Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DQ10-0AX0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a 128-PowerTag configuration, enabling SCADA-level visualization and process monitoring on standard PC-based hardware running Microsoft Windows. It is a software product, not a hardware panel, and is used to deploy operator interfaces and supervisory control applications in industrial environments.

The WinCC Runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, historical data logging, trend displays, and report generation. It supports communication with SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET), as well as OPC DA/UA interfaces for third-party system integration. The 128-PowerTag license defines the maximum number of process variables (tags) that can be actively connected at runtime, making it suitable for small to medium-scale installations. The software runs on Windows-based industrial PCs or standard PCs meeting Siemens' hardware requirements.

This WinCC Runtime license is widely deployed in manufacturing, process industries, water and wastewater treatment, energy management, and building automation applications. It is particularly suited for installations requiring a PC-based HMI solution with robust data logging and reporting capabilities rather than a dedicated hardware panel. The scalable tag-based licensing model allows operators to expand the system by upgrading to higher PowerTag counts as process requirements grow.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000001: WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime process could not be initialized, often due to missing or corrupt installation files.
Reinstall WinCC Runtime software and verify that all required Microsoft redistributable packages are installed correctly.
Event ID: 1000002: Tag communication error — one or more process tags cannot be read from the connected PLC or data source.
Check the communication channel configuration in WinCC Explorer, verify PLC connection parameters (IP address, rack/slot), and confirm the PLC is online.
Event ID: 1000003: License not found — WinCC Runtime cannot detect a valid license for the configured PowerTag count.
Use the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) to verify the license is installed and active. Transfer or repair the license if necessary.
Event ID: 1000004: Database connection failure — the WinCC project database (Microsoft SQL Server) is unavailable or corrupt.
Verify that the SQL Server instance used by WinCC is running. Restart the SQL Server service and check the WinCC project database integrity.
Event ID: 1000005: Alarm logging overflow — the alarm buffer has exceeded its configured limit, causing alarms to be dropped.
Increase the alarm buffer size in the WinCC Alarm Logging editor or archive older alarm data to free buffer capacity.
Event ID: 1000006: Tag limit exceeded — the number of active process tags at runtime exceeds the licensed PowerTag count.
Reduce the number of active tags to within the 128-tag license limit, or upgrade the WinCC Runtime license to a higher PowerTag count.
Event ID: 1000007: OPC server connection lost — the OPC DA or OPC UA server used as a data source has become unreachable.
Verify the OPC server is running and accessible on the network. Check firewall settings and DCOM configuration for OPC DA connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PowerTag count for the 6AV6371-1DQ10-0AX0 license?

This license supports up to 128 PowerTags (process variables) active simultaneously at runtime. If more tags are required, the license must be upgraded to a higher PowerTag variant.

Which PLCs are compatible with this WinCC Runtime license?

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

Does this product require a dedicated Siemens hardware panel?

No. The 6AV6371-1DQ10-0AX0 is a PC-based software license that runs on standard industrial PCs or commercial PCs meeting Siemens' minimum hardware and operating system requirements.

How is the WinCC Runtime license managed and transferred?

The license is managed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). It can be transferred between PCs using a USB dongle or electronically, subject to Siemens licensing terms.

Can WinCC Runtime communicate via OPC UA?

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports OPC UA as both a client and server, enabling integration with third-party systems, other SCADA platforms, and IIoT applications.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start after installation

Check the Windows Event Viewer for application errors related to WinCC or SQL Server. Verify that the Automation License Manager shows a valid active license for the correct PowerTag count.

Ensure all prerequisites are installed (Microsoft SQL Server, Visual C++ redistributables). Reinstall WinCC Runtime if files are corrupt, and confirm the license is correctly assigned in the ALM.

Process tags show no value or display '#####' at runtime

Open the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool to check the status of the communication channel. Verify the PLC IP address, rack number, and slot number configured in the WinCC Tag Management.

Correct the connection parameters in WinCC Explorer under Tag Management. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and reachable on the network by pinging its IP address from the WinCC PC.

Alarm system stops logging new alarms

Check the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration for buffer overflow conditions. Verify that the SQL Server database used for alarm archiving has sufficient free disk space.

Free disk space on the server drive, increase the alarm archive size limit, or configure automatic archiving to move older records. Restart the WinCC Runtime after making changes.

WinCC Runtime license error appears after moving the project to a new PC

The license is bound to the original PC or USB dongle. Use the Automation License Manager on both the old and new PC to check license status and location.

Transfer the license to the new PC using the Siemens ALM tool. If the original PC is no longer available, contact Siemens technical support for a license recovery procedure.

Historical trend data is not displayed or is incomplete

Check the WinCC Tag Logging configuration to confirm that the relevant tags are enabled for archiving. Verify that the SQL Server archive database is online and not full.

Enable tag archiving for the required process variables in the WinCC Tag Logging editor. Ensure the SQL Server service is running and that sufficient disk space is available for the archive database.
