Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF67-0LH0 is a software license package belonging to the SIMATIC WinCC (Windows Control Center) family, developed by Siemens for use as a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) runtime and configuration platform. This part number corresponds to a specific WinCC software edition or upgrade package, designed to run on standard industrial PCs and panel PCs within the Siemens SIMATIC automation environment. It provides the engineering and runtime environment necessary to create, configure, and operate process visualization applications.

WinCC offers a comprehensive set of features including tag-based process data management, alarm and event logging, trend display, report generation, and user administration with role-based access control. The software supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Industrial Ethernet (TCP/IP), as well as OPC DA and OPC UA for third-party system integration. The platform supports redundant server configurations, multi-client architectures, and web-based client access, making it suitable for both standalone and distributed installations.

SIMATIC WinCC is widely deployed across process industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater, oil and gas, and food and beverage manufacturing. It is also used extensively in discrete manufacturing environments such as automotive assembly, machine tool operations, and material handling systems. The software's scalability, from single-station installations to large distributed multi-server systems, makes it applicable across a broad range of plant sizes and complexity levels.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000000: WinCC Runtime startup failure. The runtime application could not be initialized correctly.
Check the WinCC project configuration for consistency errors. Verify that all required drivers and communication channels are correctly configured and that the PC meets minimum system requirements.
Event ID: 1001: Communication channel connection failure. The configured PLC or data source is not reachable.
Verify network connectivity and PLC address settings. Check that the correct communication driver is installed and that the PLC is powered and online.
Tag Logging Error: Process value logging to the database has failed or been interrupted.
Check available disk space on the logging drive. Verify that the SQL Server or WinCC database service is running. Restart the Tag Logging runtime component if necessary.
Alarm Logging Error: Alarm and event logging service has encountered an error and stopped recording.
Check the WinCC Alarm Logging configuration. Verify database connectivity and available storage. Restart the Alarm Logging runtime component from the WinCC Explorer.
License Error: A valid WinCC license for the configured tag count or feature set was not found.
Verify that the correct Siemens SIMATIC software license is installed using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license matches the configured power tag count and installed options.
OPC Connection Fault: OPC DA or OPC UA server connection has been lost or cannot be established.
Verify that the OPC server is running and accessible. Check DCOM settings for OPC DA connections. For OPC UA, verify endpoint URL, security certificates, and firewall rules.
Redundancy Switchover: WinCC server redundancy switchover has occurred; the standby server has taken over as the active server.
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure. Check system event logs on the primary server. Restore the primary server and re-synchronize the redundant pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag count or power tag limit for this WinCC license?

The exact power tag count for part number 6AV6372-2DF67-0LH0 is defined by the specific license edition encoded in the part number. Refer to the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC ordering data or the Automation License Manager to confirm the licensed tag count for this SKU.

Is this a runtime-only license or does it include the WinCC configuration environment?

SIMATIC WinCC licenses of this type typically include both the engineering (configuration) environment and the runtime environment. The specific scope should be confirmed against the Siemens product ordering documentation for this part number.

Which versions of Windows are supported by this WinCC package?

SIMATIC WinCC is supported on Windows 10 (64-bit) and Windows Server editions as specified by Siemens for the corresponding WinCC version. Refer to the Siemens WinCC compatibility list for the exact supported operating system versions for this release.

Can this WinCC software communicate with third-party PLCs?

Yes, WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA interfaces, allowing communication with third-party PLCs and automation systems that provide compatible OPC servers. Native Siemens S7 communication drivers are also included.

Does this license support web client access?

Web client access via the WinCC Web Navigator is available as an optional add-on or may be included depending on the specific edition. Verify the license scope against the Siemens ordering documentation for this part number.

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 assigned to the local computer. Verify that the license matches the configured power tag count.

Install or transfer the correct WinCC license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the USB license dongle (if applicable) is connected, or that the software license is correctly activated on the target machine.

No communication between WinCC and the SIMATIC S7 PLC

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the WinCC Explorer. Verify the configured PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address. Use Siemens communication tools such as STEP 7 or TIA Portal to confirm the PLC is reachable from the PC.

Correct the communication channel configuration in WinCC. Verify network settings, firewall rules, and that the appropriate communication driver (e.g., SIMATIC S7 Protocol Suite or TIA Portal Integration) is correctly installed and configured.

Process values are not being logged to the database

Check the WinCC Tag Logging runtime status in WinCC Explorer. Verify that the Microsoft SQL Server service is running. Check available disk space on the drive hosting the WinCC project and database.

Restart the Tag Logging runtime component. Free up disk space if storage is insufficient. If the SQL Server service has stopped, restart it via Windows Services and check the SQL Server error log for underlying database issues.

WinCC project opens but all screens appear blank or graphics are missing

Check whether the WinCC Graphics Runtime is active. Verify that the project path and screen file references are intact and that no files have been moved or deleted from the project directory.

Reactivate the WinCC Runtime from WinCC Explorer. If screen files are missing, restore them from a project backup. Recompile the project and ensure all picture references are correctly resolved in the Graphics Designer.

Alarms are not appearing in the alarm view at runtime

Verify that the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime component is active. Check that alarm tags are correctly configured and that the alarm limits or discrete alarm triggers are properly set in the Alarm Logging editor.

Restart the Alarm Logging runtime component. Review alarm configuration in the WinCC Alarm Logging editor to ensure tags, limits, and message classes are correctly defined. Confirm that the alarm view control on the HMI screen is connected to the correct message window.
