Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1HQ10-0BX0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. This part number corresponds to a WinCC flexible or WinCC V7 runtime package designed to operate on standard PC-based hardware, enabling SCADA and HMI visualization for industrial process control environments. It provides a scalable, PC-based operator interface solution for monitoring and controlling automated processes.

The 6AV6371-1HQ10-0BX0 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 software includes tag-based licensing, historical data archiving, alarm management, trend displays, and report generation capabilities. It supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications and integrates with the broader Siemens TIA Portal engineering framework.

This WinCC runtime license is widely deployed in process industries such as water and wastewater treatment, chemical processing, power generation, and manufacturing automation. Its compatibility with standard Windows-based PC hardware and broad PLC communication support makes it suitable for both standalone operator station deployments and distributed multi-client SCADA architectures. The software is particularly valued in applications requiring centralized process visualization, data logging, and operator interaction across large plant installations.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC runtime startup error — the runtime system failed to initialize correctly, often due to a missing or corrupt project file.
Verify the project file path is correct and accessible. Restart the WinCC runtime and check the WinCC diagnostic log for detailed error information.
Event ID: 1000022: Communication error to PLC — the connection to the configured SIMATIC controller has been lost or cannot be established.
Check network cabling and PROFIBUS/Ethernet configuration. Verify PLC is powered and running. Check the channel driver settings in WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 1000040: Tag logging error — the archiving system failed to write process values to the database.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server service is running. Review archive configuration for tag limit compliance.
Event ID: 1000080: License error — a valid WinCC runtime license was not found or the tag count exceeds the licensed limit.
Verify the license dongle is connected or the software license is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure tag count does not exceed the licensed number.
Event ID: 1000100: Alarm logging database error — the alarm archive could not be written, possibly due to a full or corrupt database.
Check disk space and database integrity. Compact or archive old alarm data. Restart the WinCC alarm logging service.
Event ID: 1000200: OPC server connection failure — the WinCC OPC DA/UA server could not be reached by a connected OPC client.
Verify OPC server is enabled in WinCC settings. Check Windows firewall rules and DCOM configuration for OPC DA connections. Confirm OPC UA endpoint URL is correct.
Event ID: 1000300: Redundancy switchover event — the WinCC redundant server has switched from master to standby due to a detected fault.
Investigate the primary server for hardware or software faults. Check network connectivity between redundant servers. Review the redundancy log in WinCC diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag capacity of the 6AV6371-1HQ10-0BX0 WinCC license?

The exact tag count for this specific part number should be verified against the Siemens ordering documentation, as WinCC licenses are available in multiple tag tiers (e.g., 128, 512, 2048, 50000 tags). The part number suffix typically encodes the licensed tag count.

Is this WinCC license compatible with the Siemens TIA Portal?

Yes, WinCC runtime licenses in this series are compatible with the SIMATIC TIA Portal engineering environment, allowing project configuration and download directly from TIA Portal to the WinCC runtime.

What communication protocols does WinCC support for PLC connectivity?

WinCC supports MPI, PROFIBUS DP, Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET), and TCP/IP-based connections to SIMATIC S7 controllers. It also supports OPC DA and OPC UA for integration with third-party systems.

Can this WinCC runtime be used in a redundant server configuration?

Yes, WinCC supports server redundancy where a standby server automatically takes over if the primary server fails, ensuring continuous process visualization and data archiving.

What operating system is required to run this WinCC runtime software?

WinCC runtime requires a compatible Microsoft Windows operating system, typically Windows Server or Windows Professional editions as specified in the Siemens WinCC compatibility list for the installed version.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start and displays a license error on launch

Check whether the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) detects a valid license. Verify the USB license dongle is connected or the software license is properly transferred to the PC.

Reinstall or transfer the license using the Siemens ALM tool. If using a hardware dongle, try a different USB port. Ensure the licensed tag count matches or exceeds the number of tags configured in the project.

No communication to SIMATIC PLC — all tags show invalid or error status

Check the WinCC channel driver configuration in WinCC Explorer. Verify the PLC IP address or PROFIBUS address is correctly configured. Use the Siemens communication diagnostics tool to test connectivity.

Correct the PLC address settings in the WinCC channel driver. Verify network cables and switch connections. Ensure the PLC is in RUN mode and the correct communication driver (e.g., SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite) is installed and active.

Historical trend data is missing or archive gaps appear in the database

Check available disk space on the archive partition. Verify the SQL Server service is running. Review the WinCC tag logging configuration for any disabled or misconfigured archive tags.

Free up disk space or expand the archive storage. Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped. Re-enable any disabled archive tags and verify the archive cycle times are correctly configured.

WinCC client cannot connect to the WinCC server in a multi-client setup

Verify network connectivity between client and server PCs. Check that the WinCC server project is active and the server name is correctly configured on the client. Review Windows firewall settings on the server.

Add the WinCC server hostname or IP address correctly in the client project configuration. Open the required ports in the Windows firewall on the server PC. Ensure both client and server are on the same Windows domain or workgroup with appropriate user permissions.

Alarm messages are not appearing in the WinCC alarm view despite active process faults

Check whether the alarm logging server is running in WinCC. Verify that alarm tags are correctly configured with threshold values and that the alarm view control on the HMI screen is connected to the correct alarm server.

Restart the WinCC alarm logging service. Confirm alarm tag configurations including limit values and message classes. Ensure the alarm view ActiveX control is properly configured and linked to the correct WinCC alarm server in the screen layout.
