Siemens 6AV6371-1DQ10-0CX0 SIMATIC WinCC
€ 3.495,00
The Siemens 6AV6371-1DQ10-0CX0 is a software license for SIMATIC WinCC, Siemens' professional SCADA and HMI runtime software platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a defined tag count, belonging to the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product family. It is designed for use on standard PC-based hardware running Windows operating systems and serves as the visualization and supervisory control layer in industrial automation architectures.
WinCC provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trending, reporting, and historical data archiving. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and OPC UA/DA, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers. The software includes a powerful scripting environment (VBScript and C-Script), a tag management system, and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications. Security features include user authentication, role-based access control, and audit trail functionality compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.
SIMATIC WinCC is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, water treatment, and power generation, as well as in discrete manufacturing and building automation. Its scalability from single-station installations to distributed multi-server client architectures makes it suitable for both small machine-level HMI applications and large plant-wide SCADA systems. Integration with Siemens TIA Portal and the broader SIMATIC ecosystem further extends its applicability in complex automation projects.

Common System Event Codes
- Event ID: 1000000
- WinCC Runtime startup error — the runtime could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error messages. Verify that all required WinCC services are running and that the license is correctly installed using the Automation License Manager. - Event ID: 1000003
- Database connection error — WinCC cannot connect to the internal SQL Server database.
Verify that the SQL Server service (WINCC instance) is running. Check database path configuration in WinCC Explorer and ensure sufficient disk space is available. - Event ID: 1000010
- License not found or invalid — no valid runtime license detected.
Open the Automation License Manager and verify that a valid WinCC Runtime license is present and not expired. Transfer or repair the license if necessary. - Event ID: 1000020
- Tag limit exceeded — the number of active process tags exceeds the licensed tag count.
Reduce the number of active tags to within the licensed limit, or upgrade the WinCC Runtime license to a higher tag count tier. - Event ID: 1000050
- Communication channel error — a configured communication driver has lost connection to the PLC or remote device.
Check physical network connections and PLC status. Verify channel and connection parameters in WinCC Explorer. Review the channel diagnostics log for specific driver error details. - Event ID: 1000100
- Archiving error — process value or alarm archiving has failed or been interrupted.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server service status. Review archive configuration settings and restart the archiving service if necessary. - Event ID: 1000200
- Script runtime error — a VBScript or C-Script action has encountered an execution error.
Open the WinCC Diagnostics tool and review the script error log. Correct the faulty script logic in the WinCC Graphics Designer or Global Script editor and reload the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tag count does the license 6AV6371-1DQ10-0CX0 cover?
The 6AV6371-1DQ10-0CX0 corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for a specific tag count tier within the WinCC V7 family. The exact tag count should be confirmed against the Siemens order documentation, as the part number encodes the license scope including tag limits.
Is this WinCC license compatible with TIA Portal?
SIMATIC WinCC V7 operates as a standalone SCADA platform and is not the same as WinCC in TIA Portal (WinCC Basic/Comfort/Advanced). However, WinCC V7 can be integrated with TIA Portal projects via OPC communication or the WinCC TIA Portal interface add-on.
What operating systems are supported by SIMATIC WinCC V7?
WinCC V7 supports 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019. Earlier versions may support Windows 7, but Siemens recommends using the latest supported OS for security and compatibility reasons.
Does WinCC V7 support redundant server configurations?
Yes, WinCC V7 supports server redundancy, allowing two WinCC servers to operate in a redundant pair. In the event of a primary server failure, clients automatically switch to the standby server with minimal disruption.
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 PC, and can be transferred between systems using the ALM tool.
Troubleshooting
WinCC Runtime fails to start after installation
Check the Windows Event Viewer under Application and System logs for WinCC-related errors. Verify that the SQL Server (WinCC instance) service is running and that the Automation License Manager shows a valid license.
Ensure all WinCC prerequisites are installed (SQL Server, .NET Framework, correct Windows version). Repair or reinstall the WinCC software if services are missing. Confirm the license is correctly activated in the Automation License Manager.
No communication between WinCC and the SIMATIC PLC
Check the channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer under the communication driver. Verify network connectivity by pinging the PLC IP address. Confirm that the correct communication driver (e.g., SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite) is configured with the right PLC address and rack/slot settings.
Correct the connection parameters in the WinCC channel configuration. Ensure the PLC is in RUN mode and accessible on the network. Check firewall settings on the WinCC PC that may be blocking PROFINET or S7 communication ports.
Historical trend data not displaying or archiving stops unexpectedly
Check available disk space on the drive where WinCC archives are stored. Verify that the SQL Server service is running. Review the WinCC Diagnostics log for archiving-related error events.
Free up disk space or redirect archives to a larger volume. Restart the SQL Server (WinCC) service if it has stopped. Adjust archive size limits and backup settings in the WinCC Archive Configuration to prevent future interruptions.
WinCC project opens but displays license warning and limits functionality
Open the Automation License Manager and check the status of the installed WinCC Runtime license. The license may be missing, expired, or stored on a disconnected USB dongle.
Reconnect the USB license dongle if used, or transfer the license back to the local machine using the Automation License Manager. If the license is corrupted, contact Siemens support for license recovery procedures.
Scripts (VBScript or C-Script) not executing correctly at runtime
Enable the WinCC Diagnostics tool and review the script error log for syntax or runtime errors. Check whether the affected scripts are triggered by the correct events or tags in the Graphics Designer.
Correct any identified script errors in the WinCC Graphics Designer or Global Script editor. Ensure that referenced tags and functions exist and are correctly named. Recompile and reload the project after making corrections.
