Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA30-0BH0 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 automation environments. This unit combines a built-in display with a full PC architecture, enabling advanced process visualization, data acquisition, and control functions.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7613-0AA30-0BH0 features a 15-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA) and a touch-sensitive front panel for operator interaction. It is built around an industrial-grade x86 processor platform running Microsoft Windows, with multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet (RJ45) and standard PC ports such as USB and serial interfaces. The unit is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65-rated front bezel, providing protection against dust and water ingress in industrial environments. Internal expansion options and CompactFlash or hard disk storage support flexible application deployment.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, and machine building applications where a full PC-based HMI solution is required. It is suitable for industries such as automotive, food and beverage, chemical processing, and packaging, where complex visualization software, recipe management, and data logging are needed alongside real-time process control. Its robust industrial construction and compatibility with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and other SCADA software make it a reliable platform for supervisory control and data acquisition tasks.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100001: Runtime software startup failure — the HMI visualization runtime application failed to initialize correctly on boot.
Check Windows event log for detailed error messages. Reinstall or repair the SIMATIC WinCC or ProTool runtime software. Verify that all required software licenses are present.
Event ID: 110001: Communication connection to PLC lost — the Panel PC cannot establish or maintain a connection to the configured SIMATIC controller.
Verify Ethernet or MPI cable connections. Check PLC address configuration in the HMI project. Confirm the PLC is powered and in RUN mode. Reload the HMI project if configuration has changed.
Event ID: 120001: Tag read/write error — a configured process tag could not be read from or written to the connected controller.
Check the tag address configuration in the HMI project. Verify that the corresponding data block or memory address exists in the PLC program. Check communication link status.
Event ID: 130001: License missing or invalid — a required software license for the runtime application is not found or has expired.
Check installed licenses using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Install or transfer the correct license for the installed runtime version and configured tag count.
Event ID: 140001: Storage medium error — the internal hard disk or CompactFlash card has reported a read/write error or is not detected.
Check the storage device connection internally. Run a disk check utility from Windows. Replace the CompactFlash card or hard disk if errors persist. Restore the system image from backup.
Event ID: 150001: System temperature warning — the internal temperature of the Panel PC has exceeded the recommended operating threshold.
Check that the installation environment is within the specified 0–45 °C range. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Verify that any installed cooling fans are operational. Reduce ambient temperature if possible.
Event ID: 160001: Operating system boot failure — Windows fails to start correctly, possibly due to corrupted system files or storage device failure.
Attempt Windows startup repair from the recovery partition or external media. If the storage device is faulty, replace it and restore the factory system image using the Siemens restore CD or backup image.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7613-0AA30-0BH0 run?

What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

The 6AV7613-0AA30-0BH0 is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC flexible, and ProTool runtime software. It can also run third-party SCADA and visualization software compatible with the Windows operating system.

What is the display size and resolution of this unit?

The unit features a 15-inch TFT color LCD display with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels (XGA format).

What is the front panel protection rating of this Panel PC?

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AA30-0BH0 carries an IP65 protection rating, making it resistant to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for panel-mounting in industrial enclosures.

Can this Panel PC communicate directly with Siemens S7 PLCs?

Yes, via the onboard Ethernet interface the Panel PC can communicate with SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs using the S7 protocol. Additional communication options such as MPI or PROFIBUS may be available through expansion cards.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Check that 24 V DC supply voltage is present at the power input connector. Verify the power LED status. Measure supply voltage with a multimeter to confirm it is within tolerance.

Ensure the 24 V DC supply is stable and within specification. If the supply is correct but the display remains blank, the internal power supply board or the display backlight inverter may be faulty and require replacement.

Touchscreen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Determine whether the issue is a complete lack of response or positional inaccuracy. Check if the touchscreen is recognized in Windows Device Manager. Attempt touchscreen recalibration via the Windows control panel or Siemens touchscreen calibration utility.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the built-in calibration tool. If the touchscreen is not recognized at all, check the internal ribbon cable connection between the touch panel and the controller board. Replace the touch panel assembly if the hardware is defective.

Panel PC fails to boot Windows and displays a boot error

Observe the error message displayed during boot. Check whether the hard disk or CompactFlash storage device is detected in the BIOS setup. Listen for unusual sounds from the hard disk if fitted.

If the storage device is detected, attempt a Windows startup repair using the recovery partition or a Windows installation disc. If the storage device is not detected or has failed, replace it with a compatible unit and restore the system image from the Siemens factory restore media or a previously created backup.

Loss of communication between Panel PC and PLC

Check the Ethernet cable connection between the Panel PC and the PLC or network switch. Verify the IP address configuration of both the Panel PC and the PLC. Use the Windows ping command to test network connectivity.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Correct any IP address conflicts or misconfiguration. Reload the HMI project onto the Panel PC if communication settings have been altered. Check the PLC is in RUN mode and the communication driver is active.

System clock resets to incorrect date and time after power off

This is typically caused by a depleted internal CMOS battery on the motherboard. Confirm by powering off the unit for several hours and checking whether the clock resets again on next power on.

Replace the internal CMOS coin cell battery (typically CR2032) on the motherboard. Access the battery by opening the rear housing of the Panel PC following the appropriate safety and ESD precautions.
