Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BG08-0AX0 is a software license for SIMATIC WinCC, Siemens' professional SCADA and HMI runtime software platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a specific power tag count, belonging to the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product family. It is designed to run on standard industrial PCs and operator stations to provide supervisory control, data acquisition, and visualization for industrial automation systems.

SIMATIC WinCC offers a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trending, reporting, and historical data archiving. The software supports a wide range of communication interfaces including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, OPC DA/UA, and direct connections to Siemens S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet. It provides a scalable architecture supporting single-station, multi-station, and redundant server configurations, with client-server functionality for distributed monitoring and control.

SIMATIC WinCC is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, water treatment, and power generation, as well as in discrete manufacturing environments including automotive assembly and machine building. Its integration with the Siemens TIA Portal ecosystem and compatibility with SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs makes it a natural choice for plants already operating within the Siemens automation infrastructure. The software is also used in infrastructure applications such as building automation, transportation systems, and energy management.

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 detailed error messages. Verify that the WinCC license is correctly installed using the Siemens License Manager (ALM). Restart the WinCC project.
Event ID: 1001: Communication channel to PLC is interrupted or unavailable.
Check network cable connections and PROFIBUS/PROFINET configuration. Verify PLC IP address or MPI/DP address settings in WinCC Tag Management. Check PLC operating state.
Event ID: 2501: License not found or license count exceeded. WinCC Runtime is operating in demo mode.
Open the Automation License Manager and verify that a valid WinCC Runtime license with sufficient power tags is installed. Transfer the license from the license medium if required.
Event ID: 10241: Database connection error. WinCC cannot connect to the Microsoft SQL Server instance.
Verify that the SQL Server service (WINCC instance) is running via Windows Services. Restart the SQL Server service and then restart WinCC Runtime.
Event ID: 10001: Tag logging error. Process value archiving has stopped or failed to write data.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server is running and the archive database is not corrupted. Reconfigure the tag logging settings if necessary.
Event ID: 20001: Alarm logging system error. Alarm messages are not being recorded.
Check the alarm logging configuration in WinCC Explorer. Verify SQL Server connectivity and available disk space. Restart the alarm logging component from WinCC Runtime.
Event ID: 30001: Script runtime error. A VBScript or C-Script action has encountered an unhandled exception.
Open the WinCC Script Diagnostics tool to identify the faulty script. Review the script logic for runtime errors such as null object references or division by zero. Correct and recompile the script.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6371-2BG08-0AX0 license?

The 6AV6371-2BG08-0AX0 corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for 8192 power tags, suitable for medium to large-scale SCADA installations.

Is this license compatible with WinCC V7.5 and later versions?

This license is designed for the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product family. Compatibility with specific sub-versions such as V7.4 or V7.5 should be verified using the Siemens License Manager and the WinCC product release notes.

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

Yes, SIMATIC WinCC V7 Runtime supports redundant server configurations. A separate license is required for each server node in a redundant pair.

What communication drivers are included with WinCC Runtime?

WinCC Runtime includes communication channel drivers for SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet (TCP/IP), as well as OPC DA and OPC UA client and server functionality. Additional third-party communication drivers may require separate channel licenses.

Does this software require a dedicated industrial PC or can it run on a standard PC?

WinCC Runtime can be installed on a standard PC meeting the minimum hardware requirements specified by Siemens, but for production environments Siemens recommends using a validated SIMATIC IPC (industrial PC) to ensure long-term availability and compatibility.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error message

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC Runtime license with the correct power tag count is present and assigned to the local computer.

If the license is missing, transfer it from the original license USB medium using the ALM. If the license is present but not recognized, repair the ALM installation and restart the PC before retrying.

Process tags show no values or display connection error status in WinCC Runtime

Check the WinCC Tag Management to verify the communication channel configuration. Use the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool to test connectivity to the target PLC. Verify the PLC is in RUN mode and accessible on the network.

Correct the PLC address, IP address, or rack/slot configuration in the WinCC channel settings. Check firewall rules on the PC that may be blocking PROFINET or S7 communication ports. Restart the communication channel after making changes.

Historical trend data is missing or the trend display shows no archived values

Check whether the SQL Server service (WinCC instance) is running. Verify that the tag logging cycle and archiving configuration are correctly set up in WinCC Explorer. Check available disk space on the archive partition.

Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped. Free up disk space if the archive drive is full. Review and correct the tag logging configuration, then restart WinCC Runtime to resume archiving.

WinCC project opens in demo mode despite a license being installed

The Automation License Manager may not be detecting the license correctly, possibly due to a hardware change on the PC (e.g., network card replacement) that has invalidated the license binding.

Open the ALM and check the license status. If the license is shown as defective due to hardware change, contact Siemens technical support to request a license repair using the repair process provided through the Siemens Industry Online Support portal.

WinCC Runtime crashes or freezes intermittently during operation

Check the Windows Event Viewer and the WinCC diagnostic log files located in the WinCC project directory for error entries. Identify whether the crash correlates with specific script execution, database access, or communication events.

Update WinCC to the latest service pack and hotfix level available from Siemens. Disable or optimize any resource-intensive VBScript or C-Script actions. Ensure the PC meets the minimum RAM and CPU requirements for the configured power tag count.
