– If the PC still crashes, you must contact your technical support team. – If the error no longer occurs, the module you used from another manufactu- rer was the cause of the fault. Replace this module with a Siemens module, or contact the module supplier.
The Monitor Remains Dark Cause and Remedy The following causes are possible: The monitor has been switched off. S Switch on the monitor. The monitor is in “powersave” mode. S Press any key on the keyboard. The brightness button has been set to dark. S Set the screen’s brightness button to obtain more light.
The Screen Display Does not Appear or Drifts Cause and Remedy Either the incorrect line frequency and/or the incorrect resolution is set for the screen or for the user program. S Stop the user program. If the error still occurs after you have ended the pro- gram, switch off the monitor.
The Clock Time and/or the Date in Your PC Is Incorrect Remedy Set the clock time and the date in the setup menu. Press <F2> to call setup when booting the computer. Note The battery is dead if the clock time and the date are still incorrect after you switch off your PC and switch it back on again.

Guidelines for handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) Overview of chapter In chapter What does ESD mean? Electrostatic charging Basic protective measures against discharge of static electricity SIMATIC Box PC 620 Manual A5E00131465-01 you will find on page...
What does ESD mean? Definition All electronic components are equipped with high–integrated modules or components. Conditioned by their technology, these electronic components are extremely sensitive to overvoltages and therefore to discharges of static electricity. The short term ESD has been adopted for these Electrostatic Sensitive Devices/ assemblies.
Electrostatic charging Charging Anyone who is not conductively connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings can be electrostatically charged. The maximum electrostatic voltage values which an operator can be charged with when contacting the materials stated in the illustration are shown in Fig. A–1. These values correspond to the specifications of IEC 801–2.
Basic protective measures against discharge of static electricity Ensuring a good ground connection When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, ensure that your person, the workplace and packaging are grounded. In this manner you avoid static charge. Avoid direct contact As a general principle, only touch electrostatic sensitive devices when this is unavoidable (e.g.
