Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BP08-0AX0 is a software license package for SIMATIC WinCC (Windows Control Center), Siemens' professional SCADA and HMI runtime software platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license, enabling operator control and monitoring of industrial processes on standard PC-based hardware. It belongs to the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product family and is designed for use within Siemens' TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) ecosystem.

WinCC Runtime provides a powerful process visualization environment supporting tag-based licensing, with this variant supporting up to 8192 process tags (PowerTags). The software offers comprehensive alarming, trending, reporting, and scripting capabilities using VBScript and ANSI-C. It supports OPC DA/UA client and server functionality, enabling integration with third-party systems. Communication with Siemens PLCs is achieved via SIMATIC NET drivers, supporting PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Industrial Ethernet protocols. The platform runs on Windows operating systems and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications.

SIMATIC WinCC Runtime is widely deployed in process industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, water treatment, and power generation, as well as in discrete manufacturing and building automation. Its scalable tag-based licensing model makes it suitable for medium to large-scale SCADA installations requiring centralized monitoring and control across multiple production lines or plant areas. The software's open architecture and extensive driver library allow integration into heterogeneous automation environments.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime process could not be initialized, often due to licensing issues or corrupted project data.
Verify the WinCC license is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Check project integrity and restart the WinCC runtime.
Event ID: 112: Tag connection error — one or more process tags cannot be read from the connected PLC or data source.
Check the communication channel configuration, verify PLC is online and reachable, and confirm the correct driver is installed and configured.
Event ID: 10241: Archive database error — the WinCC tag or alarm archive database is unavailable or corrupted.
Check the Microsoft SQL Server service is running. Run the WinCC database consistency check tool and restore from backup if necessary.
Event ID: 1008: License not found or invalid — WinCC Runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured number of PowerTags.
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager, verify the correct license (8192 tags) is present and not expired or transferred. Reactivate or transfer the license as needed.
Event ID: 10001: Communication driver load failure — the specified SIMATIC NET or channel driver failed to load during runtime startup.
Reinstall the SIMATIC NET communication software, verify driver compatibility with the installed WinCC version, and check Windows Event Viewer for additional details.
Event ID: 2: Project open error — WinCC Runtime cannot open the specified project, possibly due to incorrect path, access permissions, or version mismatch.
Verify the project path is correct and accessible, ensure the WinCC project version matches the installed runtime version, and check Windows user account permissions.
Event ID: 10048: Redundancy switchover event — the active WinCC server has failed and the standby server has taken over operation.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure, check network connectivity and hardware health, and restore the primary server before performing a manual switchback.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many process tags (PowerTags) does the 6AV6371-2BP08-0AX0 license support?

This license supports up to 8192 PowerTags (process tags), making it suitable for medium to large-scale SCADA installations.

Is this WinCC Runtime license compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1500, S7-400, S7-300, and S7-1200 PLCs via SIMATIC NET drivers over PROFINET or Industrial Ethernet.

Can WinCC Runtime configured with this license operate in a redundant server setup?

Yes, WinCC V7 supports server redundancy configurations. A separate WinCC Redundancy option package is required in addition to the runtime license.

What operating systems are supported by SIMATIC WinCC V7 Runtime?

WinCC V7 Runtime is supported on Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit), and Windows Server 2012/2016 R2, depending on the specific WinCC V7 service pack version installed.

Does this license include OPC UA server functionality?

Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime includes OPC DA and OPC UA client and server functionality, allowing integration with third-party SCADA systems and devices that support these standards.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a licensing error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC Runtime license for 8192 tags is present, active, and not expired or moved to another machine.

Transfer or reactivate the correct license using the ALM tool. Ensure the license dongle (if used) is connected, or reactivate the software license on the correct hardware fingerprint.

Process tags show invalid or no values during runtime

Check the channel diagnostics in WinCC for communication errors. Verify the PLC is online, the IP address or MPI address is correctly configured, and the SIMATIC NET driver is running.

Correct the communication channel settings in WinCC Configuration Studio, restart the channel driver, and confirm network connectivity to the PLC using a ping test or SIMATIC NET diagnostic tools.

WinCC archive database becomes unavailable or reports SQL errors

Check the Windows Services panel to confirm that the Microsoft SQL Server (WinCC instance) service is running. Review the SQL Server error log and WinCC diagnostic log for specific database errors.

Restart the SQL Server service if stopped. Run the WinCC project consistency check. If the database is corrupted, restore from the most recent backup or use the WinCC database repair utility.

WinCC Runtime project opens but screens do not display correctly or appear blank

Check for missing or incompatible graphic objects, ActiveX controls, or scripts. Review the WinCC error log for object load failures or script runtime errors.

Reinstall any missing ActiveX controls or WinCC add-ons. Review and correct VBScript or C-script errors in the script editor. Ensure the display resolution and color depth settings match the project configuration.

Redundancy switchover does not occur when the primary server fails

Verify that the WinCC Redundancy package is correctly installed and configured on both servers. Check network connectivity between the primary and standby servers on the redundancy synchronization network.

Reconfigure the redundancy settings in WinCC, ensuring both servers have matching project versions and the synchronization network interface is correctly assigned. Test failover manually using the WinCC redundancy test function.
