Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DV08-0BX3 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 including the OP, TP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. It is designed to run on standard engineering PCs and integrates tightly with the Siemens SIMATIC automation ecosystem.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a comprehensive set of tools for creating HMI visualizations, including tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and script-based automation using VBScript. The software supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces. It includes a simulation function that allows offline testing of HMI projects without physical hardware, and supports multi-language project engineering for international deployments.

This software is used across a wide range of industrial sectors including manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, water treatment, and process automation. It is the standard engineering tool for configuring Siemens operator panels deployed on machine-level HMI applications. The 2008 edition represents a mature release of the WinCC flexible platform, widely used for maintaining and extending existing SIMATIC HMI installations.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1920: Storage device not ready or inaccessible during project transfer
Verify the target HMI device is powered on and connected. Check communication cable and interface settings in the project transfer dialog.
Error 1925: Connection to target device could not be established during download
Confirm the correct communication interface is selected. Check IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address settings and ensure no firewall is blocking the connection.
Error 2557: License for WinCC flexible not found or invalid
Run the Automation License Manager to verify the license is correctly installed and activated. Re-install or transfer the license if necessary.
Error 110: Project compilation error due to inconsistent tag or screen configuration
Review the validation output in the compiler log. Correct any missing tag references, duplicate names, or unsupported object configurations before recompiling.
Error 4: Runtime version mismatch between engineering project and target HMI panel
Ensure the WinCC flexible runtime version installed on the HMI panel matches the version used in the engineering software. Update the panel runtime if required.
Transfer Error: Incompatible Device: Project was configured for a different HMI device type than the connected panel
Open the project properties and verify the selected HMI device matches the physical target panel. Migrate the project to the correct device type if needed.
Simulation Abort: Offline simulation terminated unexpectedly due to script error or resource conflict
Check VBScript code for runtime errors. Reduce the number of active simulated tags and ensure the engineering PC meets minimum system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including the OP 77, TP 177, MP 277, MP 377, Mobile Panel 177, and other panels from the OP, TP, and MP series. It does not support the newer Comfort Panel series, which requires WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 or TIA Portal.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

No, WinCC flexible 2008 does not natively support the S7-1500 PLC series. S7-1500 integration requires the TIA Portal engineering framework with WinCC (TIA Portal).

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. Some manual rework may be required depending on the complexity of the project and the target device.

What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit editions). It is not officially supported on Windows 10 or later without compatibility workarounds.

Does this license include WinCC flexible Runtime?

The 6AV6371-1DV08-0BX3 is an engineering software license and does not include a PC-based WinCC flexible Runtime license. Runtime licenses for PC-based visualization are ordered separately.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to install or license is not recognized after installation

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether the license key is listed and shows a valid status. Verify the license dongle or software license is present and not assigned to another machine.

Transfer or re-activate the license using the Automation License Manager. If using a hardware dongle, ensure it is connected before launching the software. Reinstall the license if it shows as defective.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel and transfer dialog shows a connection error

Check the physical connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Verify the correct transfer interface (USB, Ethernet, or MPI/PROFIBUS) is selected in the transfer settings and that the panel is in transfer mode.

Switch the HMI panel to transfer mode manually via the panel's start center. Confirm IP addresses or bus addresses match the project settings. Replace the communication cable if hardware faults are suspected.

Compilation errors appear when building the HMI project

Review the output window for specific error messages referencing tags, screens, or scripts. Common causes include missing PLC tag connections, duplicate object names, or use of functions not supported by the target device.

Correct all flagged errors in the compiler output. Ensure all referenced PLC tags exist and are correctly typed. Remove or replace unsupported objects for the configured target HMI device.

WinCC flexible 2008 crashes or becomes unstable on the engineering PC

Check whether the PC meets the minimum system requirements for WinCC flexible 2008. Conflicts with other installed Siemens software versions or incompatible Windows updates can cause instability.

Ensure the correct service pack for WinCC flexible 2008 is installed. Uninstall conflicting software versions and apply all recommended Siemens patches. Running the software on a dedicated engineering PC with a supported OS reduces instability.

Offline simulation does not reflect PLC logic correctly

The integrated simulation only simulates the HMI project locally and does not connect to a real or virtual PLC. Tag values must be driven manually or via the simulation table during offline testing.

Use the simulation tag table to manually set tag values and verify screen behavior. For full system testing including PLC logic, connect to a physical or software-based S7 PLC using the appropriate communication interface.
