Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BM18-0AJ0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. It is a PC-based SCADA and HMI visualization software package designed for industrial process monitoring, control, and data acquisition on standard Windows-based computing platforms. This part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime license with a specific power tag count, enabling operator stations to visualize and interact with industrial automation processes.

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 SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Industrial Ethernet, as well as OPC UA and OPC DA for third-party system integration. The software includes scripting capabilities via VBScript and C-Script for custom automation logic, and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications.

The SIMATIC WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in manufacturing, process industries, energy management, water treatment, and building automation applications. It is particularly suited for use as an operator station in larger SCADA architectures where centralized monitoring of multiple controllers and field devices is required. Its integration with the broader Siemens TIA Portal and SIMATIC ecosystem makes it a natural choice for plants already utilizing Siemens automation hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag count or power tag limit for the 6AV6371-2BM18-0AJ0 license?

The 6AV6371-2BM18-0AJ0 is a WinCC runtime license; the specific power tag count is encoded in the part number variant. Refer to the Siemens WinCC ordering data documentation to confirm the exact tag limit for this SKU, as tag counts range from 128 to unlimited depending on the license tier.

Is this a single-user or multi-user license?

WinCC runtime licenses of this type are typically single-station runtime licenses. Multi-user or client-server configurations require additional client licenses.

Which version of WinCC does this license correspond to?

The version is indicated by the part number suffix. Siemens WinCC has multiple versions (V7.x, V8.x); consult the Siemens product catalog or the license certificate included with the software to confirm the exact version.

Can this WinCC runtime license be used with TIA Portal?

WinCC runtime for PC-based SCADA (WinCC V7.x) is a separate product from WinCC in TIA Portal (WinCC Advanced/Professional). This license applies to the standalone WinCC SCADA platform, not the TIA Portal-integrated variant.

Does this license require a hardware dongle or is it software-based?

SIMATIC WinCC runtime licenses are typically delivered as software-based licenses tied to the PC hardware or managed via the Siemens License Manager (Automation License Manager). A hardware dongle may be required for certain license types.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start after installation

Check the Windows Event Viewer for application errors. Verify that the Automation License Manager shows a valid, active license for the installed WinCC version and tag count.

Ensure the correct license is transferred and activated in the Automation License Manager. Reinstall the license if it shows as invalid, and confirm the PC meets the minimum hardware and OS requirements for the WinCC version.

Communication loss to SIMATIC S7 PLC during runtime

Check the network connection and verify the configured PLC address and communication driver settings in WinCC Explorer. Use the SIMATIC NET diagnostic tools to test the connection.

Verify the IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address of the PLC matches the WinCC channel configuration. Restart the WinCC communication channel or the Tag Management service, and check for network hardware faults.

Alarm archiving stops recording new alarms

Check available disk space on the archive drive and review the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration for archive size limits or circular buffer settings.

Free up disk space or increase the configured archive size limit. Restart the Alarm Logging runtime component from WinCC Explorer if the service has stopped unexpectedly.

Trend displays show no data or gaps in historical values

Verify that the Tag Logging (process value archiving) is active in WinCC runtime and that the relevant tags are assigned to an active archive.

Restart the Tag Logging runtime service and confirm that archive tags are correctly configured with appropriate cycle times. Check disk space and database integrity using the WinCC database tools.

WinCC runtime license shown as invalid after PC hardware change

WinCC software licenses are typically bound to the PC hardware fingerprint. A hardware change (e.g., motherboard replacement) can invalidate the license binding.

Use the Siemens Automation License Manager to transfer the license back to a valid medium (USB dongle or license disk) before the hardware change, then re-transfer it to the new PC. Contact Siemens support if the license cannot be recovered.
