Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1AH10-0AX0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family, which is a professional SCADA and HMI visualization platform for PC-based industrial automation. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a defined number of power tags, enabling process visualization and operator control on standard industrial PCs or SIMATIC Panel PCs. It is part of the broader SIMATIC WinCC V7 software generation and is designed to run on Microsoft Windows operating systems in conjunction with SIMATIC hardware.

WinCC Runtime provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trend display, reporting, and historical data archiving. It supports communication with SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI interfaces, as well as OPC DA/UA connectivity for third-party system integration. The software includes a scripting environment based on VBScript and ANSI-C for custom logic, and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications. Licensing is enforced via a USB hardware key (SIMATIC Automation License Manager).

WinCC Runtime is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and power generation, as well as in discrete manufacturing environments including automotive assembly and machine tool operations. Its scalable tag-based licensing model allows deployment on single-station systems up to distributed multi-client/server architectures. The platform is particularly suited to applications requiring detailed process data logging, regulatory compliance reporting, and integration with MES or ERP systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime process could not be initialized, often due to a missing or invalid license.
Verify that the USB license dongle is connected and recognized by the Automation License Manager. Ensure the correct license type and tag count are available.
Event ID: 1000003: Database connection error — WinCC Runtime cannot connect to the SQL Server database required for archiving and configuration.
Check that Microsoft SQL Server is running and that the WinCC project database is not corrupted. Restart the SQL Server service and re-open the WinCC project.
Event ID: 1000008: Communication channel fault — the configured communication driver cannot establish a connection to the target PLC.
Verify PLC network settings, IP address, and that the correct communication driver is installed and configured in the WinCC project. Check physical network connections.
Event ID: 1000020: Tag logging overflow — the process value archive is full or the logging cycle cannot be maintained.
Increase archive size, reduce logging cycle load, or configure automatic archive backup and cleanup in the WinCC Tag Logging editor.
Event ID: 1000040: Alarm logging error — alarm events cannot be written to the alarm archive.
Check SQL Server disk space and database integrity. Verify alarm logging configuration and restart the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime component.
Event ID: 1000100: License tag count exceeded — the number of active power tags in the project exceeds the licensed tag count.
Reduce the number of active power tags in the project to within the licensed limit, or upgrade the WinCC Runtime license to a higher tag count.
Event ID: 1000200: Script runtime error — a VBScript or C-script action has encountered an unhandled exception during execution.
Open the WinCC Script Diagnostics tool to identify the faulty script. Review and correct the script logic, then restart the WinCC Runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6371-1AH10-0AX0 license?

The 6AV6371-1AH10-0AX0 corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for 128 power tags. This defines the maximum number of process variables that can be actively connected to external data sources simultaneously.

What hardware is required to run this WinCC Runtime license?

WinCC Runtime requires an industrial PC or SIMATIC Panel PC running a compatible version of Microsoft Windows. The license is enforced via a USB hardware dongle managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager software.

Is this license compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs via PROFINET using the SIMATIC NET communication drivers included with the software.

Can WinCC Runtime be used in a multi-client/server configuration?

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports distributed architectures with multiple clients connecting to a central WinCC server, and also supports redundant server pairs for high-availability applications.

Does this software support OPC UA connectivity?

Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime includes OPC DA and OPC UA server and client functionality, enabling integration with third-party SCADA systems, MES platforms, and other OPC-compatible devices.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Check the Automation License Manager to verify whether the USB dongle is detected and whether a valid WinCC Runtime license with sufficient tag count is present.

Insert the correct USB license dongle, ensure the Automation License Manager service is running, and confirm the license matches the installed WinCC version and tag count. Transfer or upgrade the license if necessary.

Process tags show no values or display '#COMM' error in Runtime

Verify the communication channel configuration in WinCC Explorer. Check whether the PLC is reachable via ping and that the correct IP address and rack/slot settings are configured.

Correct the PLC connection parameters in the WinCC communication driver settings. Ensure the SIMATIC NET software is installed and the network interface is properly configured. Restart the WinCC channel.

Historical trend data is missing or archive gaps appear

Check the WinCC Tag Logging configuration for the affected tags. Verify that the SQL Server service is running and that sufficient disk space is available for the archive database.

Restart the SQL Server service and the WinCC Tag Logging runtime. Increase disk space or configure archive segmentation and backup to prevent future overflow.

WinCC project opens in configuration mode but Runtime activation fails

Check the Windows Event Viewer and WinCC diagnostic log for error event IDs. Confirm that all required WinCC services and the SQL Server instance are running.

Restart all WinCC-related Windows services via the Siemens Automation Service Manager. If the project database is corrupted, restore from a recent backup or use the WinCC project duplicator to create a clean copy.

Alarm messages are not displayed or acknowledged in Runtime

Verify the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration and check whether the alarm archive database is accessible. Confirm that alarm tags are correctly linked to PLC data blocks.

Check SQL Server disk space and restart the Alarm Logging runtime component. Review alarm tag connections in WinCC Alarm Logging editor and ensure PLC data block addresses are correct and accessible.
