€ 781,45
The Siemens 6AV6371-1HG08-0AX0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family. WinCC (Windows Control Center) is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) software platform designed for use on PC-based operator stations in industrial automation environments. This specific part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with 8192 power tags, enabling large-scale process visualization and monitoring on standard Windows-based industrial PCs.
The WinCC Runtime software provides a comprehensive set of visualization and control features including process value archiving, alarm management, trend displays, and report generation. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers for connecting to Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as OPC DA/UA connectivity for third-party system integration. The 8192 power tag license tier allows for extensive variable management suitable for complex process plants, and the software supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications. WinCC Runtime operates on Windows-based industrial PCs and panel PCs running supported Microsoft Windows operating systems.
WinCC Runtime with 8192 power tags is typically deployed in large industrial facilities such as chemical and petrochemical plants, water and wastewater treatment facilities, power generation and distribution systems, and automotive manufacturing lines. The software is well-suited for applications requiring centralized monitoring of multiple process areas, integration with enterprise-level MES and ERP systems via OPC interfaces, and long-term process data archiving. Its scalable licensing model allows engineers to expand tag counts as plant requirements grow.

Which PLCs are compatible with this WinCC Runtime license?
WinCC Runtime is compatible with Siemens SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI. Third-party systems can be integrated using OPC DA or OPC UA interfaces.
Can this WinCC Runtime license be used in a redundant server configuration?
Yes, WinCC Runtime supports server redundancy configurations, allowing a standby server to take over automatically in the event of a primary server failure, ensuring high availability.
What operating systems are supported by this WinCC Runtime version?
This version of WinCC Runtime is designed for 64-bit Windows operating systems, including Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019. Refer to the Siemens compatibility matrix for the full list of supported OS versions.
Is this license transferable between PCs?
WinCC Runtime licenses are hardware-bound and typically require a Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) for installation and transfer. License transfer to a new PC is possible using the ALM tool, subject to Siemens licensing terms.
Troubleshooting
WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error
Check the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) to verify that the license is correctly installed and not expired or corrupted. Confirm the license matches the required tag count.
Reinstall the license using the ALM tool. If the license is stored on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected and recognized by Windows. Contact Siemens support if the license file is corrupted.
Communication loss between WinCC Runtime and SIMATIC S7 PLC
Check the network connection and verify the PLC IP address or PROFIBUS address configured in the WinCC channel driver matches the actual PLC settings. Review the WinCC diagnostic log for channel-specific error messages.
Correct the communication channel configuration in WinCC, ensure the network cable and switch are functioning, and verify that the PLC is in RUN mode. Restart the WinCC channel driver if necessary.
Process values are not updating in the WinCC Runtime screens
Verify that the tag connections are correctly configured and that the associated communication channel is active. Check the WinCC Tag Management for any tags showing error status.
Reconnect or reconfigure the affected tags in WinCC Tag Management. Ensure the PLC program is writing to the correct data addresses and that no address conflicts exist.
WinCC Runtime crashes or becomes unresponsive during operation
Review the Windows Event Viewer and WinCC diagnostic logs for error entries. Check system resources including RAM and CPU usage, and verify that the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for the installed WinCC version.
Ensure the PC has sufficient RAM and CPU capacity for the configured tag count and screen complexity. Apply the latest WinCC service pack and Windows updates. If the issue persists, perform a clean reinstallation of WinCC.
Alarm archiving stops recording new alarms
Check available disk space on the archive drive and verify the WinCC archive configuration settings. Review the WinCC Alarm Logging diagnostic messages for storage-related errors.
Free up disk space or configure WinCC to archive to a larger storage volume. Adjust the archive size limits and backup settings in the WinCC Alarm Logging editor to prevent future overflow.
