Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1HQ10-0CX0 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 power tag count, designed to run on standard PC-based hardware for SCADA and process visualization applications. It is a software product rather than a hardware panel, providing the runtime environment for executing WinCC projects developed in the WinCC configuration environment.

WinCC Runtime offers a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trend display, reporting, and historical data archiving. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces through SIMATIC communication drivers, enabling connectivity to S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI. The software supports OPC DA and OPC UA standards for third-party system integration, and includes a built-in SQL-based archive server for logging process values and alarms. Redundancy configurations are supported for high-availability installations.

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 applications. Its scalable tag-based licensing model allows it to be sized appropriately for small standalone workstations up to large distributed multi-client/multi-server architectures. The software integrates natively with other SIMATIC IT and TIA Portal ecosystem components, making it a common choice for Siemens-centric automation environments.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure due to missing or invalid license key.
Verify that the correct WinCC Runtime license is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Event ID: 10000: Communication error between WinCC Runtime and the connected PLC or communication driver.
Check the network connection and communication driver configuration. Verify PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address settings in the WinCC tag management.
Event ID: 10240: Archive server connection failure; process value archiving is interrupted.
Check the SQL Server service status on the WinCC server. Restart the archive service and verify database storage availability.
Event ID: 10241: Archive overflow warning; the archive database has reached its configured size limit.
Increase the archive size limit in WinCC project settings or configure automatic archiving segments. Back up and compress older archive data.
Event ID: 10001: Tag connection failure; one or more process tags report a bad quality status.
Check the PLC program and verify that the tag addresses configured in WinCC match the actual PLC data blocks. Confirm PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 20000: WinCC project activation failed due to configuration error or missing project components.
Open the WinCC project in the configuration editor, check for consistency errors, and resolve any missing driver or tag references before reactivating.
Event ID: 10500: User administration error; login attempt failed or user rights are insufficient.
Verify user credentials in the WinCC User Administrator. Ensure the operator account has the required runtime permissions for the requested action.
Event ID: 10100: Graphics runtime error; a picture or screen object failed to load correctly.
Check the referenced picture files in the WinCC Graphics Designer. Recompile the project and ensure all linked objects and scripts are valid.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6371-1HQ10-0CX0 license?

The 6AV6371-1HQ10-0CX0 is a WinCC Runtime license; the specific tag count is encoded in the part number variant. This SKU corresponds to a defined tag power class within the WinCC Runtime portfolio — consult the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC catalog or the Automation License Manager for the exact tag limit associated with this license.

Does this WinCC Runtime license support OPC UA communication?

Yes, SIMATIC WinCC Runtime supports OPC UA as both a client and server, enabling standardized data exchange with third-party systems and other SCADA platforms.

Is this a single-user or multi-user license?

WinCC Runtime licenses are typically single-server licenses. Multi-client access requires additional WinCC client licenses configured within the same WinCC project server infrastructure.

Can this software be used with TIA Portal projects?

Yes, WinCC Runtime is compatible with TIA Portal-based engineering workflows. Projects can be configured and downloaded from TIA Portal to the WinCC Runtime environment on a PC station.

What database system does WinCC Runtime use for archiving?

WinCC Runtime uses Microsoft SQL Server as its underlying database engine for process value archiving, alarm logging, and report generation.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error message

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC Runtime license of the correct tag class is present and not expired or transferred away.

Install or transfer the correct WinCC Runtime license using the ALM tool. Ensure the license matches the tag count configured in the project. Restart the WinCC Runtime after license restoration.

Process tags show 'Bad Quality' or '#' symbol in runtime screens

Check the communication driver status in the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool. Verify network connectivity to the PLC and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode with the correct IP or bus address.

Correct the tag address or communication parameters in WinCC Tag Management. Restart the affected communication channel and confirm tag quality returns to 'Good' in the WinCC Tag Browser.

Alarm archiving stops and no new alarms are recorded

Check the Windows Event Viewer and WinCC diagnostic log for SQL Server errors. Verify that the SQL Server service is running and that the archive database has sufficient free disk space.

Free up disk space on the archive drive, restart the SQL Server service, and reactivate the WinCC project. Configure archive segmentation to prevent future overflow.

WinCC Runtime screens display incorrectly or graphics fail to render

Check whether the project was compiled successfully after the last configuration change. Look for script errors or missing picture references in the WinCC Graphics Designer output log.

Recompile the entire WinCC project, resolve any reported errors in picture scripts or object links, and reactivate the Runtime. Ensure the PC meets the minimum graphics hardware requirements for WinCC.

WinCC Runtime loses connection to PLC intermittently

Monitor the network connection stability using ping tests and check for IP address conflicts on the PROFINET network. Review the WinCC channel diagnostics for recurring timeout errors.

Assign static IP addresses to both the WinCC PC and the PLC. Check Ethernet switch and cable integrity. Adjust the communication timeout parameters in the WinCC channel configuration if network latency is high.
