Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BD08-0AJ0 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 standard runtime package, designed to provide SCADA and HMI visualization capabilities on PC-based operator stations within industrial automation environments. It serves as the software foundation for process visualization, data acquisition, and operator control on Windows-based industrial PCs.

The WinCC runtime software supports a defined number of power tags (process variables) and provides a comprehensive set of features including alarm management, trend displays, recipe management, and historical data logging. It integrates natively with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET), and supports OPC DA/UA for third-party connectivity. The software includes a scripting environment (VBScript/C-Script) for custom automation logic and supports multi-client/server architectures for distributed visualization systems.

This WinCC runtime license is widely deployed in manufacturing plants, process industries, water and wastewater facilities, and energy management systems where PC-based SCADA visualization is required. It is particularly suited for applications demanding high-resolution process graphics, complex alarm hierarchies, and integration with Siemens TIA Portal or STEP 7 engineering environments. The scalable tag-based licensing model allows it to be adapted to both small standalone operator stations and large distributed control room installations.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC runtime startup failure. The runtime system could not be initialized, often due to a missing or invalid license.
Verify that the correct WinCC license is installed using the Siemens License Manager (Automation License Manager). Reinstall the license if necessary.
Event ID: 1001: Communication error to PLC. The configured connection to the SIMATIC S7 controller cannot be established.
Check network cabling and IP/MPI/PROFIBUS addressing. Verify the PLC is powered and the communication driver is correctly configured in WinCC.
Event ID: 2501: Tag read/write error. A process tag could not be read from or written to the connected controller.
Check the tag address configuration in WinCC Tag Management. Verify the PLC data block or memory area exists and is accessible.
Event ID: 112: Database connection failure. WinCC cannot connect to the internal SQL Server database used for alarm and trend logging.
Ensure Microsoft SQL Server (WinCC edition) is running. Restart the SQL Server service and then restart WinCC runtime.
Event ID: 10000: License not found or license count exceeded. The number of configured power tags exceeds the licensed tag count.
Check the installed license using the Automation License Manager. Upgrade to a higher tag-count license or reduce the number of configured power tags.
Event ID: 4096: Alarm logging system error. The alarm server could not start or has stopped unexpectedly.
Check available disk space on the WinCC project drive. Restart the WinCC alarm logging component and review the WinCC diagnostic log for details.
Event ID: 8192: Archive/trend logging overflow. The process value archive has reached its configured size limit.
Increase the archive size in WinCC Tag Logging configuration, or enable automatic archiving/backup to free space in the active archive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag capacity of the 6AV6371-2BD08-0AJ0 WinCC license?

The exact power tag count for this specific part number is defined by the Siemens ordering configuration; the 6AV6371-2BD08-0AJ0 corresponds to a specific WinCC runtime tier. Refer to the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC catalog or the Automation License Manager to confirm the licensed tag count for this part number.

Is this WinCC license compatible with TIA Portal?

WinCC V7 runtime licenses are used with the WinCC standalone engineering environment, while TIA Portal uses WinCC Runtime Professional licenses with different part numbers. Verify compatibility with your engineering environment before deployment.

What communication protocols does WinCC support with this runtime?

WinCC supports SIMATIC S7 communication via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET/TCP/IP), as well as OPC DA and OPC UA for integration with third-party systems and devices.

Can this WinCC runtime be used in a client/server architecture?

Yes, WinCC supports multi-client/server configurations where one WinCC server hosts the project and multiple WinCC clients connect to it for distributed visualization, provided the appropriate server and client licenses are installed.

What operating system is required to run this WinCC runtime?

WinCC runtime requires a Windows operating system, typically Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows Server, as specified in the Siemens WinCC compatibility list for the installed version. Industrial-grade hardware with Siemens-qualified OS configurations is recommended.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license is present and not expired or transferred. Verify the license matches the installed WinCC version and tag count.

Transfer or install the correct license using the Automation License Manager. If the license is on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected. Contact Siemens license support if the license appears corrupted.

No communication between WinCC and the SIMATIC S7 PLC

Check the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool to identify the failing communication channel. Verify the PLC IP address, MPI node number, or PROFIBUS address matches the WinCC connection configuration. Ping the PLC from the WinCC PC if using Ethernet.

Correct the connection parameters in WinCC Tag Management under the relevant communication driver. Ensure the correct SIMATIC NET software and drivers are installed and that the network interface card is properly configured.

Alarm and event logging stops recording new entries

Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC project. Open WinCC Alarm Logging and verify the archive configuration. Review the WinCC system log (SysDiag) for database-related errors.

Free disk space by archiving or deleting old WinCC project data. Restart the Microsoft SQL Server service and then restart WinCC runtime. Increase the configured archive size or enable automatic segment swapping in Alarm Logging settings.

Process values in WinCC displays are frozen or show '#####' substitution values

Substitution values indicate that WinCC cannot read the associated tags from the PLC. Check the tag status in WinCC Online Tag Control or Tag Management. Verify the PLC program is running and the relevant data blocks are not write-protected or reorganized.

Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and the data block addresses referenced in WinCC tags still exist. Update tag addresses in WinCC if the PLC program has been modified. Restart the affected communication channel in WinCC Channel Diagnostics.

WinCC project opens in engineering mode but runtime activation fails

Check the Windows Event Viewer and WinCC diagnostic log for error messages during activation. Verify that all required WinCC services (e.g., SQL Server, WinCC Service Mode) are running in Windows Services.

Start all required WinCC-related Windows services manually. Ensure no other WinCC instance is already running. If the project database is corrupted, use the WinCC project duplicator to create a clean copy and re-activate runtime.
