Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DG07-5AX0 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 for process monitoring, control, and data acquisition on PC-based operator stations. This part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime license with a specific tag count configuration, enabling industrial visualization on standard PC hardware running Microsoft Windows.

WinCC offers a comprehensive set of features including a powerful graphics designer, alarm management, trend displays, and historical data logging. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers for connecting to SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET), as well as OPC DA/UA connectivity for third-party system integration. The software includes a structured scripting environment (VBScript and C-Script) for custom automation logic, and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability installations.

WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in process industries such as water and wastewater treatment, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage production, and energy management. It is suitable for applications requiring centralized supervisory control, multi-client visualization architectures, and long-term process data archiving. Its tight integration with the SIMATIC automation ecosystem makes it a standard choice for Siemens-based plant automation projects.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure – the runtime application could not be started due to a configuration or license error.
Check that a valid license is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Verify the WinCC project configuration for errors before restarting runtime.
Event ID: 1001000: Communication error to PLC – the WinCC channel driver has lost connection to the configured SIMATIC controller.
Check network cabling and switch connectivity. Verify the PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address settings in the WinCC channel configuration. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 1002000: Tag logging runtime error – the process value archive could not write data to the database.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server service is running. Review the WinCC Data Manager logs for detailed database error information.
Event ID: 1003000: Alarm logging overflow – the alarm archive buffer has reached its maximum capacity.
Increase the alarm archive size in the WinCC Alarm Logging editor. Archive or delete older alarm records. Check for runaway alarm conditions causing excessive alarm generation.
Event ID: 1004000: License not found or invalid – WinCC runtime detected a missing or expired license for the configured tag count.
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and verify that a valid WinCC runtime license matching the required power tag count is present and not expired or transferred.
Event ID: 1005000: OPC server connection failure – WinCC OPC DA/UA client could not establish a connection to the configured OPC server.
Verify the OPC server is running and accessible on the network. Check DCOM settings and firewall rules for OPC DA connections. For OPC UA, verify endpoint URL and certificate trust settings.
Event ID: 1006000: Graphics Runtime error – a picture or screen object failed to load or render correctly in WinCC Runtime.
Check the WinCC project for missing or corrupted picture files. Recompile the project in WinCC Configuration Studio and restart the runtime. Verify graphics driver compatibility on the PC.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag (power tag) count supported by this WinCC license?

The exact power tag count for part number 6AV6371-1DG07-5AX0 should be verified against the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering documentation, as the tag count tier is encoded in the part number suffix. Common WinCC runtime tiers include 128, 512, 2048, 8192, and 65536 tags.

Is this a single-user or multi-user (client-server) WinCC license?

WinCC runtime licenses of this type are typically configured for use on a single runtime station. Multi-client server architectures require additional WinCC client licenses and a WinCC server license installed on the server PC.

Which version of WinCC does this part number correspond to?

The 6AV6371-1DG07-5AX0 part number belongs to the SIMATIC WinCC V7 software generation. Compatibility with specific Windows OS versions and SIMATIC controllers should be confirmed in the WinCC V7 compatibility list published by Siemens.

Can WinCC communicate with third-party PLCs and systems?

Yes, WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA connectivity, allowing integration with third-party PLCs and automation systems that provide an OPC server interface. Additional channel drivers may be required for direct protocol connections to non-Siemens controllers.

Does this software require a hardware dongle or is it a software-based license?

SIMATIC WinCC licenses are managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) software and are typically stored as software licenses on the PC hard drive or on a USB license key, depending on the license type supplied.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error message

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license is present, active, and matches the required tag count for the project.

Transfer a valid WinCC runtime license to the PC using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license is not already in use on another machine. If the license is on a USB key, ensure the key is inserted before starting runtime.

WinCC loses communication with the SIMATIC PLC during runtime

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the Tag Management editor. Ping the PLC IP address from the WinCC PC to verify network connectivity. Review Windows Event Viewer for network adapter errors.

Verify the correct PLC IP address and rack/slot configuration in the WinCC S7 channel driver settings. Check Ethernet cabling, switch ports, and firewall rules. Restart the WinCC channel driver service if the connection does not recover automatically.

Historical trend data is not being recorded or is missing from archives

Check the WinCC Data Manager service status in Windows Services. Verify that the SQL Server instance used by WinCC is running. Check available disk space on the archive partition.

Restart the WinCC Data Manager and SQL Server services. Free up disk space if the archive drive is full. Review the archive configuration in WinCC Tag Logging to ensure the correct tags and cycle times are configured.

WinCC project cannot be opened or generates errors during compilation

Check the WinCC output window for specific compilation errors referencing missing pictures, scripts, or tag connections. Verify that the WinCC version installed matches the version used to create the project.

Resolve all reported configuration errors in the WinCC project editor. If the project was created in a different WinCC version, perform a project migration using the WinCC Project Migrator tool. Restore from a known-good project backup if corruption is suspected.

Alarm messages are not appearing in the WinCC Alarm Control at runtime

Verify that the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime is active. Check that alarm tags are correctly configured and that the alarm limits are set appropriately. Confirm the Alarm Control object in the picture is configured to display the correct alarm classes.

Activate the Alarm Logging component in the WinCC project and restart runtime. Review alarm tag configurations and ensure the correct alarm classes are selected in the Alarm Control display properties. Check that the PLC tags linked to alarms are receiving valid values.
