Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-1DF07-4AX0 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 process visualization and operator control on PC-based systems. This particular part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime package with a defined number of power tags, enabling process data visualization and control on standard industrial or office-grade PC hardware.

The WinCC runtime software supports a wide range of communication interfaces through integrated channel drivers, including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and OPC/OPC UA, allowing connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers. It provides features such as alarm management, trend displays, historical data archiving, report generation, and user administration with access level control. The software runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems and supports redundant server configurations for high-availability applications. Scripting capabilities via VBScript and C-Script allow for customized process logic and screen dynamics.

WinCC is widely deployed in industries such as automotive manufacturing, chemical processing, water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage production, and energy management. It is suited for applications requiring centralized process monitoring across multiple production lines or plant sections, where historical data logging and reporting are critical operational requirements. The scalable tag-based licensing model allows the software to be matched to the size and complexity of the installation.

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 license key (USB dongle or software license) is correctly installed and recognized. Check the WinCC diagnostic log for detailed error information and repair or restore the project database if corrupted.
Event ID: 1000008: Communication channel error. The configured channel driver cannot establish a connection to the target PLC or device.
Check physical network connections and verify the PLC address settings in the WinCC channel configuration. Ensure the PLC is powered and reachable on the network, and confirm that the correct channel driver version is installed.
Event ID: 1000022: Tag logging error. The process data archiving system has encountered an error and cannot write values to the archive database.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify that the SQL Server service (used by WinCC) is running and that the archive database is not corrupted. Restart the WinCC runtime and archive service if necessary.
Event ID: 1000040: License not found or invalid. WinCC runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured number of power tags.
Insert the correct USB license dongle or verify the software-based license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the license covers the required number of power tags configured in the project.
Event ID: 1000060: User administration error. A fault has occurred in the WinCC user management system, preventing user login or access control from functioning correctly.
Check the WinCC user administration configuration for corrupted entries. Re-create affected user accounts if necessary and ensure the Windows user account running WinCC has sufficient system privileges.
Event ID: 1000080: Alarm system error. The WinCC alarm logging system has stopped recording or displaying alarms.
Verify that the alarm logging database is accessible and not full. Restart the alarm logging component from the WinCC Control Center and check the diagnostic log for specific error details.
Event ID: 1000100: OPC server connection lost. The WinCC OPC server or OPC client connection to an external system has been interrupted.
Check network connectivity between the WinCC server and the OPC client or server. Verify OPC server configuration and DCOM settings on both systems. Restart the OPC service and re-establish the connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6372-1DF07-4AX0 license?

The 6AV6372-1DF07-4AX0 corresponds to a WinCC runtime license with 65536 power tags, suitable for large-scale process visualization installations. Power tags define the number of process variables that can be actively connected and archived at runtime.

What communication protocols does WinCC support with this license?

WinCC supports PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, Industrial Ethernet, OPC DA, and OPC UA through its integrated channel drivers. Additional third-party protocols can be connected via OPC interfaces or optional channel driver packages.

Is the 6AV6372-1DF07-4AX0 compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC V7 is compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs via PROFINET or Industrial Ethernet using the SIMATIC S7 channel driver. Ensure the correct channel driver version is installed for full compatibility.

Can WinCC be configured for a redundant server setup?

Yes, WinCC supports server redundancy configurations where a standby server automatically takes over if the primary server fails. Redundancy requires appropriate licensing for both the primary and standby servers.

What database system does WinCC use for archiving?

WinCC uses Microsoft SQL Server as its underlying database engine for process value archiving, alarm logging, and report data storage. The correct version of SQL Server must be installed as a prerequisite for WinCC runtime operation.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start after project is opened

Check the WinCC diagnostic log file located in the project directory for startup errors. Verify that the Automation License Manager detects a valid license and that all required Windows services (SQL Server, WinCC services) are running.

Ensure the USB license dongle is connected or the software license is activated via the Automation License Manager. Start any stopped Windows services required by WinCC and attempt to restart the runtime. If the project database is corrupted, restore from a backup or use the WinCC database repair tool.

No communication between WinCC and the PLC; all tags show error status

Verify the physical network or PROFIBUS connection between the PC and the PLC. Check the channel driver configuration in WinCC for correct PLC address, rack, and slot settings. Use diagnostic tools such as SIMATIC NET or a ping test to confirm network reachability.

Correct any misconfigured PLC address or network parameters in the WinCC channel configuration. Replace faulty network cables or communication cards if physical connectivity is confirmed as the issue. Restart the WinCC channel driver after making configuration changes.

Historical trend data is not being recorded or is missing

Check available disk space on the drive where the WinCC archive database is stored. Verify that the SQL Server service is running and that the tag logging configuration is active in the WinCC project.

Free up disk space if the drive is full, or redirect the archive to a drive with sufficient capacity. Restart the SQL Server service and the WinCC tag logging component. Review archive cycle settings to ensure logging intervals are correctly configured.

Alarms are not appearing in the WinCC alarm view at runtime

Check that the alarm logging system is active in the WinCC runtime and that alarm tags are correctly configured with valid limit values. Verify that the alarm view control on the HMI screen is properly connected to the alarm logging system.

Activate the alarm logging component in the WinCC runtime settings if it is disabled. Correct any misconfigured alarm tag limits or connections. Ensure the alarm view control properties reference the correct alarm class and logging database.

WinCC reports a license error after moving the project to a new PC

The WinCC license is tied to the USB dongle or a software-based license registered to the original system. Moving the project without transferring the license will cause a license validation failure at runtime startup.

Transfer the USB license dongle to the new PC, or use the Siemens Automation License Manager to move the software-based license to the new system. Ensure the new PC meets the minimum hardware and operating system requirements for the installed WinCC version.
