Siemens 6AV6372-1HC08-0AX0 SIMATIC WinCC
€ 658,70
The Siemens 6AV6372-1HC08-0AX0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family, a professional SCADA and HMI visualization platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license for 128 power tags, enabling process visualization and operator control on PC-based HMI systems. It is part of the broader SIMATIC WinCC V7 software suite developed by Siemens for industrial process monitoring and control.
WinCC Runtime with 128 power tags provides a scalable visualization environment capable of displaying real-time process data, alarms, trends, and reports. The software supports OPC DA/UA communication standards, enabling integration with a wide range of PLCs and field devices beyond the Siemens ecosystem. It includes a comprehensive alarm management system, historical data logging, and a scripting interface based on VBScript and C for custom automation logic. The platform supports redundancy configurations and multi-client/server architectures for high-availability applications.
This WinCC Runtime license is widely deployed in manufacturing plants, water and wastewater treatment facilities, energy management systems, and building automation environments. The 128 power tag tier makes it suitable for small to medium-scale installations where a limited number of process variables need to be monitored and controlled from a central PC-based operator station. Its compatibility with the broader Siemens TIA Portal and SIMATIC S7 PLC families makes it a natural choice for sites already operating within the Siemens automation ecosystem.

Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 1000001
- WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime could not initialize correctly, often due to a missing or invalid license.
Verify that the license is correctly installed using the Siemens License Manager (Automation License Manager). Reinstall the license if necessary. - Event ID: 1000002
- Tag communication error — one or more power tags cannot establish communication with the connected PLC or data source.
Check the channel driver configuration, verify PLC connection parameters (IP address, rack/slot), and confirm the PLC is online and reachable. - Event ID: 1000010
- Archive database error — the process value or alarm archive cannot be written to, often due to disk space or SQL Server issues.
Check available disk space on the archive drive, verify that the Microsoft SQL Server service is running, and check WinCC database integrity using the WinCC Configuration Studio. - Event ID: 1000020
- License tag count exceeded — the number of active power tags in the project exceeds the licensed limit of 128.
Reduce the number of active power tags in the project to within the 128-tag limit, or upgrade to a higher tag-count WinCC Runtime license. - Event ID: 1000030
- OPC server connection lost — the WinCC OPC DA or OPC UA server connection to a client or external system has been interrupted.
Check network connectivity between the OPC server and client, verify OPC server configuration, and restart the OPC service if necessary. - Event ID: 1000050
- Redundancy switchover event — WinCC has detected a failure on the primary server and has switched operation to the redundant server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure (hardware, network, or software fault), restore the primary server, and perform a manual synchronization if automatic resynchronization does not occur. - Event ID: 1000060
- Script runtime error — a VBScript or C script within the WinCC project has encountered an execution error.
Open the WinCC Script Diagnostics tool to identify the faulty script and line number. Correct the script logic and redeploy the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the tag limit for the 6AV6372-1HC08-0AX0 WinCC Runtime license?
This license supports up to 128 power tags, which defines the maximum number of process variables that can be actively communicated and archived within the WinCC Runtime environment.
Is this WinCC Runtime license compatible with TIA Portal projects?
WinCC V7 Runtime is a standalone SCADA platform and is not directly integrated into TIA Portal. TIA Portal uses WinCC Advanced or WinCC Professional for panel and PC-based HMI. WinCC V7 is configured using its own WinCC Configuration Studio environment.
What PLCs can WinCC Runtime communicate with using this license?
WinCC Runtime supports communication with Siemens SIMATIC S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 PLCs via the S7 protocol, as well as third-party devices via OPC DA, OPC UA, and various channel drivers.
Does this license support redundant server configurations?
Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime supports server redundancy. However, a separate redundancy license and a second server installation are required to enable the redundancy functionality.
What operating system is required to run this WinCC Runtime software?
WinCC V7 Runtime requires a compatible 64-bit Windows operating system, such as Windows 10 (specific editions) or Windows Server 2016/2019, along with Microsoft SQL Server for database archiving functions.
Troubleshooting
WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC Runtime license for 128 tags is present and not expired or transferred to another machine.
Reinstall or transfer the license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license dongle (if used) is connected, or verify the software license is bound to the correct hardware fingerprint.
Process tags show no values or display connection errors in the Runtime
Check the WinCC channel driver configuration for the connected PLC. Verify the PLC IP address, rack and slot settings, and confirm the PLC is powered on and reachable via the network.
Correct the channel driver parameters in WinCC Configuration Studio, ensure the PC firewall is not blocking S7 communication ports, and restart the WinCC Runtime after making changes.
Alarm archiving or trend data is not being recorded
Check whether the Microsoft SQL Server service (used by WinCC for archiving) is running. Also verify available disk space on the drive where WinCC archives are stored.
Start the SQL Server service if it is stopped, free up disk space if necessary, and check the WinCC archive configuration for correct storage paths and cycle times.
WinCC Runtime project loads but screens appear blank or graphics are missing
This may indicate a corrupted project file, missing graphic objects, or a display driver incompatibility on the host PC.
Validate the project in WinCC Configuration Studio for errors, reinstall any missing WinCC components, and ensure the PC graphics driver is up to date and compatible with the WinCC version installed.
OPC client cannot connect to WinCC OPC server
Check Windows DCOM settings, firewall rules, and user account permissions on the WinCC server PC, as OPC DA communication relies on DCOM configuration.
Configure DCOM permissions using dcomcnfg.exe to allow remote access for the OPC client user account, open the required firewall ports, and verify that the WinCC OPC server service is running.
