Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DG08-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible SCADA and HMI engineering software family. This product provides the engineering environment used to configure, program, and commission Siemens HMI panels across the SIMATIC HMI portfolio. It is designed for use on standard engineering PCs running compatible Windows operating systems.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering framework supporting the full range of Siemens HMI devices, from Micro Panels and Mobile Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. The software includes a library of pre-built function blocks, faceplates, and symbol libraries to accelerate project development. It supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces. The platform also supports multi-language project management, allowing HMI screens to be configured in multiple languages simultaneously.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, and machine building applications where Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels are deployed. It is particularly suited for OEMs and system integrators who develop standardized machine HMI solutions across multiple panel types. The software enables centralized project management, simulation of HMI projects on the engineering PC, and seamless integration with STEP 7 for combined PLC and HMI engineering workflows.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Compiler Error 1: Project compilation failed due to invalid tag configuration or missing PLC connection assignment.
Review all tag definitions and ensure each tag is assigned to a valid PLC connection. Recompile the project after corrections.
Compiler Error 2: Screen object references a tag that does not exist in the tag database.
Open the tag editor and verify that all tags referenced by screen objects are correctly defined. Remove or reassign orphaned references.
Transfer Error: Project transfer to HMI panel failed, typically due to incorrect transfer channel settings or network misconfiguration.
Verify the transfer channel settings match the physical connection (MPI address, PROFIBUS address, or IP address). Ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode before initiating download.
License Error: Software reports missing or invalid license, preventing project editing or compilation.
Run the Automation License Manager to verify the WinCC flexible license is correctly installed and not expired. Reinstall the license key if necessary.
Simulation Error: HMI project simulation fails to start on the engineering PC.
Ensure the WinCC flexible Runtime simulation component is installed. Check that no firewall or antivirus software is blocking the simulation process.
Consistency Check Warning: Consistency check detects mismatched data types between PLC tags and HMI tags.
Open the tag editor and align the data types of HMI tags with the corresponding PLC variable types. Re-run the consistency check after corrections.
Connection Timeout: Online connection to the HMI panel is lost or cannot be established during transfer or diagnostics.
Check physical cable connections and network settings. Verify the HMI panel IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address matches the project configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels (TP 170 Micro), Mobile Panels, Operator Panels (OP 77B, OP 177B), Multi Panels (MP 277, MP 377), and Panel PCs.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not part of the TIA Portal framework. Siemens provides a migration tool to convert WinCC flexible projects to WinCC in TIA Portal, but the two engineering environments are separate.

Which PLC families can be connected to HMI projects created in WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs, as well as third-party controllers via OPC or other supported drivers.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 simulate HMI projects without a physical panel?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes a built-in simulation function that allows HMI projects to be tested and simulated directly on the engineering PC without requiring a physical HMI panel.

What operating systems are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, subject to the specific service pack requirements defined in the product release notes.

Troubleshooting

Project transfer to HMI panel fails repeatedly

Check the transfer channel configuration in WinCC flexible under Transfer Settings. Verify the physical connection type (USB, Ethernet, MPI) and confirm the HMI panel is set to transfer mode.

Correct the IP address, MPI node address, or COM port settings to match the actual hardware configuration. Restart the HMI panel in transfer mode and retry the download.

WinCC flexible 2008 reports a license error on startup

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC flexible 2008 license is present and assigned to the local machine.

If the license is missing or on a different machine, transfer the license using the Automation License Manager. If the license dongle is used, ensure it is connected to the USB port before launching the software.

Compilation errors appear for tags with no visible configuration issues

Run the project consistency check under the Tools menu to identify all tag and screen object conflicts. Look for data type mismatches or deleted tags still referenced by screen objects.

Correct all data type mismatches in the tag editor and remove or reassign any orphaned tag references in screen objects. Recompile the project after all issues are resolved.

HMI simulation crashes or does not start

Verify that the WinCC flexible Runtime simulation component was selected during software installation. Check Windows Event Viewer for application errors related to the simulation executable.

Reinstall WinCC flexible 2008 and ensure the simulation component is included in the installation. Temporarily disable antivirus software to rule out interference with the simulation process.

Existing WinCC flexible project cannot be opened after software reinstallation

Check the WinCC flexible version used to create the project. Projects created with a newer service pack or version may not open in an older installation.

Install the correct WinCC flexible 2008 service pack that matches the project version. Use the project version information displayed in the error dialog to identify the required software update.
