€ 2.007,00
The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA30-0AH0 is a Mobile Panel 170, part of the SIMATIC Mobile Panel series from Siemens. It is a portable, handheld HMI device designed for flexible operator control and monitoring of machines and plant systems. The unit provides a robust, ergonomic form factor suited for mobile use in industrial environments where fixed panel installation is not practical.
The Mobile Panel 170 features a 5.7-inch STN color display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA) and touch screen input combined with configurable function keys for versatile operator interaction. It connects to the control system via a coiled cable with integrated PROFIBUS DP interface, enabling communication with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs as well as other PROFIBUS-compatible controllers. The device includes an integrated enabling button (three-position) and an emergency stop button, meeting safety requirements for personnel protection during setup and maintenance operations. It is configured using Siemens ProTool or WinCC flexible engineering software.
The Mobile Panel 170 is widely used in the automotive, mechanical engineering, and process industries for machine setup, commissioning, and maintenance tasks where the operator needs to move freely around the machine. Its integrated safety functions — the enabling switch and emergency stop — make it particularly suitable for use in safety-relevant applications during manual operation modes. The portable design allows a single operator to monitor and control equipment from multiple vantage points without being restricted to a fixed control station.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 10000
- Connection to the PLC could not be established or was interrupted during operation.
Check the PROFIBUS cable connection and termination resistors. Verify the PLC is powered and the PROFIBUS address is correctly configured on both the panel and PLC. - Event ID: 10001
- Communication timeout — no response received from the configured PLC within the expected time window.
Check PROFIBUS network integrity, cable length, and baud rate settings. Ensure the PLC program is running and not in STOP mode. - Event ID: 20000
- Project download failed or project data on the device is corrupted or missing.
Re-download the project from WinCC flexible or ProTool to the Mobile Panel. Check USB/serial transfer cable and software version compatibility. - Event ID: 40000
- Device internal temperature exceeded the permissible operating range.
Move the device to a cooler environment. Check that ventilation around the device is not obstructed. Allow the unit to cool before resuming operation. - Event ID: 50000
- Enabling switch not in the correct position for the requested operation mode.
Ensure the three-position enabling switch is held in the middle (enabled) position during setup or manual operation. Release and re-engage if the device does not respond. - Emergency Stop Active
- The integrated emergency stop button on the Mobile Panel has been actuated.
Identify and resolve the cause of the emergency stop activation. Unlock the emergency stop button by rotating it, then reset the safety circuit from the control system before resuming operation. - Event ID: 60000
- System software or firmware error detected on the Mobile Panel.
Perform a power cycle of the device. If the fault persists, reload the firmware using the appropriate Siemens update tool and re-download the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which PLCs are compatible with the Mobile Panel 170 (6AV7613-0AA30-0AH0)?
The Mobile Panel 170 communicates via PROFIBUS DP and is compatible with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs, as well as other PROFIBUS DP-capable controllers. It can also be used with S5 PLCs via appropriate PROFIBUS configuration.
What engineering software is required to configure this Mobile Panel?
The 6AV7613-0AA30-0AH0 is configured using Siemens ProTool or WinCC flexible. WinCC flexible is the preferred tool for newer projects, while ProTool supports legacy configurations.
Does this Mobile Panel include integrated safety functions?
Yes, the Mobile Panel 170 includes a three-position enabling switch and an integrated emergency stop button, making it suitable for safety-relevant manual operation and setup tasks on machinery.
What is the display type and resolution of the Mobile Panel 170?
The device features a 5.7-inch STN color LCD with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA) and supports 256 colors, combined with a resistive touchscreen and physical function keys.
What is the operating voltage of the 6AV7613-0AA30-0AH0?
The Mobile Panel 170 operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is typically provided through the connecting cable from the junction box or control cabinet.
Troubleshooting
Display remains blank after power on
Check that 24 V DC is present at the power supply connector on the junction box or cable. Inspect the coiled connecting cable for damage or broken conductors.
Restore the 24 V DC supply if absent. Replace the connecting cable if damaged. If the supply is correct and the display remains blank, the internal display or power board may require repair or replacement.
PROFIBUS communication fault — panel cannot connect to PLC
Verify the PROFIBUS address set on the Mobile Panel matches the address configured in the PLC project. Check cable termination at both ends of the PROFIBUS segment and measure cable continuity.
Correct any address mismatch in the panel configuration or PLC project. Ensure termination resistors are active only at the two physical ends of the PROFIBUS network. Replace the cable if continuity is broken.
Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately
Check for physical damage to the touchscreen surface. Attempt a touchscreen recalibration through the device's system settings menu if accessible.
Perform a touchscreen calibration via the operating system settings. If calibration does not resolve the issue, the touchscreen overlay may need to be replaced by a qualified repair technician.
Emergency stop cannot be reset after actuation
Confirm the emergency stop button has been physically unlocked by rotating the button head. Check the safety relay or safety circuit in the control cabinet for a latched fault condition.
Rotate the emergency stop button to release it mechanically. Reset the safety circuit from the control system. If the circuit does not reset, inspect the safety relay wiring and contacts for faults.
Project fails to download to the Mobile Panel
Check the version compatibility between the WinCC flexible or ProTool project and the firmware version on the device. Verify the transfer cable and communication port settings on the engineering PC.
Update the device firmware to match the project software version if a mismatch exists. Use the correct transfer cable (serial or USB adapter) and ensure the correct COM port and baud rate are selected in the engineering software.
