Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV2124-0QC24-1AX0 is a 12-inch widescreen touch panel belonging to the SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panel series, manufactured by Siemens. It is a high-performance operator panel designed for demanding machine-level visualization and control tasks in industrial automation environments. This unit features a TFT widescreen display and is part of the second-generation Comfort Panel lineup (Comfort V2), offering enhanced performance and expanded functionality over its predecessors.

The panel is equipped with a 12.1-inch widescreen TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and 16 million colors, delivering clear and detailed process visualization. It supports both touch and optional key operation, and includes interfaces such as PROFINET, MPI/PROFIBUS DP, USB, and an SD card slot for flexible connectivity and data management. The panel runs on a 24 V DC supply and features 24 MB user memory for projects, along with support for Sm@rtServer, VNC, and OPC UA communication for remote access and integration. The robust aluminum die-cast front frame provides IP65 protection on the front face.

The SIMATIC TP1200 Comfort is widely used in machine building, automotive manufacturing, food and beverage processing, and water treatment facilities. Its large display area and high resolution make it suitable for complex HMI applications requiring detailed graphics, trend displays, and multi-language support. The panel integrates seamlessly with Siemens SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs, as well as third-party controllers via open communication protocols.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 10000: Communication error between HMI panel and PLC controller. Connection to the configured PLC could not be established or was interrupted.
Check PROFINET or MPI/PROFIBUS DP cable connections and network settings. Verify PLC is powered and running. Confirm IP address and station address configuration in the HMI project matches the PLC settings.
Event ID: 10001: Tag read error. The HMI panel is unable to read a configured tag from the PLC.
Verify the tag address exists in the PLC program and has not been modified. Check communication connection status and re-download the HMI project if tag addresses have changed.
Event ID: 10002: Tag write error. The HMI panel is unable to write a value to a configured PLC tag.
Confirm the PLC tag is not write-protected and the data type matches the HMI configuration. Check communication link and PLC operating mode (must be in RUN mode for write access).
Event ID: 20000: Project download error. Transfer of the HMI project from the engineering station to the panel failed.
Ensure the panel is in Transfer mode. Verify the network connection between the PC and the panel. Check that the WinCC project is compiled without errors before initiating transfer.
Event ID: 40000: System memory low. Available memory for runtime operation is critically low.
Reduce the number of active alarms, logged data, or recipe entries. Archive and clear alarm and data logs. Consider optimizing the project to reduce memory usage.
Event ID: 50000: Backup/restore error. A backup or restore operation of the panel configuration or project data failed.
Check the SD card or USB storage device for errors and sufficient free space. Reformat the storage medium if necessary and retry the backup or restore operation.
Event ID: 70000: Screen saver or display error. The display has not responded correctly or the backlight has a fault condition.
Check the 24 V DC power supply voltage level. If the backlight has failed, the panel display unit may require replacement. Verify operating temperature is within the specified range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What PLC systems are compatible with the 6AV2124-0QC24-1AX0?

This panel is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs via PROFINET or MPI/PROFIBUS DP. It also supports communication with third-party controllers using open protocols such as OPC UA and Modbus TCP.

What software is required to program this HMI panel?

The panel is configured using Siemens TIA Portal with the WinCC Comfort/Advanced engineering software. A valid TIA Portal license for Comfort Panels is required to create and download projects.

What is the display resolution of this panel?

The 6AV2124-0QC24-1AX0 has a display resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels on a 12.1-inch widescreen TFT display, supporting up to 16 million colors.

Does this panel support remote access?

Yes, the panel supports remote monitoring and control via the integrated Sm@rtServer and VNC server functionality, allowing remote access from a PC or mobile device over an Ethernet network.

What is the front panel protection rating of this unit?

The front face of the panel carries an IP65 protection rating, making it suitable for installation in environments where water spray and dust ingress protection is required.

Troubleshooting

Display remains blank after power on

Measure the 24 V DC supply voltage at the power connector on the rear of the panel. Check that voltage is within the acceptable range (19.2 V to 28.8 V DC). Inspect the internal fuse if accessible.

Restore the supply voltage to the correct level. If the supply is correct but the display remains blank, the backlight or internal power supply board may have failed and the panel should be sent for repair or the display unit replaced.

HMI panel cannot establish communication with the PLC

Verify the PROFINET IP address settings on both the panel and PLC match the project configuration. Check the Ethernet cable and switch connections. Use the panel's diagnostic screen to view connection status.

Correct any IP address mismatches in the TIA Portal project and re-download to both devices. Replace faulty Ethernet cables or switch ports. Ensure the PLC is in RUN mode and the PROFINET interface is enabled.

Touch screen does not respond or responds inaccurately

Check for physical damage or contamination on the touch surface. Attempt to recalibrate the touch screen via the panel's Start Center or Control Panel settings.

Clean the touch surface with a soft, dry cloth. Perform a touch screen recalibration through the Start Center. If the touch screen continues to malfunction, the touch foil or front panel assembly may require replacement.

Project transfer from TIA Portal fails

Confirm the panel is set to Transfer mode. Verify the PC and panel are on the same network subnet and that no firewall is blocking the transfer port. Check TIA Portal for project compilation errors.

Set the panel to Transfer mode via the Start Center. Resolve any compilation errors in TIA Portal before retrying. Temporarily disable PC firewall software during transfer if network connectivity is confirmed but transfer still fails.

Panel repeatedly restarts or shows a runtime error on startup

Check if the project stored on the panel is corrupted or incompatible with the panel firmware version. Connect via TIA Portal and review the diagnostics buffer for specific event IDs.

Update the panel firmware to the version compatible with the TIA Portal project. Re-download the compiled project to the panel. If the issue persists, perform a factory reset via the Start Center and re-download the project from scratch.
