Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF07-0HH4 is a WinCC runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family, which is a professional SCADA and HMI visualization platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime package with a defined number of power tags, designed to run on standard PC-based hardware under Windows operating systems. It serves as the core software component for process visualization, data acquisition, and operator control in industrial automation environments.

The WinCC runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trending, reporting, and historical data archiving. It supports a wide range of communication drivers enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, MPI, and Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET), as well as OPC DA and OPC UA interfaces for third-party system integration. The platform supports redundant server configurations, multi-client architectures, and web-based client access, allowing distributed monitoring across a plant network. Scripting capabilities via VBScript and ANSI-C enable custom logic and dynamic screen behavior.

WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in process industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment, and oil and gas, as well as in discrete manufacturing and infrastructure applications. Its scalable tag-based licensing model allows it to be sized appropriately for small standalone installations or large distributed control systems. The software's integration with the broader Siemens TIA Portal and SIMATIC ecosystem makes it a natural choice for plants already utilizing Siemens PLC and drive infrastructure.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC runtime startup error — the runtime system failed to initialize correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for detailed error messages. Verify that all required WinCC services are running and that the license is correctly installed.
Event ID: 1001: Communication channel to PLC is not established or has been lost.
Verify network connectivity to the PLC, check channel configuration in WinCC Explorer, and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 112: License not found or license has expired.
Check the SIMATIC License Manager (Automation License Manager) to confirm a valid license is installed. Transfer or activate the correct license for this runtime version.
Event ID: 10240: Tag logging database error — process value archiving has encountered a fault.
Check available disk space on the archive drive. Verify SQL Server service is running and that the WinCC project database is not corrupted.
Event ID: 10241: Alarm logging error — alarm archiving system has stopped or failed.
Restart the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime component. Check database integrity and available disk space.
Event ID: 10000: OPC server connection failure — WinCC OPC DA or OPC UA server is unreachable.
Verify OPC server configuration, check firewall settings, and confirm DCOM permissions are correctly configured for OPC DA connections.
Event ID: 20001: Script runtime error — a VBScript or C-script has encountered an unhandled exception.
Review the script editor for syntax errors. Check the WinCC diagnostics log for the specific script name and line number causing the fault.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count for the 6AV6372-2DF07-0HH4 license?

The 6AV6372-2DF07-0HH4 corresponds to a WinCC runtime license with a specific power tag limit as defined by Siemens' licensing structure. Refer to the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC catalog or the Automation License Manager to confirm the exact tag count for this part number.

What communication protocols does WinCC support with this runtime license?

WinCC supports PROFIBUS DP, MPI, Industrial Ethernet (PROFINET/TCP/IP), OPC DA, and OPC UA. Additional communication drivers for third-party PLCs and field devices can be installed separately.

Is this WinCC runtime license compatible with TIA Portal?

WinCC runtime licenses for PC-based SCADA are part of the classic WinCC product line. TIA Portal-based HMI projects use WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional, which have separate licensing. Compatibility depends on the specific WinCC version installed.

Can WinCC be operated in a redundant server configuration with this license?

Yes, WinCC supports redundant server configurations where a standby server takes over automatically if the primary server fails, provided the appropriate redundancy option license is also installed.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC runtime software?

SIMATIC WinCC runtime is supported on Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows Server editions as specified in the corresponding WinCC version release notes. Older WinCC versions may support Windows 7. Always verify OS compatibility against the specific WinCC version being installed.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime fails to start after installation

Check the Windows Event Viewer under Application and System logs for error messages. Verify that the SIMATIC WinCC services (e.g., WinCC Service Mode) are set to start automatically and are running.

Ensure all prerequisites are installed including the correct version of Microsoft SQL Server and .NET Framework. Reinstall WinCC if service dependencies are missing or corrupted.

No communication between WinCC and SIMATIC S7 PLC

Open WinCC Explorer and check the channel configuration for the S7 driver. Verify the PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address is correctly configured. Use SIMATIC NET diagnostics to test the physical connection.

Correct any addressing errors in the channel configuration. Ensure the PC network adapter is correctly configured for Industrial Ethernet and that no firewall is blocking S7 communication ports.

License error displayed at runtime startup

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license is present and bound to the correct hardware (USB dongle or software fingerprint).

Transfer the correct license from a license storage medium using the Automation License Manager. If the license is lost due to hardware failure, contact Siemens for license recovery procedures.

Process values not being archived or trend displays are empty

Check that the WinCC Tag Logging runtime component is active. Verify that Microsoft SQL Server is running and that the WinCC project database has sufficient disk space allocated.

Restart the Tag Logging runtime from WinCC Explorer. Clear old archive data if disk space is exhausted, and ensure SQL Server services are set to start automatically with Windows.

WinCC web client cannot connect to the WinCC server

Verify that the WinCC Web Navigator server component is installed and running. Check IIS (Internet Information Services) configuration and confirm that the correct port (typically 80 or 443) is open in the Windows firewall.

Reconfigure IIS settings as per the WinCC Web Navigator installation guide. Ensure the WinCC server PC firewall allows inbound connections on the web port and that the client browser has the required ActiveX or HTML5 components installed.
