Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1CC08-0AX0 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 use on PC-based systems running Microsoft Windows. This specific part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a defined number of power tags, enabling process visualization and operator control on industrial PC platforms.

The WinCC Runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features for process visualization, including trend displays, alarm management, reporting, and historical data archiving. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers for connecting to Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as third-party controllers via OPC DA/UA. The runtime environment is built on a client-server architecture, supporting multi-user configurations and redundant server setups for high-availability applications. Scripting capabilities via VBScript and C-Script allow for customized process logic and dynamic screen behavior.

WinCC Runtime is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and energy management. It is also used in discrete manufacturing environments for machine monitoring, production data acquisition, and quality control visualization. The software is particularly suited for applications requiring centralized SCADA functionality, long-term data archiving, and integration with enterprise-level systems such as MES and ERP platforms.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup error — the runtime system failed to initialize correctly, often due to a missing or corrupt project file.
Verify the project path and file integrity. Restart the WinCC Runtime and check the WinCC diagnostic log for detailed error information.
Event ID: 1001: Communication error to PLC — the connection to the configured SIMATIC S7 controller has been lost or cannot be established.
Check network cabling and PROFINET/MPI configuration. Verify the PLC IP address or MPI address in the WinCC channel settings and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 112: License not found — no valid WinCC Runtime license was detected on the system.
Use Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) to verify the license is installed and not expired. Transfer or reinstall the license as required.
Event ID: 10241: Tag logging error — the archive database could not be written to, possibly due to insufficient disk space or a corrupt archive.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Compact or relocate the archive database and verify database service is running.
Event ID: 10001: Alarm logging failure — alarm events could not be stored in the alarm archive.
Check the SQL Server service status and available disk space. Restart the WinCC alarm logging service and verify database connection settings.
Event ID: 10002: OPC server connection failure — the WinCC OPC server or client connection has been interrupted.
Verify OPC server configuration and DCOM settings. Ensure firewall rules permit OPC communication and restart the OPC service if necessary.
Event ID: 20001: Redundancy switchover — the WinCC redundancy system has detected a failure on the primary server and switched to the standby server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure. Restore the primary server and perform a manual resynchronization of the redundancy pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6371-1CC08-0AX0 license?

The 6AV6371-1CC08-0AX0 corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for 8192 power tags. Power tags define the number of process variables that can be actively connected and visualized at runtime.

Is this a single-user or multi-user license?

WinCC Runtime licenses are typically configured for use on a single server installation. Multi-client access is supported through WinCC client licenses, which must be purchased separately.

Which version of WinCC does this part number correspond to?

The 6AV6371-1CC08-0AX0 part number is associated with the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product generation. Compatibility with specific Windows OS versions should be verified against the WinCC V7 system requirements documentation.

Can WinCC Runtime communicate with non-Siemens PLCs?

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports OPC DA and OPC UA interfaces, allowing communication with third-party controllers and devices that provide compatible OPC servers. Additional channel drivers may also be available for specific third-party protocols.

How is the WinCC Runtime license managed and transferred?

Licenses are managed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) software. Licenses can be stored on a USB dongle or bound to a hardware fingerprint, and can be transferred between systems using the ALM tool.

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 with the correct power tag count is present and not expired or damaged.

Reinstall or transfer the license using ALM. If the license is on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is properly connected. Contact Siemens license support if the license appears corrupt.

Process values are not updating on screen during runtime

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics for communication errors. Verify the PLC connection status in the WinCC Tag Management and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and reachable on the network.

Correct any IP address or network configuration mismatches in the WinCC channel settings. Restart the affected communication channel or the WinCC Runtime service if the connection cannot be re-established automatically.

Historical trend data is missing or archive gaps are present

Check available disk space on the archive partition and verify that the SQL Server service used by WinCC is running. Review the WinCC diagnostic log for tag logging errors.

Free up disk space or redirect the archive to a larger partition. Compact the archive database using WinCC tools and restart the tag logging service. Configure archive size limits to prevent future overflow.

Alarms are not being displayed or acknowledged in the alarm control

Verify that the WinCC alarm logging component is active and that the alarm archive database is accessible. Check the alarm server configuration and confirm that alarm tags are correctly configured with valid limits.

Restart the WinCC alarm logging service and verify the SQL Server database connection. Review alarm tag configurations in WinCC Explorer and ensure the alarm control object on the screen is correctly linked to the alarm server.

WinCC client cannot connect to the WinCC server

Check network connectivity between the client and server PCs. Verify that the WinCC server name is correctly configured on the client and that Windows firewall rules permit WinCC communication ports.

Ensure both client and server are in the same Windows domain or workgroup with matching user credentials. Configure Windows firewall exceptions for WinCC and verify DCOM settings are correctly configured on both machines as per Siemens WinCC network documentation.
