Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA30-0BE0 is a Panel PC belonging to the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 series, manufactured by Siemens. It is an industrial panel-mounted PC designed for demanding human-machine interface (HMI) and visualization tasks in industrial environments. This unit combines a flat-panel display with an integrated PC platform, offering a compact all-in-one solution for process visualization and machine control.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA30-0BE0) features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and a touch-sensitive screen for operator interaction. It is equipped with standard PC interfaces including USB ports, serial interfaces (COM ports), and Ethernet connectivity, enabling integration with SIMATIC S7 controllers and other automation systems via PROFINET or standard TCP/IP networks. The unit runs on a Windows-based operating system and supports SIMATIC WinCC flexible or WinCC runtime software for HMI visualization. The robust industrial housing is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65 protection rating on the front face.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in the automotive, chemical, food and beverage, and manufacturing industries for machine-level visualization and supervisory control applications. Its PC-based architecture makes it suitable for applications requiring data logging, recipe management, and integration with MES or SCADA systems. The combination of a touch interface and full PC functionality allows it to serve as both an operator panel and a local data processing unit on the production floor.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly, possibly due to corrupted system files or a failed storage medium.
Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors. Reinstall or restore the operating system image if necessary.
Event ID: 1000: Application fault — the HMI runtime software (e.g. WinCC flexible Runtime) has crashed or terminated unexpectedly.
Restart the runtime application. Check the application event log for details. Reinstall the runtime software if the fault persists.
Event ID: 10000: Communication error — loss of connection between the Panel PC and the connected PLC or automation controller.
Check Ethernet or serial cable connections. Verify IP address configuration and PLC communication settings in the HMI project.
Event ID: 10001: Tag read/write error — the HMI runtime is unable to read from or write to a configured PLC tag.
Verify the PLC is in RUN mode and the tag addresses in the HMI project are correct. Check network connectivity and driver configuration.
Event ID: 10002: License error — a required software license for the runtime or an installed option package is missing or invalid.
Check the installed licenses using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Transfer or restore the required license to the device.
Event ID: 10003: Watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has detected that the application or operating system has stopped responding.
Perform a controlled restart of the Panel PC. Investigate CPU load and running processes. Update or reinstall the runtime software if the issue recurs.
Event ID: 10004: Storage medium error — read/write errors detected on the CompactFlash card or internal hard disk.
Back up project data immediately. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk and restore the system image and HMI project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AA30-0BE0) run?

This unit runs Windows XP Embedded, which is pre-installed and optimized for industrial HMI applications using Siemens WinCC flexible or WinCC runtime software.

What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

The Panel PC 670 is compatible with SIMATIC WinCC flexible Runtime and SIMATIC WinCC (TIA Portal compatible versions). It can also run other Windows-compatible SCADA or visualization software.

What is the front panel protection rating of the 6AV7613-0AA30-0BE0?

The front panel of this unit carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and water jets, suitable for industrial panel mounting environments.

Can this Panel PC communicate directly with SIMATIC S7 PLCs?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet (PROFINET/TCP/IP) using the appropriate WinCC communication drivers.

What storage medium does this Panel PC use?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 typically uses a CompactFlash card or an internal hard disk drive as its primary storage medium for the operating system and HMI project data.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check that 24 V DC supply voltage is present at the power connector. Verify the power LED status. Measure supply voltage at the input terminals.

Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within tolerance. Check internal fuses if accessible. If the backlight has failed, the display inverter or backlight assembly may need replacement.

Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Determine whether the issue is a complete lack of response or positional inaccuracy. Check if the touch driver is loaded correctly in the operating system Device Manager.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows calibration utility in the Control Panel. If calibration does not resolve the issue, check the touch controller connection internally or replace the touchscreen assembly.

Panel PC fails to boot or operating system does not start

Observe the boot sequence on the display. Check whether the BIOS detects the CompactFlash card or hard disk. Listen for any POST error beeps.

Reseat the CompactFlash card. If the storage medium is corrupted, restore the factory system image using a Siemens recovery image. Replace the CompactFlash card if it is faulty.

Loss of communication with PLC during runtime

Check the Ethernet cable connection and link LEDs on the RJ45 port. Ping the PLC IP address from the Panel PC command prompt to verify network connectivity.

Replace the Ethernet cable if faulty. Verify IP address settings on both the Panel PC and PLC. Check the communication driver configuration in the WinCC project and restart the runtime application.

Runtime software crashes repeatedly or freezes

Check the Windows event log for application errors. Monitor CPU and memory usage using Task Manager. Verify that the installed runtime software version is compatible with the project file.

Reinstall the WinCC runtime software. Ensure all Windows updates and Siemens patches applicable to the XP Embedded image are applied. If hardware-related, check for overheating by verifying fan operation and ambient temperature.
