Software packages

Siemens WinCC is the SCADA and HMI software platform used within the SIMATIC automation architecture for process visualization, operator control, and monitoring on SIMATIC Industrial PCs (IPCs). WinCC Runtime (RT) licenses are the deployed runtime component that determines the number of process tags (I/O points) that can be connected and monitored within the SCADA system.

WinCC RT licenses are tied to specific software versions and are required for each SIMATIC IPC on which WinCC runtime is deployed. For facilities running installed WinCC SCADA systems on SIMATIC IPC hardware, sourcing additional or replacement runtime licenses that match the IPC configuration requires version-compatible software.

PLC Direct carries Siemens WinCC software packages for SIMATIC IPC deployments. All 12 products in this collection are currently listed as out of stock. Customers with a specific WinCC RT license requirement should contact PLC Direct to inquire about sourcing options.

Where Siemens WinCC Software Is Used

WinCC Runtime licenses are deployed on SIMATIC IPC hardware used as operator stations, engineering stations, and server nodes in SCADA architectures across process and manufacturing industries.

Applications that require WinCC Runtime licenses include:

SIMATIC IPC-based operator stations in manufacturing and process plant control rooms

SCADA server nodes managing multiple HMI client connections via WinCC RT Client

Process visualization systems in chemical, pharmaceutical, water, and energy facilities
Machine-level visualization using WinCC runtime on embedded or panel IPC hardware

What to Know Before You Buy Siemens WinCC Software Packages

Software licensing for WinCC is version- and configuration-specific. Key factors to confirm before any purchase inquiry:

Current availability: All WinCC software package items in the PLC Direct collection are currently out of stock. Contact us to discuss sourcing options for specific part numbers.

Version compatibility: These packages are V7.5 SP2. Confirm that the target SIMATIC IPC installation is running WinCC V7.5 SP2 before inquiring, as runtime licenses are version-specific.

Tag count selection: WinCC RT licenses are tiered by the number of process tags (I/O connections) the runtime will manage. Select the correct tag count tier for the installed SCADA configuration.

Order conditions: WinCC packages for SIMATIC IPC are supplied by Siemens only when ordered alongside a matching quantity of SIMATIC IPC units. This original ordering condition may affect how surplus sealed packages are interpreted in a secondary market context. Contact PLC Direct to discuss your specific requirement.

Warranty: All Siemens software packages purchased from PLC Direct include a standard 1-year warranty covering the physical media and packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

WinCC Runtime (RT) is the deployed process visualization and SCADA software that runs on SIMATIC IPC hardware for operator control and monitoring. A runtime license is required for each IPC on which WinCC RT is deployed, with the license tier determining the number of process tags (connected I/O points) the runtime can manage. WinCC RT Client licenses allow SIMATIC IPCs to operate as client stations connected to a central WinCC server.

The PLC Direct software packages collection includes WinCC RT Client, WinCC RT 128, WinCC RT 512, WinCC RT 2048, WinCC RT 8192, and WinCC RT 65536 licenses for SIMATIC IPC, all at V7.5 SP2.

All WinCC software packages in the PLC Direct collection are currently out of stock. PLC Direct can source specific WinCC RT packages upon inquiry. Contact us with the exact part number and the required software version.

The packages in this collection are available in standard and Asia region variants. The Asia variants carry the suffix -5AV0, while standard variants carry -5AX0. Confirm which variant was used in the original IPC configuration before placing an inquiry.
