Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1CD01-1PX0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. It is a SCADA and HMI visualization software package designed to run on standard PC-based hardware, enabling operators to monitor and control industrial processes through graphical user interfaces. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a defined number of power tags, used for process visualization in PC-based automation environments.

WinCC Runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, historical data logging, trend displays, and report generation. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers for connecting to Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs as well as third-party controllers via OPC DA/UA, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and Industrial Ethernet. The software integrates with the SIMATIC automation ecosystem and supports redundant server configurations, multi-client architectures, and web-based client access for distributed monitoring.

The 6AV6371-1CD01-1PX0 is typically deployed in process industries such as water and wastewater treatment, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage production, and energy management facilities. Its PC-based architecture makes it suitable for applications requiring complex data logging, advanced reporting, and integration with enterprise-level IT systems such as MES and ERP platforms. The scalable tag-based licensing model allows it to be adapted to both small standalone installations and large distributed control system architectures.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup error — the runtime could not be initialized, often due to licensing or configuration issues.
Verify that the WinCC license (AuthorsW/SIMATIC Logon) is correctly installed and not expired. Check the WinCC project configuration for errors.
Event ID: 1001: Communication error to PLC — the configured communication channel to the controller has failed or timed out.
Check network connectivity between the WinCC PC and the PLC. Verify the channel driver configuration, IP address settings, and that the PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 112: Tag logging error — process values could not be written to the archive database.
Check available disk space on the WinCC server. Verify that the SQL Server service (SIMATIC WinCC SQL Server) is running and the archive database is not corrupt.
Event ID: 10000: License not found — no valid WinCC Runtime license was detected on the system.
Install or transfer the correct WinCC Runtime license using the Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the license matches the required power tag count.
Event ID: 1003: OPC server connection failure — WinCC cannot connect to the configured OPC DA or OPC UA server.
Verify the OPC server is running and accessible. Check DCOM settings for OPC DA connections or endpoint configuration for OPC UA. Ensure firewall rules permit the connection.
Event ID: 2000: Redundancy switchover event — the WinCC redundant server has switched from master to standby due to a detected fault.
Investigate the primary server for hardware or software faults. Check the WinCC Redundancy diagnostics and restore the primary server before performing a manual switchback.
Event ID: 1008: Project activation failed — WinCC Runtime could not activate the configured project.
Check the WinCC project for configuration errors using WinCC Configuration Studio. Ensure all required drivers and scripts compile without errors before reactivating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6371-1CD01-1PX0 license?

The 6AV6371-1CD01-1PX0 corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license; the specific power tag count (e.g., 128, 512, 2048 tags) is defined by the license variant. Refer to the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data or the Automation License Manager to confirm the exact tag count for this part number.

What operating system is required to run this WinCC Runtime software?

WinCC Runtime requires a compatible Microsoft Windows operating system, typically Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows Server editions, depending on the WinCC version. Refer to the Siemens WinCC compatibility list for the specific OS requirements matching the software version supplied.

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

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports client/server architectures where one or more WinCC clients connect to a WinCC server. Additional client licenses (WinCC RT Client) are required for each connected client workstation.

How is the WinCC license managed and transferred?

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

Is this software compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs via PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet using the SIMATIC S7 channel driver or OPC UA, provided the appropriate communication driver is installed and configured.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a licensing error

Open the Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC Runtime license is present and not expired or over-counted. Check the Windows Event Viewer for WinCC-related error entries.

Install or restore the correct WinCC Runtime license via ALM. If the license is stored on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected. If the license is corrupted, contact Siemens support for license recovery.

Process tags show no current values and display dashes or error symbols

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the WinCC Explorer to identify which communication channel is reporting errors. Verify PLC connectivity by pinging the PLC IP address from the WinCC PC.

Restore network connectivity between the WinCC PC and the PLC. Verify the channel driver configuration including IP address, rack, and slot settings. Restart the WinCC channel driver if necessary.

Alarm logging stops recording new alarms

Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC project and SQL Server database. Verify that the SIMATIC WinCC SQL Server service is running in Windows Services.

Free up disk space or expand storage. Restart the SIMATIC WinCC SQL Server service if it has stopped. If the alarm archive is corrupt, use the WinCC database tools to repair or reinitialize the archive.

WinCC project cannot be activated after configuration changes

Review the WinCC output window for compilation errors in scripts (VBScript/C-Script) or configuration inconsistencies. Check that all referenced tags and screens exist in the project.

Correct any script compilation errors identified in the output window. Ensure all tag connections reference valid PLC addresses. Recompile the project and attempt activation again.

Web clients cannot connect to the WinCC Web Navigator server

Verify that the WinCC Web Navigator server component is installed and the IIS (Internet Information Services) web service is running. Check firewall rules on the WinCC server for HTTP/HTTPS ports.

Ensure IIS is running and the WinCC Web Navigator virtual directory is correctly configured. Open the required HTTP (port 80) or HTTPS (port 443) ports in the Windows Firewall. Verify client browser compatibility with the installed Web Navigator version.
