Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BP08-0AJ0 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 industrial process visualization and control on PC-based systems. This specific part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime package with a defined number of power tags, enabling process data visualization and operator control on standard or industrial PCs running Windows.

The WinCC runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trending, 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 through OPC DA/UA interfaces. The software includes a scripting environment (VBScript and C-Script) for custom automation logic, and supports redundancy configurations for high-availability applications. The 6AV6371-2BP08-0AJ0 variant is licensed for up to 8192 power tags, making it suitable for medium to large-scale process installations.

WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, and power generation, as well as in discrete manufacturing environments including automotive assembly and food and beverage production. Its compatibility with the broader Siemens TIA Portal engineering framework and SIMATIC controller portfolio makes it a natural choice for facilities already operating Siemens automation infrastructure. The scalable tag-based licensing model allows operators to expand system capacity as plant requirements grow.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC runtime startup failure. The runtime could not be started due to a configuration or licensing error.
Check that the license key is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Verify that the WinCC project is not corrupted and restart the runtime.
Event ID: 1000008: Connection to the PLC lost. The communication driver cannot establish or maintain a connection to the configured controller.
Verify network cabling and IP/PROFIBUS address settings. Check that the PLC is powered and in RUN mode. Review the channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 1000022: Tag logging error. Process value archiving has stopped or failed to write data to the archive database.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server service is running. Review archive configuration for invalid tag assignments.
Event ID: 1000040: License tag count exceeded. The number of active power tags in the project exceeds the licensed limit.
Reduce the number of active power tags to within the licensed limit (8192 for this SKU) or upgrade the WinCC license to a higher tag count.
Event ID: 1000051: Alarm logging database error. The alarm server cannot write to or read from the alarm archive.
Check SQL Server status and database integrity. Ensure the WinCC service account has sufficient database permissions. Restart the WinCC alarm logging service.
Event ID: 1000065: Script runtime error. A VBScript or C-Script action has encountered an unhandled exception during execution.
Open the WinCC Script Diagnostics tool to identify the faulty script and line number. Correct the script logic and reload the runtime.
Event ID: 1000080: Redundancy switchover event. The WinCC redundancy system has switched from the primary to the standby server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure (network, hardware, or software). Restore the primary server and perform a redundancy resynchronization.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many power tags does the 6AV6371-2BP08-0AJ0 license support?

This WinCC runtime license supports up to 8192 power tags, which defines the maximum number of process variables that can be actively connected and visualized at runtime.

Is this WinCC license compatible with TIA Portal?

WinCC V7 runtime licenses such as this one are primarily used with the classic WinCC configuration environment. For TIA Portal-based projects, WinCC Runtime Professional licenses with TIA Portal integration are the appropriate choice, though some interoperability exists depending on the version.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC runtime?

WinCC V7 runtime is supported on Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate (64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 10 (64-bit), and Windows Server 2016/2019, depending on the specific WinCC version installed. Refer to the Siemens compatibility matrix for the exact supported OS versions.

Can WinCC communicate with third-party PLCs using this license?

Yes, WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA interfaces, allowing communication with third-party controllers and devices that provide an OPC server. Additional communication drivers may be required depending on the target system.

Does this license include WinCC options such as redundancy or WebNavigator?

No, the base runtime license does not include optional add-ons. WinCC options such as Redundancy, WebNavigator, DataMonitor, and ConnectivityPack are separately licensed and must be purchased and installed independently.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license for the correct tag count is present and not in a trial or expired state.

Transfer a valid license from the license storage medium using the ALM tool. Ensure the license matches the installed WinCC version and tag count. If the license is missing, contact Siemens or your software vendor for license recovery.

Process tags show status 'Bad Quality' or no values are updating on screen

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics for the affected communication driver. Verify PLC connectivity by pinging the controller IP address and confirming the PLC is in RUN mode.

Correct any network configuration issues, verify the PLC address settings in the WinCC tag management, and restart the affected communication channel. If using PROFIBUS, check the bus address and cable integrity.

Alarm archive or trend archive stops recording data

Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC archive database. Verify that the Microsoft SQL Server service (used by WinCC) is running via Windows Services.

Free up disk space or redirect archives to a larger volume. Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped. Review WinCC archive settings to ensure the archive size limits and backup cycles are correctly configured.

WinCC project cannot be opened and reports a database error

The WinCC project database (Microsoft SQL Server) may be corrupted or the SQL Server instance may not be running. Check the Windows Event Viewer for SQL Server error entries.

Restart the SQL Server service and attempt to reopen the project. If corruption is confirmed, restore the project from the most recent backup. Run the WinCC project consistency check tool to identify and repair minor database inconsistencies.

Scripts (VBScript or C-Script) are not executing as expected at runtime

Enable the WinCC Script Diagnostics window to capture runtime script errors. Check for syntax errors, missing object references, or timing issues in the script logic.

Correct identified script errors in the WinCC Graphics Designer or Global Script editor. Ensure that all referenced tags and objects exist in the project. Recompile and reload the runtime after making corrections.
