Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1CF08-0AX0 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 panels and PC-based systems. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI product line and is used to create visualization projects for operator panels across the SIMATIC portfolio.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. The software provides tools for screen design, alarm management, recipe handling, trend displays, and user administration. It supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet interfaces, and includes a library of pre-built faceplates and objects to accelerate project development.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, machine building, and plant engineering applications. It is suitable for industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, where reliable HMI visualization and operator control are required. The software's scalability makes it appropriate for both small standalone machines and large distributed production systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: License not found or invalid license key detected during startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Automation License Manager. Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Event ID: 1000002: Project compilation error due to incompatible HMI device type selected
Check that the target HMI device configured in the project matches the actual hardware. Update the device type in project settings and recompile.
Event ID: 1000003: Communication connection to PLC cannot be established during simulation or transfer
Verify PLC connection settings including IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS address. Check physical cable connections and network configuration.
Event ID: 1000004: Project transfer to HMI panel failed
Ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode. Check the communication interface settings and confirm the correct transfer channel is selected in WinCC flexible.
Event ID: 1000005: Runtime error on HMI panel after project download
Check for version mismatch between the WinCC flexible engineering software and the runtime version installed on the HMI panel. Update the panel runtime if required.
Event ID: 1000006: Tag limit exceeded for selected HMI device
Review the number of configured tags in the project. Reduce the tag count to within the limit supported by the target HMI device or upgrade to a higher-tier device.
Event ID: 1000007: Screen object not supported by target device
Remove or replace screen objects that are not compatible with the selected HMI device type. Refer to the WinCC flexible compatibility matrix for supported objects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels, OP/TP operator panels, Multi Panels, Mobile Panels, and PC-based HMI systems. Compatibility depends on the specific edition of WinCC flexible 2008 installed.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal projects?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not natively compatible with TIA Portal. Projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 can be migrated to TIA Portal using the migration tool provided by Siemens, but the two environments are separate.

What PLCs can communicate with HMI projects created in WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet/PROFINET interfaces.

What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. It is not officially supported on Windows 10 or later operating systems.

Does WinCC flexible 2008 require a separate runtime license for HMI panels?

The engineering software license covers project creation and configuration. A separate WinCC flexible Runtime license is required for PC-based HMI systems, while dedicated SIMATIC panels include the runtime license as part of the panel hardware.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager to check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008 is present on the PC or connected USB dongle.

Transfer or reinstall the correct license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the license matches the installed version and edition of WinCC flexible 2008.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel

Verify that the HMI panel is set to transfer mode and that the communication channel settings in WinCC flexible match the physical connection (USB, Ethernet, or MPI/PROFIBUS).

Set the panel to transfer mode via its start center, confirm the correct interface is selected in the transfer settings, and retry the download. Check firewall settings if using Ethernet transfer.

Simulation of the HMI project fails or crashes

Check the Windows Event Viewer for application errors related to WinCC flexible runtime simulation. Verify that all required software components and service packs are installed.

Install the latest service pack for WinCC flexible 2008 from Siemens support. Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements and that no conflicting software is running.

Tags show no values or communication errors at runtime on the HMI panel

Check the configured PLC connection parameters in the project, including the PLC IP address or bus address, and verify the physical network or bus connection between the panel and PLC.

Correct the connection parameters in WinCC flexible, recompile and retransfer the project. Test the physical network connection and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.

Screen objects or graphics appear incorrectly after project migration from an older WinCC flexible version

Review the migration log generated during the project conversion for warnings about unsupported objects or changed properties.

Manually update or replace any flagged screen objects that are not fully supported in WinCC flexible 2008. Recheck display resolutions and object positions after migration.
