Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DG08-0AX3 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software portfolio. WinCC flexible 2008 is an engineering software package used for configuring and programming SIMATIC HMI operator panels and visualization systems. It serves as the central configuration tool for creating HMI projects destined for Siemens panels ranging from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems.

WinCC flexible 2008 provides a comprehensive engineering environment with a structured project editor, symbol libraries, and integrated tag management. The software supports a wide range of communication drivers enabling connectivity to SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs, as well as third-party controllers via standard protocols such as PROFIBUS DP and MPI. It includes features for alarm management, trend displays, recipe management, and report generation. The platform supports multi-language project configuration and offers migration tools for importing projects from earlier ProTool and WinCC flexible versions.

WinCC flexible 2008 is used extensively in manufacturing automation, process industries, machine building, and plant engineering where SIMATIC HMI panels are deployed. It is suitable for applications in automotive production lines, food and beverage processing, packaging machinery, and water treatment facilities. The software is the standard engineering tool for system integrators and OEMs building solutions around the SIMATIC HMI panel family.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000: Project file could not be opened or is corrupted
Verify the project file integrity, restore from backup, or use the migration tool to recover the project.
Event ID: 1010: Communication driver not found or not installed correctly
Reinstall the communication driver from the WinCC flexible installation media and verify PLC connection settings.
Event ID: 1020: License not found or license key missing
Insert the valid license key dongle or transfer the software license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM).
Event ID: 1030: Tag limit exceeded for current license edition
Reduce the number of configured tags to within the licensed limit or upgrade to a higher edition of WinCC flexible.
Event ID: 1040: Compilation error in HMI project
Review the error log in the output window, correct misconfigured tags, screens, or connections, and recompile the project.
Event ID: 1050: Transfer to HMI panel failed
Check the communication cable connection, verify the panel is in transfer mode, and confirm the correct interface settings in the project transfer dialog.
Event ID: 1060: Incompatible panel type selected for project
Verify the target HMI panel type in the project settings matches the physical device and adjust if necessary before recompiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI panels including Micro Panels, OP/TP 170, 177, 270, 277, 370, 377, MP 270, MP 370, and MP 377 series panels.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with Windows 10?

WinCC flexible 2008 was designed for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. It is not officially supported on Windows 10, and compatibility issues may arise on newer operating systems.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 communicate with S7-1200 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1200 PLCs via Ethernet/PROFINET using the appropriate communication driver.

Does this software support migration from older WinCC flexible versions?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes migration tools to import and convert projects created in ProTool and earlier WinCC flexible versions (2004, 2005, 2007).

Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2008?

The license for 6AV6371-1DG08-0AX3 is managed via the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM); depending on the license type, a USB dongle or a software-based license may be required.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to start after installation

Check the Automation License Manager to confirm the license is correctly installed and recognized. Verify that the operating system meets the minimum requirements.

Reinstall the license using the Automation License Manager, ensure the USB dongle is connected if required, and confirm the OS is Windows XP SP2 or later with all required prerequisites installed.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails repeatedly

Verify the communication cable type and connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Confirm the panel is set to transfer mode and the correct COM port or Ethernet address is configured in the transfer settings.

Replace the communication cable if faulty, set the correct interface parameters in the WinCC flexible transfer dialog, and ensure the panel firmware version is compatible with the project configuration.

Compilation errors appear when building the HMI project

Open the output window and review the listed errors. Common causes include undefined tags, missing PLC connections, or screen objects referencing non-existent variables.

Correct all flagged errors in the project editor, ensure all tags are properly linked to valid PLC addresses, and recompile the project.

Communication between HMI panel and PLC is lost at runtime

Check the physical network or cable connection between the panel and PLC. Verify the PLC address and communication parameters configured in the WinCC flexible project match the actual PLC settings.

Restore the physical connection, correct any mismatched IP addresses or PROFIBUS node numbers in the project, retransfer the corrected project to the panel, and restart the runtime.

License error displayed when opening WinCC flexible

The Automation License Manager cannot find a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008. This may occur if the USB dongle is missing or the software license has been moved or deleted.

Insert the correct USB license dongle or use the Automation License Manager to restore or transfer the license from a backup. Contact Siemens support if the license has been lost.
