🔍 Troubleshooting Guide
Touchscreen does not respond
Check the system startup status, touchscreen condition, connectors, and operating environment. If the display operates but touch input does not, inspect the touch interface and related software configuration.
Display is blank
Verify the 24 VDC supply and power wiring. Check whether the Panel PC completes its startup sequence and inspect the display connection.
EtherCAT communication is unavailable
Check the EtherCAT cable, network topology, controller configuration, and link status. Confirm that the correct interface is being used.
Ethernet communication fails
Inspect the RJ-45 connection, network cable, IP configuration, and connected automation equipment.
Panel PC repeatedly restarts
Check the 24 VDC supply for stability and verify that the installation environment is within the specified operating temperature range.
🌡️ Environmental Specifications
The CP26xx series is specified for an operating temperature range of 0 °C to +55 °C and transport/storage temperatures of −25 °C to +65 °C. The front side is rated IP65 and the rear side IP20. The CP2615-0000 has a listed weight of approximately 3.7 kg and typical power consumption for the 15-inch version is approximately 20 W.
