Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1HR17-5AX0 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 65536 PowerTags, enabling large-scale process visualization and supervisory control on PC-based systems. It is part of the broader SIMATIC WinCC V7 software suite developed by Siemens for industrial automation and process monitoring applications.

The WinCC Runtime software at this license tier supports up to 65536 process tags (PowerTags), providing extensive data acquisition and visualization capabilities for complex plant environments. It includes features such as alarm management, trend displays, reporting, user administration, and an integrated historian for process data archiving. The software supports OPC DA/UA communication standards, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and a wide range of Siemens S7 PLC communication drivers, and can be integrated with SIMATIC PCS 7 for distributed control system architectures.

This WinCC Runtime license is typically deployed in large industrial facilities requiring centralized supervisory control and data acquisition across many process points. Typical industries include chemical processing, oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, power generation, and large-scale manufacturing. Its scalability and compatibility with the broader Siemens TIA Portal and SIMATIC ecosystem make it suitable for both standalone SCADA workstations and redundant server-client architectures.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime could not initialize correctly, often due to a missing or invalid license.
Verify that the license key is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the license matches the installed software version and tag count.
Event ID: 1000002: Tag communication error — one or more process tags have lost connection to the PLC or data source.
Check the communication channel configuration in WinCC Explorer. Verify PLC connectivity via PROFIBUS or PROFINET and confirm the channel driver is running.
Event ID: 1000010: Archive database error — the process data historian has encountered a database write failure.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server service is running and that the WinCC database user has sufficient permissions.
Event ID: 1000020: License tag count exceeded — the number of active PowerTags has surpassed the licensed limit.
Reduce the number of active tags to within the licensed limit of 65536, or upgrade to a higher-tier WinCC Runtime license.
Event ID: 1000030: OPC server connection lost — WinCC has lost communication with an external OPC DA or OPC UA server.
Verify the OPC server is running and accessible on the network. Check firewall settings and DCOM configuration for OPC DA connections.
Event ID: 1000040: User administration error — a user login attempt failed due to incorrect credentials or a locked account.
Verify user credentials in the WinCC User Administrator. Unlock the account if it has been locked due to repeated failed login attempts.
Event ID: 1000050: Redundancy switchover event — the WinCC system has switched from the primary server to the redundant standby server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure. Check network connectivity, hardware status, and Windows Event Logs on the primary server before attempting switchback.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum number of process tags supported by this WinCC Runtime license?

The 6AV6371-1HR17-5AX0 supports up to 65536 PowerTags, making it suitable for large-scale SCADA and process visualization applications.

Which version of WinCC does this license apply to?

This part number corresponds to a SIMATIC WinCC V7 Runtime license. Compatibility with specific sub-versions (e.g., V7.4, V7.5) should be verified against the Siemens product lifecycle documentation.

Is this license compatible with SIMATIC PCS 7?

Yes, WinCC Runtime at this license tier is compatible with SIMATIC PCS 7 distributed control system environments, where WinCC serves as the operator station software.

Does this software support OPC UA communication?

Yes, SIMATIC WinCC V7 Runtime supports both OPC DA and OPC UA standards, enabling integration with third-party systems and devices that use these protocols.

Can this WinCC Runtime license be used in a redundant server configuration?

Yes, WinCC supports server redundancy configurations where a standby server automatically takes over if the primary server fails, ensuring high availability of the SCADA system.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error

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

Install or restore the correct license using ALM. If the license was transferred to a different machine, use ALM to move it back. Ensure the software version matches the license version.

Process tags show 'Bad Quality' or no data in the WinCC screens

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer under the communication channel. Verify that the PLC is online and reachable via the configured network interface.

Restart the affected communication channel driver in WinCC Explorer. Verify PLC IP address or PROFIBUS address settings and confirm network connectivity using a ping test or SIMATIC NET diagnostics.

WinCC archive database grows excessively large and disk space runs low

Review the archiving configuration in WinCC Tag Logging. Check the configured archive size limits and backup/deletion cycles for process and alarm archives.

Adjust the archive size limits and enable automatic backup and deletion of old archive segments. Ensure the SQL Server maintenance jobs are running correctly and that sufficient disk space is allocated.

Alarms are not being logged or displayed in the alarm view

Check the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration to verify that alarm classes and message blocks are correctly configured. Confirm that the alarm logging runtime is active.

Restart the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime component. Verify that alarm tags are correctly linked to the alarm messages and that the alarm view control on the HMI screen is properly configured.

WinCC redundancy does not switch over correctly when the primary server fails

Check the redundancy status in the WinCC Redundancy Editor. Verify that both servers are on the same network segment and that the redundancy synchronization connection is active.

Ensure both servers have identical WinCC project configurations and that the redundancy partner address is correctly set. Check Windows firewall rules to allow WinCC redundancy communication ports.
