Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF27-0CH0 is a WinCC Runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC WinCC product family, a professional SCADA and HMI visualization platform. This part number corresponds to a WinCC Runtime license with a specific power tag count, enabling process visualization and operator control on PC-based HMI systems. It is part of the broader SIMATIC HMI software portfolio developed by Siemens for industrial process monitoring and control.

WinCC Runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process visualization, alarm management, trend displays, reporting, and historical data logging. The software supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as third-party controllers through OPC DA/UA interfaces. It includes a powerful scripting environment (VBScript and C-Script), multi-user server-client architecture support, and integration with the SIMATIC WinCC configuration studio for engineering.

This WinCC Runtime license is widely deployed in manufacturing plants, process industries, water and wastewater facilities, energy management systems, and building automation environments. Its scalability from small standalone HMI stations to large distributed multi-server SCADA systems makes it suitable for applications ranging from machine-level visualization to plant-wide supervisory control. Industries such as automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage commonly rely on WinCC Runtime for critical process oversight.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure — the runtime process could not be initialized correctly.
Check Windows Event Viewer for underlying errors. Verify that all required WinCC services are running and that the license dongle or software license is correctly installed.
Event ID: 1000001: License not found or invalid — WinCC Runtime cannot detect a valid license for the configured power tag count.
Verify that the correct license is installed using the Siemens License Manager (Automation License Manager). Ensure the license matches the required power tag count for this runtime.
Event ID: 1000002: Communication driver connection failure — WinCC cannot establish communication with the configured PLC or controller.
Check network connectivity, PROFIBUS/PROFINET configuration, and PLC availability. Verify channel and connection settings in WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 1000003: Tag logging database error — the historical data logging service has encountered a database fault.
Check the SQL Server service status. Verify database file integrity and available disk space. Restart the WinCC Tag Logging service if necessary.
Event ID: 1000004: Alarm logging overflow — the alarm buffer has exceeded its configured limit.
Increase the alarm buffer size in the WinCC Alarm Logging editor or archive alarms more frequently to prevent buffer overflow.
Event ID: 1000005: Project activation error — WinCC Runtime failed to activate the configured project.
Check project path and file integrity. Ensure no other WinCC instance is running the same project. Re-open and reactivate the project from WinCC Explorer.
Event ID: 1000006: OPC server connection error — the OPC DA/UA server is unreachable or returning errors.
Verify OPC server availability and DCOM configuration settings. Check firewall rules and OPC server logs for detailed error information.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power tag count supported by the 6AV6372-2DF27-0CH0 license?

The 6AV6372-2DF27-0CH0 is a WinCC Runtime license; the specific power tag count is encoded in the part number variant. Refer to the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC catalog or the Automation License Manager to confirm the exact tag count associated with this license key.

Which WinCC version does this license correspond to?

The 6AV6372-2DF27-0CH0 part number belongs to the SIMATIC WinCC V7 product generation. Ensure that the installed WinCC software version matches the license version for correct activation.

Is this a floating or node-locked license?

WinCC Runtime licenses from this series are typically node-locked and managed via the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). The license is tied to the hardware or software container on the target PC.

Can this WinCC Runtime license be used with S7-1500 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC V7 Runtime supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs via PROFINET and the S7 communication driver, as well as via OPC UA for modern integration scenarios.

Does WinCC Runtime require a separate SQL Server installation?

WinCC Runtime uses Microsoft SQL Server for its internal databases (tag logging, alarm logging, and user archive). A compatible SQL Server version is typically installed automatically during WinCC installation.

Troubleshooting

WinCC Runtime fails to start after installation

Check the Automation License Manager to confirm the license is correctly installed and not expired. Review the Windows Event Log and WinCC diagnostic log files for specific error messages.

Reinstall or transfer the license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the correct WinCC version is installed and that all required Windows components and SQL Server services are running.

No communication between WinCC and the PLC

Verify the network connection between the PC and PLC. Check the WinCC channel configuration and connection parameters (IP address, rack, slot). Use the WinCC Channel Diagnostics tool to identify the fault.

Correct the connection parameters in WinCC Explorer. Ensure the PLC is in RUN mode and reachable on the network. Check firewall settings that may block PROFINET or S7 communication ports.

Historical trend data is not being recorded

Check the status of the WinCC Tag Logging service in Windows Services. Verify that the SQL Server service is running and that the WinCC project database has sufficient disk space.

Restart the Tag Logging service and SQL Server if stopped. Free up disk space if the database volume is full. Check the Tag Logging configuration to ensure the correct tags are assigned to the archive.

Alarm messages are not appearing in the Runtime alarm view

Verify that the Alarm Logging server is active and that the alarm tags are correctly configured and connected to valid PLC data sources. Check the alarm class and display filter settings in the Runtime alarm control.

Reactivate the WinCC project and confirm alarm logging is enabled. Review alarm tag connections and ensure the PLC tags are updating correctly. Adjust display filters in the WinCC Alarm Control if alarms are being filtered out.

WinCC project activation fails with a database error

Check the SQL Server instance used by WinCC is running and accessible. Look for database corruption messages in the WinCC log files located in the project directory.

Repair the SQL Server instance if necessary. Use the WinCC project migration or repair tools to restore database integrity. If corruption is severe, restore from a recent project backup.
