Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1AG10-0AX0 is a software license for SIMATIC WinCC, Siemens' professional SCADA and HMI runtime software platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license, part of the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product family, designed for use on standard PC-based hardware running Windows operating systems. It provides a scalable supervisory control and data acquisition environment for industrial process visualization and control.

WinCC offers a comprehensive set of features including tag-based licensing, a powerful graphics designer, alarm management, trend displays, and historical data logging. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and OPC DA/UA, enabling connectivity to Siemens S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs as well as third-party controllers. The platform includes a redundancy option, multi-user server-client architecture support, and an open scripting environment using VBScript and C-Script for custom automation logic.

SIMATIC WinCC is widely deployed in process industries such as water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, and automotive manufacturing. Its scalability from small single-station installations to large distributed multi-server systems makes it suitable for both standalone machine-level HMI applications and plant-wide SCADA systems. The software integrates tightly with the Siemens TIA Portal ecosystem and other SIMATIC products.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime could not be initialized due to a configuration or licensing error.
Verify that the WinCC license is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Check the WinCC diagnostics log for detailed error information.
Event ID: 1000002: Communication error to PLC. WinCC cannot establish or maintain a connection to the configured controller.
Check network cabling and PROFIBUS/PROFINET configuration. Verify PLC IP address or MPI address settings in the WinCC channel configuration. Ensure the PLC is powered and running.
Event ID: 1000003: Tag limit exceeded. The number of active process tags exceeds the licensed tag count for the installed runtime license.
Upgrade the WinCC runtime license to a higher tag count tier, or reduce the number of active tags in the project configuration.
Event ID: 1000004: Database connection failure. WinCC cannot connect to the underlying SQL Server database used for archiving and alarm logging.
Verify that Microsoft SQL Server is running on the WinCC station. Check SQL Server service status in Windows Services and review WinCC diagnostic logs for database error details.
Event ID: 1000005: License not found or invalid. No valid WinCC runtime license was detected on the system.
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and verify the license is present and not expired or transferred. Re-transfer the license from the license medium if necessary.
Event ID: 1000006: Redundancy switchover event. The active WinCC server has failed and the standby server has taken over operation.
Investigate the cause of failure on the primary server. Check hardware health, network connectivity, and Windows Event Viewer logs. Restore the primary server and re-synchronize the redundancy pair.
Event ID: 1000007: Archive overflow warning. The process value or alarm archive has reached its configured size limit.
Increase the archive size limit in the WinCC Tag Logging or Alarm Logging configuration, or configure automatic archiving and backup to an external storage location.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag capacity of the 6AV6371-1AG10-0AX0 WinCC license?

The exact tag count for this specific part number corresponds to a defined WinCC Runtime license tier. Siemens WinCC licenses are available in increments such as 128, 512, 2048, 8192, 65536, and 102400 tags. Refer to the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data sheet to confirm the tag count associated with this specific part number.

Is this WinCC license compatible with TIA Portal?

SIMATIC WinCC V7 is a standalone SCADA platform and is separate from WinCC in TIA Portal (WinCC Basic/Comfort/Advanced/Professional). The 6AV6371-1AG10-0AX0 is a WinCC V7 license intended for PC-based SCADA use, not for TIA Portal panel projects.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC runtime license?

SIMATIC WinCC V7 supports Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows Server editions as specified in the WinCC compatibility list for the installed version. It is recommended to consult the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC compatibility tool for the exact supported OS versions for the specific WinCC V7 release.

Can this WinCC license be used in a redundant server configuration?

Yes, WinCC V7 supports redundant server configurations, but a separate WinCC Redundancy option package must be licensed in addition to the base runtime license. Both the active and standby servers require their own runtime licenses.

What database does WinCC use for data archiving?

SIMATIC WinCC V7 uses Microsoft SQL Server as its underlying database engine for process value archiving, alarm logging, and user administration. SQL Server is installed automatically as part of the WinCC installation process.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error message

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license is present and active on the local machine or license server.

Transfer a valid WinCC runtime license to the engineering station using the ALM tool. If the license was previously on a USB dongle or another machine, ensure it has been correctly transferred. Contact Siemens support if the license appears corrupted.

WinCC shows all tags as invalid or communication status is red for all PLC connections

Check the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool to identify which communication channel is failing. Verify network connectivity to the PLC using a ping test and confirm the channel driver is correctly configured with the right PLC address.

Correct the PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address in the WinCC Tag Management channel configuration. Restart the WinCC channel driver and verify the PLC is in RUN mode and reachable on the network.

Historical trend data is not being recorded or is missing from archives

Check the WinCC Tag Logging configuration to verify that archiving is enabled for the relevant tags. Confirm that the SQL Server service is running and that the archive database has not exceeded its size limit.

Enable archiving on the required tags in Tag Logging, ensure SQL Server is running via Windows Services, and increase the archive size limit or configure automatic backup and cleanup of old archive data.

WinCC project opens but graphics screens are blank or display rendering errors

Check the WinCC Graphics Designer for any missing or corrupt picture files. Verify that all required WinCC options and add-ons referenced in the project are installed and licensed on the current machine.

Reinstall any missing WinCC option packages and ensure all picture files are present in the project directory. If migrating from another machine, use the WinCC project duplicator tool to ensure all project resources are correctly transferred.

Alarm logging stops recording new alarms after a period of operation

Check the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration for archive size limits and verify that the SQL Server database has sufficient disk space. Review the WinCC diagnostic log for any database write errors.

Free up disk space on the WinCC server, increase the alarm archive size limit, and configure automatic archiving of old alarm records to an external location. Restart the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime component if necessary.
