Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1CD01-1CX0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. WinCC is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) software platform designed for industrial process visualization and control. This specific part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime package, enabling operators to monitor and interact with automated processes through graphical process screens on standard PC-based hardware.

The WinCC runtime software supports a defined number of process tags (power tags) for connecting to field devices and controllers, with this variant supporting up to 128 power tags. It provides a comprehensive set of features including alarm management, trend displays, reporting, user administration, and script-based automation using VBScript or C-Script. The software integrates natively with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET), and also supports OPC DA/UA for third-party connectivity. WinCC runs on Windows-based industrial PCs and standard PCs meeting Siemens' specified hardware requirements.

WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in manufacturing, process industries, energy management, water treatment, and building automation applications. It is particularly suited for applications requiring centralized visualization of distributed automation systems, where operators need real-time process data, historical trending, and alarm handling from a single workstation. The scalable tag-based licensing model allows the software to be matched precisely to the size and complexity of the installation.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC runtime activation failed — the license key is missing or invalid.
Verify that the correct WinCC license is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the dongle or software license matches the purchased tag count.
Event ID: 1000001: Connection to PLC lost — communication between WinCC runtime and the configured SIMATIC controller has been interrupted.
Check network cables, PROFIBUS connectors, or MPI adapter. Verify PLC is powered and running. Check channel driver configuration in WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 1000002: Tag read/write error — a configured process tag cannot be read from or written to the connected controller.
Verify the tag address in the WinCC Tag Management. Confirm the PLC data block or memory area exists and is accessible. Check communication driver status.
Event ID: 1000003: Archive database error — the WinCC process value or alarm archive has encountered a fault, possibly due to disk space or database corruption.
Check available disk space on the WinCC project drive. Run the WinCC database consistency check tool. If corrupted, restore from backup or reinitialize the archive.
Event ID: 1000004: Alarm logging overflow — the alarm buffer has exceeded its configured limit, causing older alarms to be overwritten.
Increase the alarm buffer size in the WinCC Alarm Logging editor. Investigate the root cause of the high alarm rate and acknowledge pending alarms.
Event ID: 1000005: Script runtime error — a VBScript or C-Script action has encountered an execution error during runtime.
Open the WinCC Diagnostics tool and review the script error log. Correct the faulty script in the WinCC Graphics Designer or Global Script editor and restart runtime.
Event ID: 1000006: User administration login failure — an operator has entered incorrect credentials or the user account is locked.
Verify the username and password in WinCC User Administrator. Unlock the account if locked, or reset the password as required by site security policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many process tags does the 6AV6371-1CD01-1CX0 WinCC runtime license support?

This WinCC runtime license supports up to 128 power tags, which define the number of process variables that can be actively connected to field devices or controllers during runtime.

Which Siemens PLCs are compatible with this WinCC runtime software?

WinCC is natively compatible with SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 controllers via MPI, PROFIBUS, or Industrial Ethernet. Third-party PLCs can be connected using OPC DA or OPC UA interfaces.

Does this license support multi-user or client-server configurations?

The 6AV6371-1CD01-1CX0 is a single-user runtime license. For client-server or multi-user configurations, additional WinCC server and client licenses are required.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC runtime?

WinCC V7 runtime is supported on Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows Server editions as specified in the Siemens compatibility matrix. It is not supported on Linux or macOS.

Is the Automation License Manager required to activate this software?

Yes, the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) must be installed on the target PC to manage and activate the WinCC runtime license. The license can be stored on a USB dongle or transferred to the local hard drive.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license for 128 tags is present and not expired or transferred elsewhere.

Ensure the license dongle is connected or the software license is properly installed on the local machine. Transfer the license back from another machine if it was moved. Reinstall the ALM if it is not detecting the license.

Process screens show all tags in fault state or display '#####' values

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer under the communication driver. Verify the PLC connection status and confirm the network or fieldbus link is active.

Restore the physical communication link (Ethernet cable, PROFIBUS connector). Verify the PLC IP address or MPI address matches the WinCC channel configuration. Restart the WinCC channel driver if the connection does not recover automatically.

WinCC runtime crashes or freezes periodically

Review the Windows Event Viewer and the WinCC diagnostic log files located in the project directory for error entries. Check CPU and RAM utilization on the host PC during the crash.

Ensure the host PC meets Siemens' minimum hardware requirements for the installed WinCC version. Disable unnecessary background applications. Apply the latest WinCC service pack and hotfixes available from Siemens Support.

Alarm archive is not recording new alarms

Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC project. Open WinCC Alarm Logging and verify that the archive is enabled and the storage path is accessible.

Free up disk space or redirect the archive to a drive with sufficient capacity. If the archive database is corrupted, use the WinCC database tools to repair or reinitialize it, then restart the runtime.

Scripts do not execute as expected during runtime

Enable the WinCC script diagnostics and review the script error log for syntax or runtime errors. Confirm that the trigger conditions for the affected scripts are correctly configured.

Correct any identified script errors in the WinCC Graphics Designer or Global Script editor. Ensure that all referenced tags and functions exist and are correctly named. Recompile the project and restart the runtime after making changes.
