Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BQ08-0AJ0 is a software license package belonging to the SIMATIC WinCC (Windows Control Center) family, developed by Siemens for use as a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) runtime and configuration environment. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime software package, designed to run on standard industrial PCs and panel PCs within the SIMATIC automation ecosystem. It provides a scalable platform for visualizing and controlling industrial processes through a PC-based HMI solution.

The WinCC software offers a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trending, reporting, and archiving of process data. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as third-party controllers through OPC DA/UA interfaces. The runtime environment supports scripting via VBScript and C-Script for custom automation logic, and integrates with Microsoft SQL Server for data archiving. The software is built on a client-server architecture, allowing multi-user access and distributed system configurations.

WinCC Runtime software of this type is widely deployed in manufacturing, process industries, energy management, water treatment, and building automation applications. It is particularly suited for applications requiring centralized monitoring of multiple controllers, historical data logging, and regulatory compliance reporting. The scalable licensing model allows deployment from small single-station systems up to large distributed SCADA installations with multiple clients and servers.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime system could not be started, often due to licensing issues or corrupted project data.
Verify that the WinCC license is correctly installed using the Automation License Manager. Check the WinCC diagnostic log files for detailed error information and repair or restore the project if corrupted.
Event ID: 1000022: Communication channel error. The configured communication driver cannot establish a connection to the target PLC or controller.
Check physical network connections and verify PLC IP address or PROFIBUS address settings. Ensure the correct communication driver is installed and the channel configuration matches the PLC settings.
Event ID: 1000040: Tag logging error. The archive system failed to write process values to the SQL Server database.
Verify that the Microsoft SQL Server service is running. Check available disk space and SQL Server connection settings within the WinCC project. Restart the tag logging service if necessary.
Event ID: 1000051: Alarm logging failure. The alarm server could not store or retrieve alarm records from the database.
Check SQL Server availability and disk space. Review alarm logging configuration in WinCC Explorer and restart the alarm logging runtime component.
Event ID: 1000070: License not found or invalid. WinCC Runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured number of power tags or runtime options.
Open the Automation License Manager and verify that the correct WinCC Runtime license is present and not expired. Transfer or repair the license as required.
Event ID: 1000090: OPC server connection lost. The WinCC OPC DA or OPC UA server lost connection to a connected OPC client or external system.
Verify OPC client configuration and network connectivity. Check DCOM settings for OPC DA connections. Restart the OPC server component within WinCC Runtime if the connection does not recover automatically.
Event ID: 1000110: Picture (screen) loading error. A process screen could not be loaded in the WinCC Runtime environment, possibly due to missing or corrupted graphics objects.
Recompile the affected screens in WinCC Graphics Designer. Check for missing linked objects or scripts and restore from a backup if the screen file is corrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WinCC power tag limit for this license?

The exact power tag count depends on the specific license variant encoded in the 6AV6371-2BQ08-0AJ0 part number. WinCC licenses are available in tiers ranging from 128 to unlimited power tags; consult the Siemens Automation License Manager after installation to confirm the licensed tag count for this specific package.

Which version of WinCC does this part number correspond to?

The 6AV6371-2BQ08-0AJ0 part number corresponds to a SIMATIC WinCC V7.x or V8.x software package. The exact version is encoded in the order number suffix; verify the version on the product packaging or the Siemens Industry Online Support portal.

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

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs via PROFINET and the S7 communication driver, provided the appropriate channel driver is installed and configured within the WinCC project.

Can WinCC be used in a multi-client server configuration?

Yes, WinCC supports a client-server architecture where multiple WinCC clients can connect to a central WinCC server, enabling distributed visualization and control across multiple operator stations.

Does WinCC support OPC UA for third-party system integration?

Yes, WinCC includes an integrated OPC UA server and client, allowing data exchange with third-party SCADA systems, MES platforms, and controllers that support the OPC UA standard.

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 on the local machine or a connected license dongle. Verify the license has not expired or been transferred to another machine.

Transfer the correct WinCC Runtime license to the engineering PC or runtime station using the Automation License Manager. If the license is on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected and recognized by the operating system.

No data is displayed on process screens; all tags show invalid or error status

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer under the communication channel settings. Verify network connectivity to the PLC and confirm the PLC address configuration matches the WinCC channel settings.

Correct the PLC IP address, PROFIBUS address, or MPI address in the WinCC channel configuration. Restart the communication channel and verify the PLC is in RUN mode and reachable on the network.

Historical trend data is missing or the tag logging archive is not recording values

Check whether the Microsoft SQL Server service is running via Windows Services Manager. Review the WinCC tag logging configuration to confirm the archive is enabled and the correct tags are assigned to the archive.

Start the SQL Server service if it is stopped. Ensure sufficient disk space is available on the archive drive. Reconfigure the tag logging cycle and archive settings in WinCC Explorer and restart the tag logging runtime.

WinCC client cannot connect to the WinCC server in a multi-station configuration

Verify network connectivity between the client and server PCs. Check that the WinCC server project is active and that the client is correctly configured with the server computer name in the WinCC project.

Ensure both client and server are on the same network subnet and that Windows Firewall rules permit WinCC communication ports. Re-enter the server name in the WinCC client project settings and restart the WinCC Runtime on the client station.

Alarm messages are not appearing in the WinCC alarm control on the operator screen

Check the alarm logging configuration in WinCC Explorer to verify that alarm classes and message blocks are correctly configured. Confirm that the alarm logging runtime component is active in the WinCC Runtime Manager.

Recompile the alarm logging configuration and restart the alarm logging runtime component. Verify that the PLC bit addresses assigned to alarm messages are correct and that the PLC program is generating the expected alarm triggers.
