Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BG07-5AJ0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. WinCC is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) software platform designed for process visualization and operator control on PC-based systems. This particular part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime license with a defined number of power tags, enabling process data visualization and control on standard industrial or office PC hardware.

The WinCC runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trend displays, reporting, and historical data archiving. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers for connecting to Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as third-party controllers via OPC DA/UA. The software runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems and integrates with the broader SIMATIC software ecosystem including TIA Portal and STEP 7. Security features include user authentication, access level management, and audit trail functionality in compliance with industrial cybersecurity requirements.

WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater, food and beverage, and energy management. It is used in control room environments where operators require centralized monitoring and control of complex plant processes across multiple controllers and field devices. The scalable tag-based licensing model makes it suitable for installations ranging from small standalone machines to large distributed plant-wide SCADA systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: Connection to PLC lost or communication channel unavailable
Check network cabling and switch configuration. Verify PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address settings in WinCC channel configuration. Restart the communication channel driver.
Event ID: 1000003: Tag read/write error — the specified process tag could not be accessed
Verify the tag address in the WinCC Tag Management matches the actual PLC data block or memory address. Check PLC program for address changes.
Event ID: 1001001: Archive backup failed — historian could not write process data to disk
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify write permissions for the WinCC service account. Review archive segment settings and reduce archive cycle if necessary.
Event ID: 1002001: License not found or license count exceeded — runtime cannot start or is operating in demo mode
Verify the SIMATIC license dongle (USB) is connected or the software license is correctly installed via Automation License Manager. Check that the number of configured power tags does not exceed the licensed quantity.
Event ID: 1003001: Alarm logging system error — alarm database could not be accessed
Check SQL Server service status. Verify WinCC database files are not corrupted. Restart WinCC project and SQL Server service if necessary.
Event ID: 1004001: Script runtime error — a VBScript or C-Script action encountered an execution error
Open the WinCC Script Diagnostics tool to identify the faulting script and line number. Correct the script logic or variable references causing the error.
Event ID: 1005001: User administration error — login failed or user account locked
Verify user credentials in WinCC User Administrator. Unlock the account if locked due to failed login attempts. Check that the correct user group permissions are assigned.
Event ID: 1006001: OPC server connection error — OPC DA or OPC UA server is unreachable
Verify OPC server is running on the target system. Check DCOM settings for OPC DA connections. For OPC UA, verify endpoint URL, certificates, and firewall rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many power tags does the 6AV6371-2BG07-5AJ0 license support?

The exact power tag count for this specific part number variant should be confirmed against the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data, as the 6AV6371-2BG07-5AJ0 part number encodes the tag count in its suffix. WinCC licenses are available in tiers ranging from 128 to 262,144 power tags.

Is this WinCC license compatible with TIA Portal?

WinCC V7 runtime licenses are used with the classic WinCC engineering environment. For TIA Portal-based projects, WinCC Runtime Professional licenses with TIA Portal integration are required. Compatibility depends on the specific WinCC version encoded in this part number.

What PLCs can WinCC communicate with using this software?

WinCC supports native communication with SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI. Third-party PLCs and devices can be connected via OPC DA or OPC UA interfaces.

Does WinCC runtime require a hardware dongle?

SIMATIC WinCC runtime licenses are managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) software. Depending on the license type, the license may be stored on a USB dongle or as a software-based license on the PC.

On which operating systems can this WinCC runtime be installed?

WinCC V7 runtime is supported on Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit), and Windows Server editions as specified in the Siemens WinCC compatibility list. Installation on non-validated OS versions is not supported.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime starts in demonstration mode despite license being present

The Automation License Manager (ALM) does not detect a valid license for the installed WinCC version or the configured tag count exceeds the licensed power tag quantity.

Open the Automation License Manager and verify the license is listed as valid and not expired. Ensure the USB dongle is connected if a hardware-based license is used. Reduce the number of active power tags in the project if the tag limit is exceeded.

Process values on WinCC screens display as '#####' or show a red cross

The tag associated with the display object has lost its connection to the PLC, or the tag address is invalid.

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics for communication errors. Verify the PLC is online and reachable. Confirm the tag address in WinCC Tag Management matches the current PLC program structure.

WinCC project fails to open and reports a database error

The Microsoft SQL Server instance used by WinCC is not running or the WinCC project database files are corrupted.

Open Windows Services and verify that the SQL Server (WINCC) service is running. If the service fails to start, check the SQL Server error log. For corrupted databases, use the WinCC project duplicator to restore from a backup.

Alarm system shows no alarms despite known fault conditions in the PLC

The alarm tag addresses may be incorrectly configured, or the alarm logging system is not active in the WinCC project.

Verify alarm tag addresses in WinCC Alarm Logging match the PLC bit addresses. Confirm that alarm logging is activated in the project runtime settings. Check that the SQL archive service is running and disk space is available.

WinCC loses communication to the PLC intermittently

Network instability, incorrect channel configuration, or resource contention on the PC may cause periodic communication dropouts.

Check Ethernet cabling and switch port settings (disable energy-saving features on the NIC). Verify the SIMATIC communication driver is correctly configured with the right IP address and rack/slot settings. Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for the WinCC version in use.
