Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1HR08-0AX0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family, a professional SCADA and HMI visualization platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for 128 power tags, enabling process visualization and operator control on PC-based HMI systems. It is part of the broader SIMATIC WinCC V7 software suite developed by Siemens for industrial process monitoring and control.

WinCC Runtime with 128 power tags provides a scalable visualization environment capable of displaying real-time process data, alarms, trends, and reports. The software supports OPC DA/UA communication, enabling integration with a wide range of PLCs and field devices beyond the Siemens ecosystem. It includes a comprehensive alarm management system, historical data logging, and a scripting interface based on ANSI C and Visual Basic for custom functionality. The runtime environment is designed to operate on standard Windows-based industrial PCs and panel PCs, and supports redundancy configurations for high-availability applications.

This WinCC Runtime license is widely used in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and energy management, as well as in discrete manufacturing environments. The 128 power tag limit makes it suitable for small to medium-sized installations where a defined number of process variables need to be visualized and logged. Its compatibility with SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as third-party systems via OPC, makes it a flexible choice for heterogeneous plant environments.

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 all required WinCC services are running and that the license dongle or software license is correctly installed.
Event ID: 1000003: License not found or invalid. WinCC Runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured number of power tags.
Verify that the Siemens license (via Automation License Manager) is correctly installed and matches the purchased power tag count. Re-activate the license if necessary.
Event ID: 112: Database connection error. WinCC cannot connect to the SQL Server database used for logging and configuration.
Ensure Microsoft SQL Server is running. Check SQL Server instance name and credentials in the WinCC project settings. Restart the SQL Server service if required.
Event ID: 10061: Communication error to PLC or OPC server. The configured channel driver cannot establish a connection to the target device.
Verify network connectivity to the PLC or OPC server. Check channel and connection settings in WinCC Tag Management. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and accessible on the network.
Event ID: 2503: Archive server error. The WinCC process value archive or alarm archive has encountered a fault.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server health and WinCC archive configuration. Restart the WinCC Archive Server service if necessary.
Event ID: 1001: WinCC project could not be opened. The project file may be corrupt or incompatible with the installed WinCC version.
Verify that the WinCC version installed matches the version used to create the project. Restore the project from a backup if corruption is suspected.
Event ID: 10060: OPC server connection timeout. The OPC DA or OPC UA server did not respond within the configured timeout period.
Check OPC server availability and network connection. Increase the timeout value in the WinCC channel configuration if the network latency is high.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag limit for the 6AV6371-1HR08-0AX0 license?

This license supports up to 128 power tags in the WinCC Runtime environment. Power tags represent the number of process variables actively used in the runtime project.

Is the 6AV6371-1HR08-0AX0 a perpetual license or a subscription?

This is a perpetual single-user runtime license. It does not require ongoing subscription payments, but it is tied to the specific installation and managed via the Siemens Automation License Manager.

Which WinCC version does this license correspond to?

The 6AV6371-1HR08-0AX0 part number belongs to the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product family. Compatibility with specific sub-versions (e.g., V7.4, V7.5) should be confirmed with the Siemens license documentation.

Can this WinCC Runtime license communicate with third-party PLCs?

Yes. WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA communication standards, allowing integration with PLCs and devices from manufacturers other than Siemens, provided a compatible OPC server is available.

Does this license include WinCC configuration tools or only the runtime?

This part number is a Runtime license only. WinCC configuration and engineering tools require a separate WinCC Engineering license or a combined package.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start after installation

Check the Siemens Automation License Manager to confirm the license is active and correctly assigned. Review the Windows Event Viewer and WinCC diagnostic log files for specific error messages.

Reinstall the license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure all prerequisites including Microsoft SQL Server and the correct Visual C++ redistributables are installed. Restart the system and attempt to start the runtime again.

No data displayed for process tags in runtime

Open WinCC Tag Management and verify that the channel driver is correctly configured and the connection status shows as active. Check network connectivity to the PLC or data source.

Correct the channel configuration, IP address, or communication parameters in WinCC Tag Management. Ensure the PLC is in RUN mode and that no firewall is blocking the communication port.

Alarm and trend archives are not being written

Check the status of the WinCC Archive Server service in Windows Services. Verify available disk space on the drive where archives are stored. Check SQL Server status.

Free up disk space if required. Restart the WinCC Archive Server service and SQL Server service. Verify archive configuration in the WinCC project and ensure the archive tags are correctly linked.

WinCC project opens in demonstration mode despite valid license

The Automation License Manager may not be detecting the license correctly, or the license may be assigned to a different computer or dongle.

Open the Automation License Manager and verify the license is present and assigned to the local machine. Transfer the license back to the local machine if it was moved. Restart WinCC after confirming license status.

OPC communication to third-party device is unstable or dropping

Monitor the OPC connection status in WinCC Tag Management. Check network stability between the WinCC PC and the OPC server. Review OPC server logs for timeout or authentication errors.

Increase the OPC update cycle and timeout values in the WinCC channel settings. Ensure DCOM settings are correctly configured for OPC DA communication. Consider switching to OPC UA for improved reliability if supported by the third-party device.
