Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF07-0GH0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) SCADA/HMI software package from Siemens, part of the SIMATIC HMI software family. This part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime or configuration license, designed to run on standard PC-based hardware for supervisory control and data acquisition applications. It belongs to the broader SIMATIC WinCC product line, which provides a scalable, PC-based HMI and SCADA solution for industrial process visualization and control.

WinCC 6AV6372-2DF07-0GH0 provides a comprehensive engineering and runtime environment for creating and operating process visualization screens, trend displays, alarm management, and data archiving. 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. It includes a powerful scripting environment (VBScript/C-Script), integrated historian functionality, and supports multi-user server-client architectures. The software is designed to run on Windows-based industrial PCs and standard workstations, with configurable tag counts and runtime licensing options.

WinCC is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, as well as discrete manufacturing environments including automotive assembly and machine building. Its scalability from single-station installations to distributed multi-server SCADA systems makes it suitable for both small machine-level HMI applications and large plant-wide supervisory systems. The software integrates natively with the Siemens TIA Portal engineering framework and the broader SIMATIC automation ecosystem.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure – the runtime system could not be started due to a configuration or licensing error.
Check that a valid WinCC license is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Verify the project configuration for errors and restart the runtime.
Event ID: 10000: Communication error to PLC – WinCC cannot establish or maintain a connection to the configured SIMATIC controller.
Check the network cable and PROFIBUS/PROFINET connection. Verify the PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address in the WinCC channel configuration. Ensure the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Event ID: 10001: Tag read/write error – a process tag could not be read from or written to the connected controller.
Verify the tag address configuration in WinCC Tag Management. Check that the corresponding data block or memory area exists in the PLC program. Confirm communication channel is active.
Event ID: 20000: License not found or license count exceeded – the number of configured tags or connected clients exceeds the licensed quantity.
Check installed licenses using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Upgrade the license to a higher tag count or client count as required.
Event ID: 30000: Archive database error – the WinCC process data archive or alarm archive has encountered a database fault.
Check available disk space on the WinCC server. Run the WinCC database consistency check tool. If the archive is corrupt, restore from a backup or reinitialize the archive.
Event ID: 40000: Redundancy switchover event – WinCC redundancy system has detected a failure on the primary server and switched to the standby server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure (hardware, OS, or network issue). Restore the primary server and perform a redundancy resynchronization from the WinCC project manager.
Event ID: 50000: Script runtime error – a VBScript or C-Script action has encountered a runtime error during execution.
Review the WinCC diagnostics log for the specific script name and line number causing the error. Correct the script logic in the WinCC Graphics Designer or Global Script editor and reload the runtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of product is the Siemens 6AV6372-2DF07-0GH0?

The 6AV6372-2DF07-0GH0 is a SIMATIC WinCC HMI/SCADA software license from Siemens. It provides a PC-based visualization and supervisory control environment for industrial automation applications.

Which PLCs are compatible with WinCC 6AV6372-2DF07-0GH0?

WinCC is natively compatible with the full range of SIMATIC S7 controllers including S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, and S7-1500 via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, or MPI. Third-party PLCs can be connected using OPC DA or OPC UA interfaces.

What communication protocols does this WinCC software support?

The software supports PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, MPI, OPC DA, and OPC UA communication protocols. Additional protocol drivers may be available depending on the installed WinCC channel packages.

Does this software require a hardware dongle or is it a software license?

WinCC licenses are managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) software. Licenses can be stored on a USB dongle or transferred to the hard drive of the engineering or runtime PC.

Is WinCC 6AV6372-2DF07-0GH0 compatible with the Siemens TIA Portal?

WinCC integrates with the Siemens TIA Portal engineering framework, allowing unified configuration of PLCs and HMI visualization within a single engineering environment. Compatibility depends on the specific WinCC and TIA Portal version installed.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime does not start and displays a license error message

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license is present and not expired or transferred to another machine.

Install or transfer a valid WinCC runtime license using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is connected to the PC before starting the runtime.

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

Check the physical network connection (Ethernet cable or PROFIBUS connector). Verify the PLC address settings in the WinCC channel configuration match the actual PLC configuration. Ping the PLC IP address from the WinCC PC to confirm network connectivity.

Correct the IP address or PROFIBUS address in the WinCC Tag Management channel settings. Ensure the PLC is powered on and in RUN mode. Check firewall settings on the WinCC PC that may be blocking PROFINET communication.

WinCC archive database grows excessively large and disk space runs low

Check the WinCC archive configuration for tag logging cycles and retention periods. Verify that the archive backup and segmentation settings are correctly configured.

Reduce the logging cycle for non-critical tags or shorten the online retention period. Enable automatic archive segmentation and configure regular backups to an external storage location. Delete old archive segments that are no longer required.

Alarm screen in WinCC Runtime shows no alarms even though PLC fault conditions are active

Check the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration to verify that alarm tags are correctly mapped to the PLC bit addresses. Confirm that the alarm server is running in the WinCC project.

Correct the alarm tag addresses in WinCC Alarm Logging to match the actual PLC memory locations. Restart the WinCC alarm logging server component from the WinCC project manager.

WinCC Graphics Designer screens display incorrectly or objects are missing after project migration

Check the WinCC version compatibility between the source and target systems. Review the migration log for any objects or functions that were not fully converted during the project upgrade.

Update any deprecated graphic objects or script functions to the versions supported by the installed WinCC release. Re-create missing objects manually and validate all dynamic connections after migration.
