Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BN07-5AJ0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. It is a SCADA and HMI visualization software package designed for use on PC-based operator stations, enabling process visualization, monitoring, and control in industrial automation environments. This part number corresponds to a specific WinCC runtime license variant, defining the number of power tags and functional scope available to the operator.

WinCC runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization with dynamic graphics, alarm and event management, historical data logging, trend displays, and report generation. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Industrial Ethernet, and OPC/OPC UA, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers. The software runs on standard Windows operating systems and integrates tightly with the SIMATIC engineering environment, including TIA Portal and STEP 7.

The SIMATIC WinCC runtime is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and energy management, as well as in discrete manufacturing and building automation. Its scalable licensing model allows it to be used on single-operator workstations up to large multi-client SCADA architectures. The software is particularly suited for applications requiring reliable long-term data archiving, complex alarm management, and integration with enterprise-level IT systems via standard interfaces.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup error — the runtime could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error messages. Verify that the WinCC installation is complete and that the license key (dongle or software license) is correctly installed.
Event ID: 1000008: License not found or invalid license for the configured number of power tags.
Verify that the correct WinCC runtime license is installed using the Siemens License Manager (Automation License Manager). Ensure the license matches the configured power tag count.
Event ID: 1000040: Communication channel to PLC failed or connection interrupted.
Check network cabling and PROFIBUS/PROFINET configuration. Verify PLC is powered and reachable. Check channel driver settings in WinCC Tag Management.
Event ID: 1000050: Database connection error — WinCC cannot connect to the SQL Server instance.
Ensure Microsoft SQL Server (required by WinCC) is running. Check SQL Server service status in Windows Services and verify WinCC database configuration.
Event ID: 1000070: Alarm logging system error — alarm archive could not be opened or written.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify that the alarm archive path is accessible and that the WinCC service account has write permissions.
Event ID: 1000090: Tag logging error — process value archive write failure.
Check disk space and archive configuration. Verify that the SQL Server archive database is not full and that the configured archive cycle is valid.
Event ID: 1000100: Redundancy synchronization error (if WinCC redundancy is configured).
Check network connectivity between the master and standby WinCC servers. Verify redundancy configuration settings and ensure both systems are running the same WinCC version.
Event ID: 1000200: Script runtime error — a VBScript or C-script in the WinCC project encountered an execution error.
Review the WinCC diagnostics log for the specific script name and line number. Correct the script logic or variable references in the WinCC project editor.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag capacity of the 6AV6371-2BN07-5AJ0 WinCC license?

The exact power tag count for this specific license variant should be confirmed against the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data, as the suffix codes in the part number define the tag count tier. WinCC runtime licenses are available in steps from 128 up to 150,000 power tags.

Is this WinCC license a single-user or multi-user (client-server) license?

This part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime license for PC-based operator stations. Multi-client or server licensing requires additional WinCC server or client licenses; the specific scope should be verified against the Siemens ordering documentation for this part number.

Which version of Windows is supported by this WinCC runtime?

WinCC V7.x supports Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate (64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2016/2019 depending on the specific WinCC service pack. Refer to the Siemens compatibility matrix for the exact WinCC version associated with this SKU.

Can this WinCC runtime communicate with non-Siemens PLCs?

Yes, WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA communication standards, allowing connectivity to third-party PLCs and automation systems that provide OPC server interfaces, in addition to native SIMATIC S7 drivers.

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

WinCC runtime licenses are managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Depending on the specific variant, the license may be delivered as a software license key or bound to a USB hardware dongle; the delivery format should be confirmed at the time of purchase.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error message

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 number of configured power tags in the project.

Install or transfer the correct WinCC runtime license using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is connected and recognized by Windows before starting the runtime.

WinCC cannot connect to the PLC and all tags show invalid or error status

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the Tag Management editor. Verify the PLC IP address or PROFIBUS address is correctly configured. Use a ping test or SIMATIC NET diagnostics to confirm network reachability.

Correct the communication channel configuration in WinCC Tag Management. Ensure the PLC is powered and the network interface is operational. Restart the WinCC channel driver if the connection was previously working.

WinCC Runtime crashes or freezes shortly after startup

Review the Windows Event Viewer Application and System logs for error entries at the time of the crash. Check whether Microsoft SQL Server is running, as WinCC depends on it for archiving and alarm logging.

Ensure SQL Server is set to start automatically and is running before WinCC starts. Check available RAM and disk space. If the issue persists, repair the WinCC installation using the original installation media.

Historical trend data or alarm archives are not being recorded

Check the WinCC alarm logging and tag logging configuration for correct archive paths and cycle settings. Verify available disk space on the archive drive and check SQL Server database size limits.

Free up disk space or configure WinCC to use a larger archive drive. Adjust the archive size limits in the WinCC logging configuration. Restart the WinCC logging components from the WinCC Explorer.

WinCC project opens in engineering mode but graphics do not display correctly at runtime

Check for missing or broken picture links in the WinCC Graphics Designer. Verify that all referenced external images, ActiveX controls, or scripts are present and compatible with the installed WinCC version.

Repair broken picture object links in Graphics Designer. Ensure all required ActiveX components are registered on the PC. If the issue follows a WinCC version upgrade, review the migration notes and update deprecated objects.
