Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1AE00-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the runtime and configuration environment for developing and operating HMI (Human-Machine Interface) applications on Siemens operator panels and PC-based systems. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI product line and is designed for use with the STEP 7 and TIA Portal engineering ecosystems.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of Siemens HMI devices, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. The software includes features such as tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and report generation. It supports communication via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Ethernet interfaces, and is compatible with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and other Siemens PLC families. The platform supports multilingual project development and provides a library of pre-built faceplates and graphic objects.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine building applications across industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. It is suited for projects requiring centralized HMI configuration across multiple operator panels, enabling consistent visualization and operator interaction throughout a production facility. The software's scalability makes it applicable to both small standalone machine installations and large distributed plant environments.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000: WinCC flexible Runtime startup error — the runtime application failed to initialize correctly.
Check that the correct runtime license is installed and that the project file is not corrupted. Reinstall the runtime if necessary.
Event ID: 1001: Communication connection lost between HMI runtime and PLC.
Verify network or fieldbus cabling, check PLC communication settings, and confirm that the correct driver and connection parameters are configured in the project.
Event ID: 1002: Tag read/write error — a configured tag could not be read from or written to the connected controller.
Check tag address configuration in the project, verify PLC data block or memory area exists, and confirm communication is active.
Event ID: 1003: License not found — no valid WinCC flexible license detected on the system.
Install the correct license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the license matches the software version and edition.
Event ID: 1004: Project transfer error — project could not be transferred to the HMI panel.
Check USB or Ethernet transfer connection, verify the target device is in transfer mode, and confirm the project is compiled without errors before transfer.
Event ID: 1005: Alarm buffer overflow — the alarm log buffer has reached its maximum capacity.
Archive or clear the alarm log. Review alarm configuration to reduce unnecessary alarm generation and increase buffer size if supported.
Event ID: 1006: Recipe data error — recipe records could not be read or written correctly.
Verify recipe configuration in the project, check that the recipe data medium (internal memory or memory card) is accessible and not full.
Event ID: 1007: Screen object rendering error — one or more graphic objects on an HMI screen failed to display correctly.
Recompile the project and re-transfer to the device. Check for unsupported object types or missing image files referenced in the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens HMI panels are compatible with WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a wide range of Siemens SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels (KP, TP series), Comfort Panels, Multi Panels, and PC-based HMI systems. Compatibility depends on the specific edition of WinCC flexible installed.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 be integrated with STEP 7?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 can be integrated directly into the STEP 7 engineering environment, allowing shared tag databases and coordinated project management between PLC and HMI configurations.

What communication protocols does WinCC flexible 2008 support?

The software supports PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Industrial Ethernet communication protocols, enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers via appropriate drivers.

Is a separate runtime license required to run WinCC flexible projects on a panel?

SIMATIC HMI panels have the WinCC flexible Runtime pre-installed as part of their firmware. A separate PC runtime license is required only when running WinCC flexible Runtime on a standard PC or industrial PC.

What operating systems are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports Windows XP (SP2 or higher), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 as the engineering workstation operating system.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to install or crashes during installation

Check the Windows event log for installation errors. Verify that the operating system version is supported and that all prerequisites such as .NET Framework and STEP 7 (if integrated installation) are correctly installed.

Ensure the PC meets minimum system requirements, disable antivirus software during installation, and run the installer as Administrator. Reinstall any missing prerequisites before retrying.

Runtime license not recognized after software installation

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid WinCC flexible 2008 license is listed and assigned to the local computer.

Transfer the correct license to the engineering PC using ALM. If the license is stored on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected and recognized by the system.

Project cannot be compiled due to configuration errors

Review the output window in WinCC flexible for specific error messages referencing tags, screens, or connections. Identify missing or incorrectly configured objects.

Correct all flagged configuration errors, ensure all referenced tags have valid addresses, and verify that communication connections reference an existing and correctly configured controller.

HMI panel does not enter transfer mode when attempting project download

Check the panel's current operating state. The panel must be set to transfer mode either manually through the Start Center or via a configured transfer trigger in the running project.

Restart the panel and access the Start Center to manually select Transfer mode. Alternatively, configure an automatic transfer trigger in the WinCC flexible project settings.

Alarm messages are not displayed on the HMI at runtime

Verify that the alarm view or alarm window object is correctly placed on the relevant screen. Check that alarm tags are correctly connected to PLC bits and that alarm classes are properly configured.

Review alarm configuration in WinCC flexible, confirm PLC tag addresses are correct, and ensure the alarm view object is not hidden or overlapped by other screen objects.
