Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1CD01-1DX0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) SCADA/HMI software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime software package, designed to provide operator control and monitoring functionality for industrial process visualization on PC-based HMI systems. It is a core component of the Siemens SIMATIC automation environment, enabling real-time visualization and control of industrial processes.

The WinCC Runtime software offers a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trending and historical data logging, and reporting functions. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers, allowing connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as OPC UA and OPC DA for third-party system integration. The software runs on standard Windows-based industrial PCs and panel PCs, providing a scalable architecture that can be expanded with optional add-ons for redundancy, web access, and advanced process control.

The SIMATIC WinCC Runtime is widely deployed in manufacturing, process industries, energy management, water treatment, and building automation applications. Its compatibility with the broader Siemens TIA Portal engineering framework makes it suitable for integrated automation projects where seamless data exchange between PLC programming, HMI configuration, and SCADA visualization is required. The software is particularly well-suited for applications demanding reliable, high-availability process monitoring with centralized data archiving and multi-client access.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for underlying OS errors. Verify that all required WinCC components are correctly installed and that the license key is present and valid.
Event ID: 1000008: License not found or invalid — WinCC Runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured power tags.
Check the SIMATIC License Manager to confirm the correct license is installed. Ensure the license matches the number of configured power tags and the WinCC version.
Event ID: 1000040: Communication error to PLC — WinCC has lost the connection to one or more configured SIMATIC S7 controllers.
Verify network cabling and PROFINET/PROFIBUS connections. Check PLC status and confirm correct IP address or MPI address settings in the WinCC channel configuration.
Event ID: 1000051: Archive database error — the WinCC process data archive (Sybase/Microsoft SQL Server) has reported an error or is unavailable.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Restart the WinCC Archive Manager service. If the database is corrupt, restore from the last valid backup.
Event ID: 1000070: Tag logging overflow — the process value archive buffer has overflowed due to high data volume or slow disk performance.
Reduce the number of archived tags or increase the archive cycle time. Check disk I/O performance and ensure the archive storage path has sufficient free space.
Event ID: 1000090: Alarm logging error — the alarm archive could not be written, causing alarm records to be lost.
Check the alarm archive database status in WinCC Explorer. Verify SQL Server or Sybase ASA service is running and that the alarm archive path is accessible with correct write permissions.
Event ID: 1000110: Script runtime error — a configured VBScript or C-script in WinCC has encountered an execution error.
Open the WinCC Script Diagnostics tool to identify the faulty script. Review the script logic for syntax errors, invalid tag references, or division-by-zero conditions and correct accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count supported by the 6AV6371-1CD01-1DX0 license?

The 6AV6371-1CD01-1DX0 corresponds to a specific WinCC Runtime license tier. The exact power tag count should be confirmed against the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data, as different variants within the 6AV6371 range support different tag counts (e.g., 128, 256, 1024, or unlimited tags).

Is this WinCC license compatible with TIA Portal?

SIMATIC WinCC Runtime licenses in the 6AV6371 series are designed for the classic WinCC SCADA platform. For TIA Portal-integrated projects, WinCC Runtime Professional (6AV2 series) is the appropriate product. Compatibility with TIA Portal should be verified against the specific version.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC Runtime software?

SIMATIC WinCC Runtime is supported on Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows Server editions as specified in the WinCC compatibility list for the installed version. Older versions may support Windows 7. Always consult the Siemens WinCC Readme for the exact OS compatibility matrix.

Can WinCC Runtime communicate with third-party PLCs?

Yes, WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA communication standards, enabling connectivity to third-party PLCs and automation systems that provide an OPC server interface. Additional channel drivers may be required for specific third-party protocols.

Does this license support multi-client or web-based access?

The base WinCC Runtime license supports local single-client operation. Multi-client access and web-based visualization require additional WinCC options such as the WinCC Server license, WinCC Web Navigator, or WinCC DataMonitor, which are ordered separately.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error on launch

Open the SIMATIC License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC Runtime license is installed and assigned to the local computer. Verify that the license matches the number of configured power tags.

Transfer or install the correct WinCC Runtime license using the SIMATIC License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is connected and recognized by the system. Contact Siemens license support if the license appears corrupt.

No process values are updating on WinCC screens during runtime

Check the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool to verify the communication status of the configured PLC channel. Look for connection errors or timeout messages in the WinCC system log.

Verify the PLC IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS station address in the WinCC Tag Management. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and that network connectivity is established. Restart the WinCC channel driver if necessary.

WinCC Runtime crashes or freezes intermittently during operation

Review the Windows Event Viewer and WinCC diagnostic logs for memory errors, script exceptions, or database access failures. Check CPU and RAM utilization on the host PC during the crash period.

Ensure the host PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for the installed WinCC version. Disable or optimize resource-intensive VBScripts. Apply the latest WinCC service pack and hotfixes available from Siemens Support.

Historical trend data is missing or not displaying correctly in WinCC

Check the WinCC Archive Manager status and verify that the process value archive is active and not reporting errors. Confirm that the relevant tags have archiving enabled in Tag Logging.

Restart the WinCC Archive Manager service. Verify that sufficient disk space is available on the archive drive. If the archive database is corrupted, use the WinCC database repair tools or restore from a backup.

Alarm messages are not appearing in the WinCC alarm view during runtime

Check the WinCC Alarm Logging editor to confirm that alarm tags are correctly configured with valid limit values and that the alarm archive is active. Verify that the alarm view control on the screen is correctly linked to the alarm server.

Ensure the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime component is started. Recheck alarm tag configurations for correct data type and limit settings. If the alarm archive database is full or inaccessible, clear old records and restart the alarm logging service.
