Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF67-4MX0 is a WinCC (Windows Control Center) runtime software license belonging to Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software family. WinCC is a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and human-machine interface (HMI) software platform designed for process visualization, monitoring, and control in industrial automation environments. This specific part number corresponds to a WinCC runtime package with a defined tag/variable count, enabling operator stations to visualize and interact with plant processes.

The WinCC runtime software provides a comprehensive set of features including process value archiving, alarm and event management, trend displays, and report generation. It supports a wide range of communication interfaces and drivers for connecting to Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and MPI, as well as third-party controllers via OPC DA/UA. The software runs on standard Windows-based industrial PCs and panel PCs, offering a scalable architecture that can be expanded with optional add-ons such as WinCC/DataMonitor, WinCC/WebNavigator, and redundancy packages.

WinCC runtime software is widely deployed in process industries including chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and energy management. It is also used in discrete manufacturing for machine monitoring, production line supervision, and quality data acquisition. Its compatibility with the broader Siemens TIA Portal and SIMATIC automation ecosystem makes it a standard choice for facilities already operating Siemens PLC and drive infrastructure.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: Connection to PLC lost or communication timeout on a configured channel
Check physical network connections, verify PLC is powered and running, confirm channel driver configuration and IP/MPI address settings in WinCC Explorer
Event ID: 1000002: Tag logging runtime error — archive database cannot be written
Check available disk space on the archive drive, verify SQL Server service is running, and review WinCC Diagnostics for database error details
Event ID: 1000003: License not found or license count exceeded
Verify the correct WinCC runtime license is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM); ensure the tag count does not exceed the licensed limit
Event ID: 1000004: Alarm server startup failure — alarm logging not active
Check that the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime component is enabled in the project, restart the WinCC runtime, and review the WinCC system log for detailed error messages
Event ID: 1000005: OPC server connection error — OPC DA/UA client cannot connect to configured server
Verify OPC server is running and accessible on the network, check firewall settings, and confirm OPC server URL and authentication credentials in WinCC channel configuration
Event ID: 1000006: Graphics runtime error — picture object cannot be loaded
Check that all referenced picture files exist in the project directory, recompile the project in WinCC Explorer, and ensure no file path conflicts exist
Event ID: 1000007: Redundancy switchover event — active server has changed
Investigate the cause of the primary server failure, check network connectivity between redundant servers, and review the WinCC redundancy log for switchover details

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the tag/variable count supported by this WinCC runtime license?

The exact tag count for part number 6AV6372-2DF67-4MX0 is defined by the specific license variant encoded in the part number. Siemens WinCC runtime licenses are available in tiers such as 128, 512, 2048, 8192, 65536, and unlimited tags; consult the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC catalog or the Automation License Manager to confirm the tag limit for this specific license.

Is this WinCC runtime license compatible with TIA Portal projects?

WinCC runtime V7.x licenses are used with the standalone WinCC configuration environment, while TIA Portal-integrated WinCC projects use WinCC Runtime Advanced or WinCC Runtime Professional licenses. Compatibility depends on the exact version; verify the version number before use with TIA Portal.

What operating systems are supported by this WinCC runtime?

SIMATIC WinCC V7 runtime is supported on Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate (64-bit), Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 10 (64-bit), and Windows Server 2016/2019, depending on the specific WinCC version. Refer to the Siemens compatibility list (SIMATIC WinCC readme) for the exact OS requirements for this release.

Can WinCC communicate with third-party PLCs?

Yes, WinCC supports OPC DA and OPC UA communication, allowing connectivity to third-party PLCs and automation systems that provide an OPC-compliant server. Additionally, specific channel drivers are available for some third-party systems.

Is a SQL Server installation required for WinCC runtime?

Yes, SIMATIC WinCC uses Microsoft SQL Server for its internal data archiving and alarm logging. The required SQL Server version is installed automatically during WinCC installation; no separate SQL Server license is required for the embedded instance used by WinCC.

Troubleshooting

WinCC runtime starts but no process values are displayed and all tags show error status

Check the WinCC channel diagnostics in the WinCC Explorer under 'Tag Management'. Verify that the communication driver is active and that the PLC address configuration (IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS address) is correct.

Correct the PLC address settings in the WinCC channel configuration, ensure the PLC is powered and in RUN mode, and verify network connectivity using a ping test. Restart the WinCC runtime after making changes.

WinCC runtime fails to start and displays a license error message

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC runtime license is present and not expired or transferred. Confirm the installed tag count license matches or exceeds the number of tags configured in the project.

Transfer a valid WinCC runtime license to the engineering PC or runtime station using the ALM tool. If the tag count is exceeded, upgrade to a higher-tier license or reduce the number of configured tags in the project.

Historical trend displays show no data or gaps in archived values

Check the WinCC Tag Logging runtime status in the WinCC Explorer. Verify that the SQL Server service (MSSQL$WINCC) is running in Windows Services and that sufficient disk space is available on the archive partition.

Restart the SQL Server service if it has stopped, free up disk space if the archive drive is full, and check the WinCC archive cycle settings to ensure the correct logging cycle is configured for the affected tags.

Alarm list in WinCC runtime is empty despite known process faults

Verify that the WinCC Alarm Logging runtime is active. Check that alarm triggers are correctly configured in the WinCC Alarm Logging editor and that the associated tags are receiving valid values from the PLC.

Enable the Alarm Logging runtime component in the WinCC project properties, recompile and restart the runtime, and confirm that the PLC tags linked to alarm triggers are updating correctly by checking the WinCC Tag Management status.

WinCC runtime crashes or freezes intermittently during operation

Review the Windows Event Viewer and the WinCC diagnostic log files located in the WinCC installation directory for error entries. Check system resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk I/O) during the period of instability.

Ensure the host PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for the WinCC version and tag count in use. Apply the latest WinCC service pack and hotfixes from Siemens Support. Disable unnecessary background applications and ensure antivirus software excludes WinCC and SQL Server directories.
