Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BM07-5AJ0 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 part of the broader Siemens TIA Portal and classic SIMATIC automation ecosystem, providing a powerful environment for visualizing and controlling industrial processes.

The 6AV6371-2BM07-5AJ0 package provides process visualization, alarm management, trending, and reporting capabilities within the WinCC framework. 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 using VBScript and ANSI-C for custom logic and screen navigation. The platform supports redundant server configurations and multi-client architectures for high-availability installations.

WinCC software packages such as the 6AV6371-2BM07-5AJ0 are widely deployed in process industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, power generation, and oil and gas facilities. They are also used in discrete manufacturing environments for machine monitoring, production data acquisition, and operator interface stations. The PC-based architecture allows integration with enterprise-level IT systems, MES, and ERP platforms, making it suitable for facilities requiring both shop-floor control and higher-level data connectivity.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup error — the runtime application failed to initialize correctly, often due to a missing or corrupt project file.
Verify the project path is correct and accessible. Re-open the project in WinCC Explorer and restart the runtime.
Event ID: 1001: Tag communication error — a configured tag cannot be read from the connected PLC or data source.
Check the communication channel configuration, verify PLC connection parameters (IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS address), and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 112: License not found — the required WinCC license (runtime or configuration) is not detected on the local machine or license server.
Insert the valid USB license dongle or activate the software license via the Siemens License Manager (Automation License Manager). Verify the license matches the installed WinCC version and tag count.
Event ID: 10241: Database connection failure — WinCC cannot connect to the internal SQL Server database used for archiving and alarm logging.
Check that the Microsoft SQL Server instance (WINCC) is running via Windows Services. Restart the SQL Server service and then restart WinCC Runtime.
Event ID: 2501: OPC server connection lost — communication to an OPC DA or OPC UA server has been interrupted.
Verify the OPC server is running and accessible on the network. Check firewall settings and DCOM configuration for OPC DA connections. Re-establish the OPC channel in WinCC Channel Manager.
Event ID: 10000: Redundancy switchover event — the WinCC redundancy system has detected a failure on the primary server and switched to the standby server.
Investigate the primary server for hardware or software faults. Restore the primary server and re-synchronize the redundancy pair using the WinCC Redundancy Editor.
Event ID: 50000: Script runtime error — a VBScript or ANSI-C script within the WinCC project has encountered an execution error.
Open the WinCC Script Diagnostics tool to identify the faulty script and line number. Correct the script logic and reload the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of product is the Siemens 6AV6371-2BM07-5AJ0?

The 6AV6371-2BM07-5AJ0 is a SIMATIC WinCC software package from Siemens, used for SCADA and HMI visualization on PC-based systems. It provides runtime and/or configuration functionality for industrial process visualization.

Which PLCs are compatible with this WinCC software?

WinCC is primarily designed for use with Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs, including the S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 series. Third-party PLCs and devices can also be integrated via OPC DA or OPC UA interfaces.

What communication protocols does WinCC support?

WinCC supports MPI, PROFIBUS, and PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet for direct Siemens PLC communication, as well as OPC DA and OPC UA for broader system integration with third-party devices and servers.

Does this WinCC package support server redundancy?

Yes, SIMATIC WinCC supports redundant server configurations, allowing a standby server to take over automatically in the event of a primary server failure, ensuring high availability for critical process visualization applications.

What operating system is required to run this WinCC software?

SIMATIC WinCC requires a Microsoft Windows operating system. Supported versions depend on the specific WinCC release; typically Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows Server editions are supported for current WinCC V7 releases.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Check the Siemens Automation License Manager to verify whether a valid WinCC license is present. Confirm the license type matches the installed WinCC version and the configured tag count does not exceed the licensed limit.

Insert the correct USB license dongle or transfer a valid license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license is not already in use on another machine if it is a single-seat license.

Tags show no value or display '#COM' error in WinCC Runtime

This indicates a communication failure between WinCC and the connected PLC or data source. Verify the PLC is powered on and in RUN mode, and check the channel configuration in WinCC for correct IP address, rack, and slot settings.

Correct the communication channel parameters in WinCC Explorer under Tag Management. Test connectivity using a PING command for Ethernet connections or check PROFIBUS cable integrity. Restart the WinCC channel after making corrections.

WinCC alarms and trends are not being archived or historical data is missing

This is typically caused by the internal SQL Server database service not running or the archive database being full or corrupt. Check Windows Services for the SQL Server (WINCC) instance status.

Restart the SQL Server (WINCC) service via Windows Services Manager. If the database is full, increase the archive size or enable automatic backup and cleanup in the WinCC Archive Manager settings.

WinCC project opens in configuration mode but screens do not display correctly after migration

Screen display issues after migration often result from version incompatibilities between the WinCC project version and the installed WinCC software version, or missing graphics objects and ActiveX controls.

Run the WinCC project migration wizard to update project files to the current version. Reinstall any missing ActiveX or custom controls. Check the WinCC diagnostic log for specific object errors and update or replace affected screen objects.

WinCC Runtime crashes intermittently during operation

Intermittent crashes can be caused by insufficient system resources (RAM, CPU), conflicts with third-party software, or corrupt project scripts. Review the Windows Event Viewer and WinCC diagnostic files for error entries at the time of the crash.

Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for the installed WinCC version. Disable unnecessary background applications. Review and debug VBScript or ANSI-C scripts for infinite loops or memory leaks. Apply the latest WinCC service pack or hotfix from Siemens Support.
