Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DQ10-0EX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides a comprehensive SCADA and HMI configuration environment used to develop visualization projects for Siemens operator panels and HMI devices. 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 panels, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. The software includes integrated tag management, alarm logging, recipe management, trend displays, and script-based automation using VBScript. It supports communication with Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces, and also supports third-party controllers through standardized drivers.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process engineering, and machine building applications where centralized HMI project development is required. It is suitable for OEMs and system integrators developing projects across multiple Siemens HMI platforms from a single engineering environment. Industries such as automotive, food and beverage, chemical processing, and packaging commonly deploy this software for machine-level visualization and operator interface design.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1920: License not found or license server unreachable during software startup.
Verify that the software license (dongle or soft license) is correctly installed and recognized by the system. Check Automation License Manager for license status.
Error 2557: Project compilation error due to inconsistent tag configuration or missing device driver.
Review the project tag table for missing or incorrectly assigned tags. Ensure the correct communication driver is installed and assigned to the HMI device.
Error 3000: Transfer connection to HMI device failed during project download.
Check the physical connection (USB, Ethernet, or MPI/PROFIBUS cable) between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Verify the correct transfer channel is configured in the HMI device settings.
Error 1722: Runtime component registration failure during installation.
Re-run the installation as administrator. Ensure all prerequisites (Microsoft .NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributables) are installed and compatible with the operating system.
Compiler Warning: Tag Limit Exceeded: The number of configured tags exceeds the licensed or device-supported tag limit.
Reduce the number of tags in the project or upgrade to a higher WinCC flexible edition that supports a greater tag count.
Communication Error: No Connection to PLC: The HMI runtime cannot establish communication with the configured PLC.
Verify PLC address settings, communication cable integrity, and network configuration. Check that the PLC is powered and in RUN mode. Confirm matching baud rate and station address settings.
Error: Incompatible Project Version: The project file was created with a newer or incompatible version of WinCC flexible and cannot be opened.
Upgrade WinCC flexible to the required version or use the migration tool to convert the project to a compatible format.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HMI devices are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of Siemens HMI panels including Micro Panels, Mobile Panels, Operator Panels (OP), Touch Panels (TP), and Multi Panels (MP), as well as PC-based HMI systems running WinCC flexible Runtime.

Which PLCs can be configured for communication in WinCC flexible 2008?

The software supports Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet. Third-party controllers are also supported through standardized communication drivers.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with Windows 10?

WinCC flexible 2008 was designed for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It is not officially supported on Windows 10; for Windows 10 compatibility, Siemens recommends migrating to TIA Portal with WinCC.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible 2008 projects, though some manual rework may be required depending on the complexity of the project.

What is the Automation License Manager and is it required?

The Automation License Manager is a Siemens utility that manages software licenses for products including WinCC flexible. It must be installed and the valid license must be registered for WinCC flexible 2008 to operate without restrictions.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Automation License Manager and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008 is present and active. Verify the license dongle is connected if a hardware key is used.

Install the correct license using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is recognized by the PC. Transfer the license from the original medium if it has not yet been activated.

Project download to HMI panel fails with a connection error

Check the transfer settings on both the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Verify the correct interface (USB, Ethernet, MPI) is selected and that the cable is properly connected.

Set the HMI panel to transfer mode manually if it does not switch automatically. Confirm IP address or MPI station address matches the settings in WinCC flexible. Replace the cable if a physical fault is suspected.

Compilation errors appear when building the HMI project

Review the output window in WinCC flexible for specific error messages. Common causes include unconnected tags, missing screen objects, or unsupported functions for the target HMI device type.

Correct all flagged errors in the tag table and screen editor. Ensure the configured HMI device type matches the physical panel being used. Remove or replace any functions not supported by the selected device.

Runtime communication between HMI panel and PLC is lost intermittently

Check the physical network or fieldbus cable for damage or loose connectors. Verify PLC CPU is in RUN mode and that no address conflicts exist on the network.

Replace damaged cables and secure all connectors. Confirm unique station addresses for all devices on the MPI or PROFIBUS network. Adjust communication timeout parameters in the HMI connection settings if the network has high latency.

WinCC flexible 2008 installation fails or rolls back

Check the Windows Event Viewer for installation error codes. Confirm that the PC meets minimum hardware requirements and that the operating system is a supported version (Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7).

Run the installer as administrator and disable antivirus software during installation. Install all required prerequisites including the correct .NET Framework version. Ensure no previous conflicting WinCC flexible installation remains on the system.
