Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF07-0DX0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. This part number corresponds to a WinCC flexible or WinCC V7 runtime package designed for PC-based SCADA and HMI visualization on standard industrial or office-grade Windows PCs. It provides a scalable supervisory control and data acquisition environment for process visualization, operator control, and monitoring tasks.

The software supports a wide range of communication interfaces including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and OPC DA/UA, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers. WinCC offers features such as tag-based licensing, alarm management, trend displays, historical data logging, and report generation. The runtime environment supports redundant server configurations, multi-client architectures, and web-based client access, making it suitable for both standalone and distributed HMI deployments.

This WinCC runtime license is used across a broad spectrum of industries including manufacturing, water and wastewater treatment, energy management, chemical processing, and building automation. It is particularly well-suited for applications requiring centralized process visualization with robust data archiving and alarm handling capabilities. The software integrates natively with the SIMATIC automation ecosystem, reducing engineering effort when used alongside S7-300, S7-400, or S7-1500 series PLCs.

Common System Event Codes

Event ID: 1000001: WinCC runtime startup failure. The runtime could not be initialized due to a configuration or system error.
Check the WinCC diagnostic log files in the project directory. Verify that all required Windows services are running and that the project database is not corrupted.
Event ID: 1000002: Communication channel error. The connection to the configured PLC or data source has been lost or could not be established.
Verify network connectivity and PLC availability. Check channel driver configuration and ensure the correct communication parameters (IP address, rack/slot) are set.
Event ID: 1000003: Tag limit exceeded. The number of configured process tags exceeds the licensed tag count for this runtime package.
Reduce the number of active tags to within the licensed limit, or upgrade the WinCC runtime license to a higher tag count variant.
Event ID: 1000004: Database connection failure. WinCC cannot connect to the SQL Server database used for archiving and alarm logging.
Verify that Microsoft SQL Server is running and accessible. Check SQL Server instance name and authentication settings in the WinCC project configuration.
Event ID: 1000005: License not found or invalid. WinCC runtime cannot detect a valid license for the installed software version.
Check that the SIMATIC license key is correctly installed using the Automation License Manager. Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Event ID: 1000006: Redundancy switchover event. The active WinCC server has failed and the standby server has taken over operation.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure. Check hardware, network connections, and Windows event logs on the primary server before attempting to restore redundancy.
Event ID: 1000007: Archive backup failure. Scheduled archiving of process or alarm data to the backup location has failed.
Verify that the backup target path is accessible and has sufficient disk space. Check Windows user permissions for the WinCC service account on the backup directory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag count or power tag limit for the 6AV6372-2DF07-0DX0 license?

The exact tag count for this specific part number should be verified against the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data, as the 6AV6372 series covers multiple tag-count variants. Common runtime sizes include 128, 512, 2048, and 65536 tags.

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

Yes, WinCC V7 runtime supports communication with S7-1500 PLCs via PROFINET and OPC UA. The appropriate channel driver must be configured within the WinCC project.

Can this software be used for web-based HMI access?

Yes, WinCC V7 supports web client access through the optional WinCC Web Navigator add-on, allowing operators to monitor and control processes from standard web browsers on the same network.

Does WinCC 6AV6372-2DF07-0DX0 support redundant server configurations?

WinCC V7 supports server redundancy as an optional feature. A redundancy license and a second server PC are required to configure an active/standby redundant WinCC server pair.

What Windows operating systems are supported by this WinCC runtime?

WinCC V7 runtime is compatible with Windows 7 (64-bit), Windows 10 (64-bit), and Windows Server 2012/2016 editions, depending on the specific WinCC version. Siemens publishes a compatibility matrix for supported OS versions.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start and displays a license error on launch

Open the Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license is present and assigned to the local computer. Verify the license matches the installed WinCC version and tag count.

Reinstall or transfer the correct license using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is properly connected and recognized by Windows before starting the runtime.

Process tags show no value updates and display connection error indicators

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the Tag Management editor. Verify that the PLC is reachable via ping and that the communication channel driver is correctly configured with the right IP address, rack, and slot number.

Correct any misconfigured communication parameters in the WinCC project. Restart the channel driver from the WinCC Explorer and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and accessible on the network.

Alarm logging stops recording new alarms and the alarm archive appears empty

Check whether the Microsoft SQL Server service is running on the WinCC station. Review the WinCC diagnostic log for database connection errors and verify available disk space on the archive drive.

Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped. Free up disk space if the archive drive is full, and consider configuring automatic archive backup and deletion policies to prevent recurrence.

WinCC project opens but all graphics screens appear blank or fail to load

Check for missing or corrupted project files in the WinCC project directory. Verify that the WinCC version installed matches the version used to create the project, as version mismatches can prevent screen rendering.

Restore the project from a recent backup if files are corrupted. If a version mismatch exists, migrate the project to the installed WinCC version using the project migration tool provided in the WinCC installation.

Web Navigator clients cannot connect to the WinCC server

Verify that the WinCC Web Navigator server component is installed and running on the WinCC server PC. Check Windows Firewall settings to ensure that the required HTTP or HTTPS ports are open and that IIS is correctly configured.

Enable the required firewall rules for WinCC Web Navigator and ensure IIS is running with the correct virtual directory configured. Confirm that the client browser meets the compatibility requirements specified by Siemens for the installed WinCC version.
