Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-1KC08-0AX3 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 specific part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime license with a defined number of power tags, enabling process data visualization and control on standard industrial PC hardware.

The WinCC runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including tag-based process data management, alarm and event logging, trend displays, and report generation. It supports a wide range of communication drivers for connecting to Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET), as well as third-party controllers via OPC DA/UA interfaces. The software runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems and integrates with the broader Siemens TIA Portal engineering framework, supporting redundancy configurations and multi-client/server architectures for larger installations.

WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and energy management. It is suited for applications requiring centralized monitoring of distributed plant equipment, historical data archiving, and regulatory compliance reporting. The scalable tag-count licensing model allows the software to be adapted to small standalone workstations as well as large multi-server SCADA installations.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC runtime startup failure. The runtime system could not be activated due to a configuration or license error.
Check that a valid license is installed using the Siemens License Manager (SIMATIC Automation License Manager). Verify project configuration integrity and restart the runtime.
Event ID: 112000: Communication error to PLC. The configured communication channel cannot establish a connection to the target controller.
Verify network cable connections and IP/MPI/PROFIBUS address settings. Check that the PLC is powered and in RUN mode. Confirm the correct communication driver is installed and configured.
Event ID: 1004000: Tag logging error. The archive database cannot be written to, possibly due to disk space exhaustion or database corruption.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Run the WinCC database consistency check tool. Clear old archive data or expand storage capacity.
Event ID: 1008000: Alarm logging system fault. The alarm server cannot process or store incoming alarms.
Restart the WinCC alarm logging service. Verify the alarm database is not corrupted and that sufficient disk space is available.
Event ID: 1700000: License not found or license count exceeded. The number of configured power tags exceeds the licensed tag count.
Check the installed license using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Upgrade the license to a higher tag count or reduce the number of configured power tags in the project.
Event ID: 1003000: Graphics runtime error. A picture or screen object cannot be loaded or rendered correctly.
Verify that all referenced picture files exist in the project directory. Recompile the project graphics and restart the runtime. Check for missing or corrupt picture files.
Event ID: 1900000: Redundancy switchover event. The active WinCC server has failed and the standby server has taken over.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure (hardware, OS, or network issue). Restore the primary server and re-synchronize the redundant pair through the WinCC redundancy configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6372-1KC08-0AX3 license?

The 6AV6372-1KC08-0AX3 corresponds to a WinCC runtime license for 65536 power tags, suitable for large-scale SCADA installations requiring high tag counts.

Is this a perpetual license or a subscription license?

WinCC runtime licenses of this type are perpetual software licenses tied to the specific hardware or dongle on which they are activated via the Siemens Automation License Manager.

Can this WinCC runtime license be used with TIA Portal projects?

Yes, WinCC runtime software is compatible with projects engineered in the TIA Portal environment, as well as the standalone WinCC Configuration Studio for classic WinCC projects.

What communication protocols are supported for connecting to third-party PLCs?

WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA as standard interfaces for third-party PLC connectivity, in addition to native Siemens protocols such as PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI.

Does this license support a client/server architecture?

Yes, WinCC runtime supports multi-client/server configurations, allowing multiple operator stations to connect to a central WinCC server for distributed visualization and control.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to activate and displays a license error on startup

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid license for the required tag count is present and not already in use on another system.

Transfer or install the correct WinCC runtime license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license dongle (if used) is connected, or perform a software license transfer from the Siemens license portal.

Process values are not updating on screen and all tags show connection errors

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the Tag Management editor. Verify the PLC IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS address configured in the communication channel matches the actual controller settings.

Correct the communication channel parameters in WinCC Tag Management. Verify network connectivity using ping or PROFIBUS diagnostic tools. Restart the WinCC communication service after making changes.

Historical trend data is missing or the archive database is not recording values

Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC archive database. Open the WinCC Data Monitor or Archive Manager to verify the archive configuration and check for database errors.

Free up disk space or redirect the archive to a larger volume. Run the WinCC database repair utility if corruption is detected. Verify that the tag logging cycle and archive tags are correctly configured in the project.

WinCC client cannot connect to the WinCC server in a client/server setup

Verify that the WinCC server runtime is active and that the Windows firewall is not blocking WinCC communication ports. Check that the client project references the correct server computer name.

Configure Windows Firewall exceptions for WinCC services on both client and server. Ensure the server computer name is correctly entered in the client project settings. Verify that both systems are on the same network subnet and that DNS resolution is functioning.

Alarm system stops logging new alarms and the alarm view is frozen

Check the WinCC alarm logging service status in the Windows Services manager. Review the WinCC system log for alarm database write errors or service crashes.

Restart the WinCC Alarm Logging service from Windows Services or via the WinCC Explorer. If the alarm database is corrupted, restore from a backup or reinitialize the alarm archive. Ensure adequate disk space is available for continued alarm logging.
