreen calibration error — touch input is misaligned or unresponsive.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows control panel or SIMATIC configuration tool. Clean the touchscreen surface and recalibrate. - Event ID: 700
- Hard disk or CompactFlash storage device failure or read/write error.
Run a disk diagnostic utility. Back up data immediately if possible. Replace the storage device with a compatible unit and restore the system image.

Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power is applied
Check the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector using a multimeter. Verify that the power LED indicator is active. Inspect internal fuses if accessible.
Restore the supply voltage to within the specified range. Replace any blown internal fuses. If the backlight has failed, the display inverter or backlight lamp may require replacement.
Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately
Determine whether the issue is a calibration problem or a hardware failure by observing if touch events register at all in the operating system device manager.
Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility or the SIMATIC Panel configuration tool. If the touchscreen is physically damaged or unresponsive after recalibration, replace the touch overlay assembly.
Panel PC fails to boot or continuously restarts
Observe the boot sequence for error messages. Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for physical seating and integrity. Connect an external monitor via VGA if available to isolate display issues.
Reseat the storage device. If the operating system is corrupted, restore the system image from a backup or Siemens recovery media. Replace the storage device if hardware failure is confirmed.
Loss of communication with PLC or SCADA system
Verify Ethernet cable connections and check the network switch. Ping the PLC IP address from the Panel PC command prompt to test network connectivity.
Replace faulty network cables. Reconfigure the IP address settings if there is an address conflict. Restart the WinCC or HMI runtime application and check the communication driver configuration.
System overheating or unexpected shutdown due to high temperature
Check the ambient temperature around the panel installation. Inspect ventilation slots and any cooling fans for blockage or failure. Review the system temperature via BIOS or a monitoring utility.
Improve cabinet ventilation or add active cooling. Clean dust from ventilation slots and fan assemblies. Ensure the operating ambient temperature does not exceed 45 °C as specified.
