Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV7613-0AB32-0BJ0 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, providing a compact all-in-one solution for process visualization and control.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AB32-0BJ0) features a 12-inch TFT display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels (SVGA) and supports touch screen operation. 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 multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet (RJ45), USB ports, and serial interfaces (RS-232), and is designed for panel mounting with a robust industrial-grade enclosure rated to IP65 on the front face.

The SIMATIC Panel PC 670 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, and machine tool industries where a reliable, integrated PC-based HMI solution is required. Its fanless or low-maintenance design options make it suitable for environments where dust and particulate contamination are concerns. The unit is commonly deployed in SCADA systems, production line visualization stations, and as an operator interface terminal in conjunction with Siemens S7 PLC systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 100: System startup error — the operating system failed to boot correctly or a critical system file is missing.
Check the hard disk or CompactFlash card for integrity. Reinstall or restore the operating system image using the Siemens recovery medium.
Event ID: 101: Hardware watchdog timeout — the system watchdog has triggered due to a software hang or system overload.
Restart the Panel PC. Check CPU load and running processes. Update or reinstall the HMI application if the issue persists.
Event ID: 200: Communication loss to PLC — the HMI application has lost its connection to the configured S7 PLC.
Check Ethernet or MPI cabling and connections. Verify PLC IP address or MPI address settings in WinCC or ProTool configuration.
Event ID: 201: Tag read/write error — a configured process tag could not be read from or written to the connected controller.
Verify the tag address in the HMI project configuration. Check PLC program for the corresponding data block or variable.
Event ID: 300: Display backlight failure — the TFT backlight has failed or is operating below normal brightness levels.
Replace the backlight inverter board or the TFT display assembly. Check the backlight power supply connector on the display board.
Event ID: 400: Touchscreen calibration error — the touchscreen input is misaligned or unresponsive after startup.
Run the touchscreen calibration utility from the Windows Control Panel or Siemens SIMATIC ProSave tool. If unresponsive, check the touch controller ribbon cable connection.
Event ID: 500: Storage medium error — the CompactFlash card or hard disk drive is reporting read/write errors or is not detected.
Replace the CompactFlash card or HDD. Restore the operating system and HMI project from a backup image using the Siemens recovery procedure.
Event ID: 600: Power supply undervoltage — the 24 V DC supply voltage has dropped below the minimum operating threshold.
Measure the 24 V DC supply at the power connector. Ensure the power supply unit is rated for the Panel PC load and check wiring for voltage drop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What operating systems are supported by the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 (6AV7613-0AB32-0BJ0)?

The Panel PC 670 supports Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000, depending on the factory configuration ordered. It is compatible with SIMATIC WinCC, WinCC flexible, and ProTool HMI software packages.

What is the supply voltage for the 6AV7613-0AB32-0BJ0?

The unit operates on a 24 V DC supply voltage, which is standard for SIMATIC Panel PC 670 devices.

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

The front panel of the 6AV7613-0AB32-0BJ0 is rated to IP65, making it resistant to dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for industrial cabinet door mounting.

Is the 6AV7613-0AB32-0BJ0 compatible with Siemens S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs?

Yes, the SIMATIC Panel PC 670 can communicate with S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs via Ethernet (TCP/IP) or through appropriate communication cards. WinCC or WinCC flexible projects can be configured with S7 drivers for seamless integration.

Can the CompactFlash card or hard disk be replaced in the field?

Yes, the storage medium (CompactFlash card or HDD depending on the variant) is accessible and can be replaced in the field. A system image backup should be created beforehand and restored to the new medium using Siemens SIMATIC ProSave or the recovery tool.

Troubleshooting

Panel PC does not power on after 24 V DC is applied

Measure the 24 V DC voltage at the power supply connector on the rear of the unit. Check for blown internal fuses and inspect the power supply board for visible damage.

Ensure the 24 V DC supply is within tolerance (typically 20.4–28.8 V DC). Replace any blown fuses with the correct rating. If the internal power supply board is faulty, replace the power supply module.

Display is blank but the system appears to be running (LEDs active, HDD activity)

Check the TFT backlight by observing the screen at an angle with a flashlight to determine if the image is present but not illuminated. Inspect the backlight inverter board and its connector.

Replace the backlight inverter board or the complete TFT display assembly. Verify the display cable connections between the mainboard and the display panel are secure.

Touchscreen input is inaccurate or not responding

Attempt to access the touchscreen calibration utility via keyboard or mouse input. Check Device Manager in Windows for touchscreen controller errors or missing drivers.

Recalibrate the touchscreen using the Windows Control Panel calibration tool or Siemens SIMATIC ProSave. If the controller is not detected, reseat the touch controller ribbon cable or replace the touchscreen assembly.

HMI application loses communication with the PLC intermittently

Check the Ethernet cable and switch/hub connections. Use the ping command to test network connectivity to the PLC. Review WinCC or WinCC flexible diagnostic logs for communication error timestamps.

Replace the Ethernet cable if damaged. Verify the network configuration (IP address, subnet mask) in both the Panel PC and the PLC. Adjust the communication timeout settings in the HMI project if the network has high latency.

System boots to a blue screen or fails to load Windows

Attempt to boot from the recovery medium. Run a disk check (chkdsk) on the storage medium. Check the CompactFlash card or HDD for physical damage or connector issues.

Restore the operating system image using the Siemens recovery CD or USB medium. If the storage medium is faulty, replace the CompactFlash card or HDD and restore the system image and HMI project from backup.
