Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6671-5AE00-0AX0 is a software license for SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2008 Standard, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the engineering environment used to configure and program SIMATIC HMI panels, including the OP, TP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. It is a PC-based software package delivered as a licensed product for use on Windows-based engineering workstations.

WinCC flexible 2008 Standard supports configuration of a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices and includes tools for screen design, tag management, alarm logging, recipe management, and trend displays. The software communicates with SIMATIC S7 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and PROFINET interfaces, and supports simulation of HMI projects directly on the engineering PC without requiring physical hardware. It includes a library of pre-built faceplates and objects to accelerate project development, and supports multi-language project configuration for international deployments.

This software is used across a broad range of industrial automation applications wherever SIMATIC HMI panels are deployed, including manufacturing, process control, packaging machinery, and building automation. It is particularly suited for system integrators and machine builders who need to develop, maintain, or modify HMI visualization projects for Siemens-based control systems. The Standard edition supports the full range of basic to mid-range SIMATIC HMI panel types.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000: License not found or license key missing on engineering PC
Ensure the SIMATIC WinCC flexible license is correctly installed using the Automation License Manager. Check that the USB dongle or software license is present and recognized.
Event ID: 1003: License version mismatch between installed software and license key
Verify that the license key version matches the installed WinCC flexible 2008 version. Update the license using Automation License Manager or transfer the correct license.
Event ID: 2000: Communication error during project download to HMI panel
Check the physical connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Verify the correct transfer channel (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet) is configured in the project settings.
Event ID: 2010: HMI panel not reachable during online transfer
Confirm the HMI panel is in transfer mode. Verify IP address or MPI address settings match the project configuration. Check cable connections and network settings.
Event ID: 3001: Project compilation error due to invalid tag configuration
Review the tag table for missing or incorrectly configured PLC connections. Ensure all referenced tags have valid addresses and data types assigned.
Event ID: 3010: Screen object references a non-existent tag
Open the affected screen in the editor and reassign or correct the tag reference for the flagged object. Recompile the project after correction.
Event ID: 4001: Simulation startup failure due to missing runtime components
Reinstall WinCC flexible 2008 ensuring all runtime simulation components are selected during installation. Verify that the PC meets the minimum system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008 Standard?

WinCC flexible 2008 Standard supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including the OP 73, OP 77, TP 177, TP 277, MP 277, and MP 377 series, as well as Mobile Panels such as the Mobile Panel 177.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal projects?

No, WinCC flexible 2008 is not directly compatible with TIA Portal. Projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 can be migrated to TIA Portal using the migration tool included in TIA Portal, but the two environments are separate.

What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports Windows XP Professional (SP3), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). It is not officially supported on Windows 10 or later without compatibility workarounds.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 simulate an HMI project without physical hardware?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes an integrated simulator that allows the HMI project to be tested on the engineering PC without requiring a physical HMI panel or PLC connection.

What is the Automation License Manager and is it required?

The Automation License Manager is a Siemens tool used to manage software licenses for SIMATIC products. It is required to activate and manage the WinCC flexible 2008 license and is installed automatically with the software.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to start and displays a license error on launch

Open the Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC flexible 2008 Standard license is listed and active. Verify the license has not expired or been transferred to another machine.

Transfer a valid license to the engineering PC using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is connected and recognized by the operating system before launching the software.

Project download to HMI panel fails with a communication error

Check the transfer cable connection between the PC and the HMI panel. Confirm the HMI panel is set to transfer mode and that the correct communication channel is selected in the WinCC flexible transfer settings.

Verify the PC COM port or Ethernet adapter settings, ensure the correct transfer channel (USB, MPI, or Ethernet) is selected, and confirm the HMI panel IP or MPI address matches the project configuration.

Compilation errors appear when building the HMI project

Review the error list in the output window of WinCC flexible. Errors typically reference specific screens or tags with invalid configurations, missing addresses, or type mismatches.

Correct all flagged tag addresses and data types in the tag table, remove or reassign broken object references in affected screens, then recompile the project.

WinCC flexible 2008 cannot be installed on Windows 10

The software was not designed for Windows 10 and may fail during installation or runtime due to compatibility issues with newer operating system components.

Install the software on a supported operating system such as Windows 7. Alternatively, use a virtual machine running Windows 7 on the Windows 10 host to run WinCC flexible 2008 in a compatible environment.

Simulation does not reflect PLC tag values during testing

The integrated simulator does not connect to a live PLC by default. Tag values in simulation mode are controlled manually or via scripts within the simulation environment.

Use the simulation control panel within WinCC flexible to manually set tag values for testing. For live PLC testing, download the project to a physical HMI panel connected to the PLC.
