Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1CB08-0AX0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family. WinCC (Windows Control Center) is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) software platform designed for process visualization and operator control on PC-based systems. This specific part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a defined number of power tags, enabling runtime operation of configured WinCC projects on industrial PC hardware.

The WinCC Runtime software provides a comprehensive set of visualization and control capabilities, including process value archiving, alarm and event management, trend displays, and report generation. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as third-party systems through OPC DA and OPC UA. The runtime environment operates on Windows-based industrial PCs and panel PCs, and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications. Tag-based licensing defines the number of simultaneously active process variables the runtime can handle.

WinCC Runtime is widely deployed in manufacturing, process industries, energy management, water treatment, and building automation applications where centralized process visualization and data logging are required. It is particularly suited for applications demanding detailed historical data archiving, multi-client server architectures, and integration with MES or ERP systems via open interfaces. The software is commonly installed on Siemens SIMATIC IPC industrial computers or standard Windows PCs meeting the specified hardware requirements.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime process could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error messages. Verify that the WinCC license is valid and correctly installed using the Siemens License Manager (Automation License Manager).
Event ID: 1000001: Tag communication error. One or more configured tags cannot be read from the connected PLC or data source.
Verify the communication channel configuration in WinCC Explorer. Check network connectivity to the PLC and confirm the correct IP address, rack, and slot settings.
Event ID: 1000002: License not found or invalid. WinCC Runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured number of power tags.
Open the Automation License Manager and verify that the correct WinCC Runtime license is present and not expired. Transfer a valid license from the license storage medium if required.
Event ID: 1000003: Archive database error. The WinCC process data or alarm archive database cannot be accessed or is corrupted.
Check the SQL Server service status. Run the WinCC database consistency check tool and restore from backup if the database is found to be corrupted.
Event ID: 1000004: OPC server connection failure. WinCC cannot establish a connection to the configured OPC DA or OPC UA server.
Verify that the OPC server is running and accessible on the network. Check DCOM settings for OPC DA connections or endpoint configuration for OPC UA connections.
Event ID: 1000005: Redundancy switchover event. The WinCC redundant server has switched from the primary to the standby server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure. Check network connectivity, hardware status, and Windows Event Viewer logs on the primary server before attempting to restore it to active status.
Event ID: 1000006: User administration error. A user login attempt failed or user rights configuration is inconsistent.
Verify user account settings in the WinCC User Administrator. Ensure the Windows user account used for WinCC Runtime has the required permissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag capacity of the 6AV6371-1CB08-0AX0 WinCC Runtime license?

The 6AV6371-1CB08-0AX0 corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for 128,000 power tags, allowing up to 128,000 simultaneously active process variables in the runtime environment.

Is the WinCC Runtime software compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

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

Can WinCC Runtime be used in a redundant server configuration?

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports server redundancy, where a standby server automatically takes over if the primary server fails, ensuring continuous process visualization and data archiving.

What operating systems are supported by WinCC Runtime V7?

WinCC Runtime V7 is supported on 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows Server editions as specified in the Siemens compatibility list for the respective WinCC version.

Does WinCC Runtime support OPC UA communication?

Yes, WinCC Runtime includes an OPC UA server and client interface, enabling standardized data exchange with third-party systems, MES, and ERP platforms.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start after installation

Check the Automation License Manager to confirm a valid license is installed. Review the Windows Event Viewer Application and System logs for error messages related to WinCC or SQL Server services.

Install or transfer the correct WinCC Runtime license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure that Microsoft SQL Server, which is required by WinCC, is running and properly configured.

Process tags show no values or display connection errors in Runtime

Open WinCC Explorer and check the channel diagnostics for the affected communication channel. Verify network connectivity to the PLC using ping and confirm the PLC address settings match the WinCC channel configuration.

Correct the IP address, rack, or slot configuration in the WinCC channel settings. Restore network connectivity between the WinCC PC and the PLC, and restart the WinCC Runtime if necessary.

Alarm archiving stops recording new alarms

Check the status of the Microsoft SQL Server service on the WinCC server. Verify available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC archive database.

Free up disk space or expand the archive storage allocation. Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped, and run the WinCC database consistency check to repair any database errors.

WinCC Runtime client cannot connect to the WinCC server

Verify that the WinCC server Runtime is active and that the server name or IP address configured on the client is correct. Check Windows Firewall settings on the server for blocked WinCC ports.

Configure Windows Firewall to allow WinCC communication ports. Ensure the client PC has the correct WinCC client software version installed and that the server project is published for client access.

Historical trend displays show no data or gaps in archived values

Check the WinCC Tag Logging configuration to confirm that the relevant tags are assigned to an archive and that the archive cycle is correctly set. Verify that the SQL Server archive database is accessible.

Correct the Tag Logging configuration and ensure the archive is active. If data gaps exist due to a server outage, check whether the redundant server archived data during the downtime and synchronize the archives.
