Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF07-0DX4 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) SCADA/HMI software package belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC automation software family. This part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime or configuration license, designed to provide supervisory control and data acquisition capabilities for industrial process visualization on PC-based platforms. It is a Siemens product intended for use within the SIMATIC automation environment.

WinCC offers a comprehensive set of features including tag-based licensing, a powerful graphics designer for creating process screens, integrated alarm management, trend displays, and historical data archiving. The software supports a wide range of communication interfaces including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and OPC UA/DA, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers. It includes a robust scripting environment (VBScript and C-Script), multi-user server-client architecture support, and integration with the SIMATIC IT and TIA Portal ecosystems.

WinCC is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, oil and gas, and power generation, as well as in discrete manufacturing environments including automotive assembly and machine tool operations. Its PC-based architecture allows for flexible hardware selection and easy integration with enterprise-level IT systems, making it suitable for both standalone machine-level HMI applications and large-scale distributed SCADA installations.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime system could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for underlying OS errors. Verify that all WinCC services are running and that the license dongle or software license is correctly installed.
Event ID: 1000003: License not found or invalid. WinCC cannot find a valid runtime license.
Verify that the SIMATIC license (via Automation License Manager) is correctly installed and assigned. Check USB dongle connection if applicable.
Event ID: 1000010: Database connection error. WinCC cannot connect to the internal SQL Server database.
Ensure Microsoft SQL Server (required version for the WinCC release) is running. Restart SQL Server services and then restart WinCC Runtime.
Event ID: 1000020: Communication channel fault. The configured communication driver cannot establish a connection to the PLC.
Check physical network connections and PLC availability. Verify channel configuration parameters (IP address, rack/slot number) in WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 1000030: Tag logging error. Process value archiving has stopped or failed.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server is operational and that archive segment sizes are within configured limits.
Event ID: 1000040: Alarm logging failure. Alarm system could not write to the alarm archive.
Check disk space and SQL Server status. Review alarm logging configuration in WinCC and ensure the alarm database is not corrupted.
Event ID: 1000050: Graphics Runtime error. A process screen failed to load or render correctly.
Check the affected screen for missing or corrupt objects. Re-open the screen in WinCC Graphics Designer and recompile. Verify all linked tags exist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of license does the part number 6AV6372-2DF07-0DX4 represent?

This part number corresponds to a SIMATIC WinCC software license. The specific tag count or runtime/engineering scope is encoded in the order number; consult the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC catalog or Automation License Manager for the exact license scope associated with this part.

Which Windows operating systems are supported by this WinCC version?

SIMATIC WinCC is supported on Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows Server editions as specified by Siemens for the corresponding WinCC version. Always verify compatibility with the specific WinCC release version against the Siemens compatibility list.

Can WinCC communicate with non-Siemens PLCs?

Yes, WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA standards, allowing communication with third-party PLCs and automation systems that provide OPC-compatible servers. Dedicated communication drivers for various third-party protocols may also be available.

Is the Automation License Manager required to run WinCC?

Yes, Siemens SIMATIC WinCC requires the Automation License Manager (ALM) to manage and validate software licenses. The ALM must be installed on the same PC or on a license server accessible on the network.

Can this WinCC license be used in a server-client architecture?

WinCC supports server-client configurations where a WinCC server hosts the project and multiple WinCC clients connect to it. The appropriate server and client licenses must be obtained separately depending on the number of clients required.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC license is present and not in a defective state. Verify the USB dongle is connected if a hardware-based license is used.

Transfer or repair the license using the Automation License Manager. If the license is on a USB dongle, try a different USB port. Contact Siemens license support if the license shows as defective.

No data updates visible on process screens; all tags show last known value or error state

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in WinCC Explorer under the communication driver. Verify network connectivity to the PLC using ping or STEP 7/TIA Portal online diagnostics.

Restore network connectivity between the WinCC PC and the PLC. Correct any misconfigured IP addresses or rack/slot parameters in the WinCC channel configuration, then restart the communication channel.

WinCC project fails to open and reports a database error

Check whether the Microsoft SQL Server instance used by WinCC is running. Open Windows Services and look for the SQL Server (WINCC) service status.

Start the SQL Server service if it is stopped. If the service fails to start, check the SQL Server error logs. In severe cases, a WinCC project repair using the WinCC project duplicator or backup restoration may be required.

Alarm archive fills up and new alarms are no longer recorded

Check available disk space on the drive where WinCC archives are stored. Review the alarm logging configuration for maximum archive size and segment settings.

Free up disk space by archiving or deleting old data segments. Adjust the alarm logging configuration to use a drive with sufficient capacity, or enable automatic deletion of old archive segments.

Process screens load slowly or the Runtime interface becomes unresponsive

Check CPU and RAM usage on the WinCC PC using Windows Task Manager. Identify whether a specific screen with a high number of dynamic objects or scripts is causing the performance issue.

Optimize heavily loaded screens by reducing the number of dynamic objects or optimizing VBScript/C-Script cycles. Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for the installed WinCC version and tag count.
