Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1CD01-1BX0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family, a professional SCADA and HMI visualization platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for 128 power tags, enabling process visualization and monitoring on standard PC-based hardware running Windows operating systems. It is part of the broader SIMATIC WinCC V7 software suite developed by Siemens for industrial process control and supervisory applications.

The WinCC Runtime 128 power tags license provides a scalable visualization environment with support for OPC DA and OPC UA communication standards, enabling integration with a wide range of PLCs and field devices. The software supports redundant server configurations, client-server architectures, and includes a process historian for data logging and archiving. It offers alarm management, trend displays, and report generation capabilities, and is compatible with SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 controller families via PROFIBUS and PROFINET interfaces.

This WinCC Runtime license is used across a broad range of industries including water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, food and beverage production, automotive manufacturing, and energy management. It is suited for applications requiring centralized monitoring of process data, alarm handling, and historical trending on a PC-based HMI station. The 128 power tags variant is appropriate for small to medium-scale installations where a defined number of dynamic process variables need to be visualized and controlled.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime could not be activated due to a missing or invalid license.
Verify that the license key is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the license matches the number of configured power tags.
Event ID: 1000008: Connection to the PLC or communication driver failed. The configured channel cannot establish communication.
Check network connectivity, verify the PLC IP address or PROFIBUS address configuration in WinCC Tag Management, and confirm the communication driver is correctly installed.
Event ID: 1000040: Archive database error. The process historian or alarm archive cannot be written to due to a database fault.
Check available disk space on the archive drive, verify SQL Server service is running, and review the WinCC diagnostic log for database-specific errors.
Event ID: 1000050: Redundancy switchover event. The active WinCC server has failed and the standby server has taken over.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure, check system event logs, restore the primary server, and perform a manual switchover back once the issue is resolved.
Event ID: 1000020: Tag logging error. One or more process tags could not be logged due to a communication or configuration issue.
Verify tag connections in WinCC Tag Management, check that the associated PLC addresses are correct and accessible, and review the channel diagnostics.
Event ID: 1000060: License count exceeded. The number of active power tags in the project exceeds the licensed quantity.
Reduce the number of dynamic tags in the project to within the 128 power tag limit, or upgrade the WinCC Runtime license to a higher tag count using the Automation License Manager.
Event ID: 1000030: Alarm server error. The WinCC alarm server could not process or store alarm messages.
Restart the WinCC alarm server component, check the alarm archive database integrity, and verify that the SQL Server instance used by WinCC is running correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag limit for the 6AV6371-1CD01-1BX0 license?

This license supports up to 128 power tags, which defines the maximum number of dynamic process variables that can be connected and visualized in the WinCC Runtime environment.

Which WinCC version does the 6AV6371-1CD01-1BX0 correspond to?

This part number corresponds to a SIMATIC WinCC V7 Runtime license. Compatibility with specific sub-versions (V7.3, V7.4, V7.5) should be verified against the Siemens product lifecycle documentation.

Is this license compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

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

Can this WinCC Runtime license be used in a client-server architecture?

Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime can be configured in a client-server architecture, allowing multiple WinCC clients to connect to a central WinCC server, subject to the appropriate client access licenses being available.

How is the license managed and transferred?

The license is managed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) software. It can be transferred between hardware dongles or PC installations using the ALM tool, provided the license terms permit such transfer.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC Runtime 128 power tags license is present and not expired or in a trial state.

Install or transfer a valid license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license is stored on the correct drive (typically the C: drive or a USB dongle) and matches the installed WinCC version.

Process tags show no values or display connection errors in Runtime

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the Tag Management editor. Verify the PLC is reachable via ping and that the configured communication channel driver is active.

Correct the PLC IP address or station address in the WinCC project, restart the communication channel, and confirm that the SIMATIC NET software is correctly installed and configured.

Alarm archive is not recording new alarms

Check whether the SQL Server instance used by WinCC is running. Review the WinCC diagnostic log files located in the project directory for database-related error entries.

Restart the SQL Server service, verify that sufficient disk space is available on the archive partition, and if necessary, compress or archive older alarm data to free space.

WinCC client cannot connect to the WinCC server

Verify network connectivity between the client and server PCs. Check that the WinCC server is in Runtime mode and that the client is configured with the correct server name in the WinCC project.

Ensure both PCs are on the same network subnet, Windows Firewall rules permit WinCC communication ports, and the client project references the correct server computer name. Restart WinCC Runtime on both client and server if needed.

Historical trend data is missing or incomplete in WinCC

Check the tag logging configuration in WinCC to confirm that the relevant tags are assigned to an archive and that the logging cycle is correctly defined.

Verify the process historian archive settings, confirm the SQL Server archive database is not full, and check that the tags were connected and communicating during the period for which data is missing.
