Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AA32-0BF0 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 flat-panel display with an integrated industrial PC platform, offering a compact and robust solution for process visualization and control.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7613-0AA32-0BF0 features a 12.1-inch TFT color display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and resistive touch screen technology. It is equipped with an Intel Celeron processor and runs on a Windows-based operating system, supporting SIMATIC WinCC and other Siemens HMI software packages. The unit provides standard industrial communication interfaces including Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and serial interfaces (RS-232), and is designed for front-panel mounting with an IP65-rated front bezel for protection against dust and water ingress.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in the manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, and chemical processing industries. It is suited for applications requiring a dedicated visualization workstation integrated directly into a control cabinet door or operator panel. Its fanless or low-maintenance design options and industrial-grade components make it appropriate for continuous operation in environments with vibration, temperature variation, and electromagnetic interference.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100000: Runtime system startup error — the WinCC or HMI runtime application failed to start correctly.
Check the integrity of the installed HMI software. Reinstall WinCC Runtime if necessary and verify the project configuration.
Event ID: 110000: Communication connection to PLC lost — the Panel PC cannot establish or maintain a connection to the configured controller.
Check Ethernet or serial cable connections, verify IP address settings, and confirm the PLC is powered and running.
Event ID: 120000: Tag read/write error — a configured process tag could not be read from or written to the connected controller.
Verify tag names and addresses in the project configuration. Check PLC data block definitions match the HMI tag configuration.
Event ID: 130000: System memory low — available RAM or storage memory has fallen below the minimum threshold for stable operation.
Close unnecessary applications, check for memory leaks in the HMI project, and consider upgrading RAM or clearing the CompactFlash/hard disk.
Event ID: 140000: Hardware watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has detected that the operating system or application has stopped responding.
Perform a controlled restart of the Panel PC. If the fault recurs, check for software conflicts or corrupted OS installation.
Event ID: 150000: Screen/display hardware fault — the display backlight or panel has reported a hardware error.
Check display cable connections internally. If the backlight has failed, replace the backlight inverter or the display assembly.
Event ID: 160000: Fan failure or thermal overtemperature warning — internal temperature has exceeded safe operating limits.
Check that ventilation slots are unobstructed. Verify ambient temperature is within specification. Inspect and replace any failed cooling fans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating system does the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 6AV7613-0AA32-0BF0 run?

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is designed to run Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional, depending on the factory configuration ordered. It supports Siemens SIMATIC WinCC and ProTool/Pro Runtime HMI software.

What is the supply voltage for this Panel PC?

The 6AV7613-0AA32-0BF0 operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for SIMATIC Panel PC 670 units intended for industrial cabinet installation.

Is the front panel of this unit protected against dust and liquids?

Yes, the front bezel of the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is rated IP65, providing full protection against dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets.

What HMI software is compatible with this Panel PC?

This unit is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC flexible, and ProTool/Pro Runtime. It can also run third-party SCADA and visualization software compatible with Windows.

Can this Panel PC communicate directly with Siemens S7 PLCs?

Yes, the Panel PC 670 supports communication with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet using the S7 protocol, and can also use MPI or PROFIBUS with appropriate adapter hardware.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power is applied

Check that 24 V DC is present at the power input connector. Measure voltage at the internal power supply output. Inspect the display backlight inverter and display cable connections.

Restore correct 24 V DC supply if absent. If supply is correct but display is blank, replace the backlight inverter board or the TFT display assembly.

Touch screen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Attempt to recalibrate the touch screen through the Windows control panel or SIMATIC touch calibration utility. Check for physical damage or contamination on the screen surface.

Perform a touch screen recalibration. Clean the screen surface with a soft cloth. If calibration fails repeatedly, the resistive touch overlay may need replacement.

Panel PC fails to boot or continuously restarts

Check the CompactFlash card or hard disk for errors using a bootable diagnostic tool. Verify the operating system installation is intact. Check for corrupted boot sector.

Run a disk check utility (chkdsk) on the storage medium. If the OS is corrupted, restore from a system backup image or reinstall the operating system and HMI software.

Loss of communication with the PLC during operation

Check Ethernet cable integrity and connector seating. Verify IP address configuration on both the Panel PC and PLC. Check for network switch or hub faults between devices.

Replace faulty Ethernet cable. Correct IP address or subnet mask mismatches. If using S7 protocol, verify the connection parameters in the WinCC project match the PLC configuration.

System clock loses time after power off

The real-time clock battery on the motherboard may be discharged. This is common on older units that have been in storage or service for several years.

Replace the CMOS battery on the Panel PC motherboard (typically a CR2032 coin cell). After replacement, reset the system date and time in the BIOS settings.
