Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BD07-5AJ0 is a software license package belonging to the SIMATIC WinCC (Windows Control Center) family, Siemens' professional SCADA and HMI runtime and configuration software platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime or configuration software package designed for use on standard PC-based hardware running Microsoft Windows operating systems. WinCC is a core component of the Siemens TIA Portal and classic SIMATIC automation ecosystem, providing supervisory control, data acquisition, and visualization capabilities for industrial processes.

The 6AV6371-2BD07-5AJ0 package provides process visualization, alarm management, trend logging, and reporting functions within the WinCC environment. It 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, and a scripting environment (VBScript/C-Script) for custom automation logic within the HMI application. Security features include user administration with role-based access control compliant with IEC 62443 principles.

WinCC software packages such as the 6AV6371-2BD07-5AJ0 are deployed across a wide range of industries including automotive manufacturing, chemical processing, water and wastewater treatment, energy generation, and building automation. The platform is suited for applications requiring centralized monitoring of distributed control systems, multi-client server architectures, and integration with MES or ERP systems via standardized interfaces. Its compatibility with the broader Siemens SIMATIC ecosystem makes it a common choice for facilities already operating S7-300, S7-400, or S7-1500 series controllers.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime system could not be initialized, often due to missing or corrupt project files.
Verify project file integrity, check Windows Event Viewer for underlying errors, and reinstall WinCC Runtime if necessary.
Event ID: 1001: Tag communication error — one or more process tags cannot be read from the connected PLC or data source.
Check PLC connection settings, verify network/bus connectivity, and confirm the channel driver configuration in WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 2501: Archive database error — the historical data archive could not be written to or read from, possibly due to disk space or database corruption.
Check available disk space, verify SQL Server service is running, and run database consistency checks using WinCC diagnostic tools.
Event ID: 10241: License not found — WinCC Runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured number of power tags or runtime options.
Insert the correct USB license dongle or activate the software license via Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Verify the tag count does not exceed the licensed limit.
Event ID: 10001: OPC server connection lost — communication to an OPC DA or OPC UA server has been interrupted.
Check OPC server status, verify DCOM settings for OPC DA connections, and confirm network availability between WinCC and the OPC server.
Event ID: 20000: User administration error — login failure or unauthorized access attempt detected.
Verify user credentials and role assignments in WinCC User Administrator. Check if the account is locked and reset if necessary.
Event ID: 3000: Redundancy switchover event — WinCC has detected a failure in the primary server and switched to the redundant server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure, restore the primary system, and perform a manual synchronization check after recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag (power tag) limit for this WinCC license?

The tag limit depends on the specific license tier encoded in the 6AV6371-2BD07-5AJ0 part number. WinCC licenses are available in tiers such as 128, 512, 2048, 8192, 65536, and unlimited tags. Refer to the Siemens Automation License Manager to confirm the exact tag count for this license.

Is this WinCC package compatible with the TIA Portal?

Classic WinCC V7 packages (6AV6371 series) are used as standalone SCADA software and are not the same as WinCC Comfort/Advanced/Professional used within TIA Portal. However, WinCC V7 can be integrated with TIA Portal projects via OPC or channel drivers.

What communication protocols does WinCC support for connecting to S7 PLCs?

WinCC supports MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET/TCP/IP) for direct S7 connections using the SIMATIC S7 channel driver. OPC DA and OPC UA are also supported for broader interoperability.

Does this software require a hardware dongle for licensing?

WinCC V7 licenses can be delivered as USB hardware dongles (SIMATIC Automation License Manager key) or as software-based licenses managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). The 6AV6371-2BD07-5AJ0 license must be activated via ALM before runtime operation.

Can WinCC V7 run on Windows 10 or Windows Server 2019?

WinCC V7.4 and V7.5 support Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019, depending on the service pack level. Always consult the Siemens WinCC compatibility list for the specific version to confirm supported operating system versions.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid license for WinCC Runtime is present and not expired or transferred. Verify the USB dongle is inserted if a hardware license is used.

Insert the correct USB license dongle or transfer the software license to the target PC using ALM. Ensure the licensed tag count matches or exceeds the number of power tags configured in the project.

Process tags show no value or display '#####' in WinCC screens

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer under the relevant communication channel. Verify PLC connection status, IP address or PROFIBUS address configuration, and that the PLC is in RUN mode.

Correct the channel driver configuration, verify network connectivity with a ping test, and ensure the PLC program is running. Restart the WinCC channel driver if the connection was temporarily lost.

Historical trend data is missing or archive gaps are present

Check the WinCC Tag Logging configuration to confirm archive cycles are correctly set. Verify that the SQL Server service (used by WinCC) is running and that sufficient disk space is available on the archive drive.

Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped, free up disk space, and check the WinCC archive configuration for correct cycle times and storage paths. Review the WinCC system log for archive-related error events.

WinCC project cannot be opened after a Windows update or PC migration

Check for version mismatches between the installed WinCC software version and the project version. Windows updates can sometimes affect DCOM settings or SQL Server configurations required by WinCC.

Ensure the WinCC version installed matches the project version. Re-run the WinCC setup to repair DCOM and SQL Server settings. Use the WinCC project duplicator tool when migrating projects between PCs to avoid path and configuration errors.

Alarm messages are not being logged or displayed in the alarm control

Verify that the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime is active and that alarm tags are correctly configured with valid limits and message classes. Check that the alarm control object on the HMI screen is connected to the correct alarm log.

Activate Alarm Logging in the WinCC project properties, confirm tag connections and threshold values, and ensure the alarm control on the screen references the correct message class. Restart the WinCC Runtime to reinitialize the alarm subsystem.
