Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DQ10-0BX0 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 specific tag count configuration, designed to operate on standard PC-based hardware running Microsoft Windows. It serves as the SCADA and HMI visualization platform for industrial process monitoring and control applications.

The WinCC Runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trend displays, and historical data logging. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces through SIMATIC NET drivers, enabling connectivity to S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI protocols. The software includes a scripting environment based on VBScript and C, an integrated SQL database for archiving, and supports OPC DA and OPC UA standards for interoperability with third-party systems.

WinCC Runtime is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and energy management, as well as in discrete manufacturing environments including automotive assembly and machine tool operations. Its scalable tag-based licensing model allows deployment on single-station systems or as part of a distributed client-server architecture, making it suitable for both small installations and large plant-wide SCADA systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime process could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for underlying errors. Verify that the WinCC license (SIMATIC Automation License Manager) is valid and properly installed.
Event ID: 1000008: License not found or invalid. WinCC Runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured tag count.
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager, verify the license is present and matches the required tag count. Transfer or repair the license as needed.
Event ID: 1000040: Communication error to PLC. The configured driver cannot establish a connection to the target controller.
Check network cabling and switch configuration. Verify PLC IP address or PROFIBUS address settings in WinCC Tag Management. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 1000112: Archive database error. WinCC cannot write to or read from the SQL process data archive.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify Microsoft SQL Server service is running. Repair or recreate the archive database using WinCC Database Manager.
Event ID: 1000200: Redundancy switchover event. The active WinCC server has switched over to the standby server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure. Check network connectivity and system health of the primary server before switching back.
Event ID: 1000300: Tag limit exceeded. The number of active process tags exceeds the licensed tag count.
Reduce the number of configured tags to within the licensed limit, or upgrade the WinCC Runtime license to a higher tag count tier.
Event ID: 1000500: Script runtime error. A VBScript or C script within WinCC has encountered an unhandled exception.
Review the WinCC diagnostics log for the specific script name and line number. Correct the script logic and reload the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tag count does the 6AV6371-1DQ10-0BX0 license support?

The 6AV6371-1DQ10-0BX0 corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license; the specific tag count tier should be confirmed against the Siemens order documentation, as WinCC licenses are available in increments such as 128, 512, 2048, 8192, and 65536 tags. Always verify the exact tag count with the license certificate included with the product.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC Runtime license?

WinCC Runtime supports Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows Server editions as specified in the corresponding WinCC version release notes. Compatibility depends on the specific WinCC version installed alongside this license.

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

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports client-server configurations where one or more WinCC clients connect to a central WinCC server. Additional client licenses may be required depending on the number of connected clients.

Is this license transferable between PCs?

WinCC licenses are managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and can be transferred between PCs using a USB dongle or via license transfer procedures within the ALM tool.

Does WinCC Runtime support OPC UA communication?

Yes, WinCC Runtime includes an integrated OPC UA server and client, allowing data exchange with third-party SCADA systems, MES platforms, and other OPC UA-compliant devices.

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 is present and not expired or damaged. Verify the license matches the installed WinCC version and tag count.

Transfer a valid license from a USB dongle or backup medium using the Automation License Manager. If the license is corrupted, contact Siemens support for license repair.

No communication between WinCC and the PLC after project activation

Check the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool to identify the specific driver connection status. Verify the PLC address, subnet configuration, and that the correct SIMATIC NET driver is installed.

Correct the PLC connection parameters in WinCC Tag Management. Ensure the SIMATIC NET software is properly installed and the network interface card is correctly configured in the PC Station.

Process data archive stops recording historical values

Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC project and SQL archive. Verify that the Microsoft SQL Server service (WinCC instance) is running in Windows Services.

Free up disk space or redirect the archive to a larger volume. Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped. Use the WinCC Database Manager to check archive integrity and repair if necessary.

WinCC Runtime displays stale or frozen tag values

Check the WinCC Tag Logging and diagnostics to determine if the driver is still actively polling the PLC. Look for communication timeout errors in the WinCC system log.

Restart the affected WinCC communication channel driver. If the issue persists, restart the WinCC Runtime and verify network stability between the PC and the PLC.

Scripts do not execute as expected during Runtime

Enable WinCC script diagnostics and review the script log file for error messages. Check whether the script trigger (event, cycle, or tag change) is correctly configured.

Correct any syntax or logic errors identified in the script log. Ensure that all referenced tags and objects exist in the current project. Recompile and reactivate the project after making corrections.
