Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BR18-0AJ0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to the SIMATIC WinCC product family, developed by Siemens for PC-based SCADA and HMI visualization. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime package with a 128-PowerTag (process variable) license, enabling runtime visualization of industrial processes on standard PC hardware. It is part of the broader SIMATIC WinCC V7 generation of supervisory control and data acquisition software.

The WinCC Runtime 6AV6371-2BR18-0AJ0 supports up to 128 process tags (PowerTags), providing connectivity to Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET/TCP/IP) communication interfaces. The software includes integrated alarm logging, trend displays, report generation, and an OPC DA/UA server interface for third-party system integration. It operates on Windows-based PC platforms and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications. The runtime environment is fully compatible with WinCC configuration projects created in the WinCC Explorer engineering environment.

This WinCC Runtime license is widely deployed in manufacturing automation, process industries such as water treatment and chemical processing, energy management systems, and building automation. Its PC-based architecture allows integration with enterprise-level IT systems, databases (via OLE DB/SQL), and MES platforms, making it suitable for applications requiring centralized process monitoring, data archiving, and operator control across multiple production lines or plant sections.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime process could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error messages. Verify that the WinCC license (dongle or software license) is correctly installed and recognized. Reinstall WinCC Runtime if necessary.
Event ID: 112: License not found or invalid. The required PowerTag license for the configured number of tags could not be validated.
Verify the SIMATIC License Manager shows the correct license for 128 PowerTags. Ensure the hardware dongle (SIMATIC Automation License Manager key) is connected or the software license is properly transferred.
Event ID: 10241: Communication error to PLC. WinCC Runtime cannot establish or maintain a connection to the configured SIMATIC S7 controller.
Check network or PROFIBUS/MPI cable connections. Verify PLC IP address or station address settings in the WinCC channel configuration. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and accessible.
Event ID: 10000: Tag logging runtime error. The archive database for process value logging has encountered an error or is unavailable.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server or WinCC internal database service is running. Restart the tag logging runtime component from WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 10001: Alarm logging runtime error. The alarm archive is unavailable or cannot be written to.
Check disk space and database service status. Verify alarm logging configuration in WinCC Explorer. Restart the alarm logging runtime component.
Event ID: 10400: OPC server connection failure. A connected OPC DA or OPC UA client cannot communicate with the WinCC OPC server.
Verify DCOM settings and firewall rules allow OPC communication. Check that the WinCC OPC server service is running. Confirm OPC client is using the correct server ProgID or endpoint URL.
Event ID: 10600: Redundancy switchover event. The WinCC redundant server has performed a switchover from master to standby server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure (network, hardware, or software fault). Restore the primary server and perform a manual synchronization via the WinCC Redundancy configuration tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many process tags does the 6AV6371-2BR18-0AJ0 license support?

This license supports up to 128 PowerTags (process variables), which defines the maximum number of process values that can be connected and visualized in the WinCC Runtime environment.

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

Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers via Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET/TCP/IP) using the appropriate WinCC channel driver.

Can the 6AV6371-2BR18-0AJ0 be used in a redundant server configuration?

Yes, WinCC Runtime supports server redundancy. A second WinCC server with an equivalent license can be configured as a standby system to ensure high availability.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC Runtime version?

WinCC V7 Runtime is supported on Windows 7, Windows 10, and Windows Server editions as specified in the Siemens compatibility matrix for the specific WinCC V7 service pack version.

Does this license include the WinCC configuration (engineering) environment?

No, the 6AV6371-2BR18-0AJ0 is a Runtime-only license. A separate WinCC Engineering license (WinCC RC) is required to create or modify WinCC projects in the WinCC Explorer configuration environment.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Open the SIMATIC Automation License Manager and check whether the WinCC Runtime 128 PowerTag license is listed and valid. Check if a hardware dongle is required and connected.

Transfer or repair the license using the Automation License Manager. If using a hardware dongle, ensure it is connected to a USB port and recognized by Windows. Contact Siemens license support if the license is corrupted.

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

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer under the communication channel. Verify the PLC connection status and check for communication error events in the WinCC system log.

Verify PLC IP address, MPI/PROFIBUS address, and network connectivity. Restart the WinCC channel driver from WinCC Explorer. Ensure the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.

WinCC Runtime crashes or freezes after extended operation

Check Windows Event Viewer and the WinCC diagnostic log files located in the WinCC project directory for error entries. Monitor system RAM and CPU usage during runtime operation.

Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for WinCC V7 with 128 tags. Apply the latest WinCC V7 service pack and hotfixes from Siemens Support. Check for memory leaks caused by third-party scripts or OPC clients.

Historical trend data or alarm archives are missing or incomplete

Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC archive database. Verify that the SQL Server or WinCC internal database service is running in Windows Services.

Free up disk space or configure WinCC archive segmentation to limit archive size. Restart the database service and the WinCC tag logging or alarm logging runtime. Verify archive backup settings to prevent data loss.

OPC client cannot connect to the WinCC OPC DA server

Test OPC connectivity using an OPC test client tool. Check Windows DCOM configuration settings and firewall rules on the WinCC server PC. Verify the OPC server ProgID used by the client application.

Configure DCOM permissions to allow remote OPC access (dcomcnfg). Open the required firewall ports for OPC DA communication. Ensure both client and server are in the same Windows domain or workgroup with matching user credentials.
