Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DV28-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family used for configuring and commissioning HMI panels and visualization systems. This specific part number corresponds to the WinCC flexible 2008 Standard edition, which provides a comprehensive engineering environment for creating HMI projects across a wide range of Siemens operator panels. It is designed to work within the Siemens Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) ecosystem and supports a broad portfolio of Siemens HMI devices.

WinCC flexible 2008 Standard offers a project-oriented engineering environment with a library of pre-built faceplates, dynamic elements, and script functions based on Visual Basic. The software supports communication with Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces. It includes features such as alarm management, trend displays, recipe management, and user administration. The software runs on standard Windows operating systems and supports multi-language project configuration for international deployments.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, and machine building industries where Siemens HMI panels such as the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series are deployed. It is suitable for applications ranging from small standalone machine HMIs to distributed visualization systems in automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and water treatment plants. The Standard edition is particularly suited for mid-range applications requiring a robust feature set without the full scope of the Advanced or Compact editions.

Common Error Codes and Engineering Diagnostics

Compiler Error 1: Syntax error in VBS script within the HMI project
Review and correct the Visual Basic Script code in the indicated project object. Check for missing brackets, undefined variables, or unsupported functions.
Compiler Error 2: Inconsistent tag configuration detected during project compilation
Open the tag editor and verify that all tags have valid data types and correctly assigned PLC addresses. Remove or correct any duplicate or conflicting tag entries.
Transfer Error: Project transfer to HMI panel failed due to communication error
Verify the communication cable connection and interface settings. Ensure the HMI panel is in Transfer mode and that the correct COM port or network address is configured in the transfer settings.
Runtime License Error: WinCC flexible Runtime license not found or invalid on target HMI device
Check that a valid WinCC flexible Runtime license is installed on the target HMI panel. Use the Siemens Automation License Manager to verify and transfer the required license.
Consistency Check Warning: Project consistency check reports unconnected or missing PLC connections
Run the project consistency check from the Project menu and resolve all reported warnings. Verify PLC connection parameters including IP address, rack, and slot number.
Version Conflict Error: Project was created with a newer version of WinCC flexible than the installed engineering software
Update the WinCC flexible engineering software to the required version or higher. Alternatively, save the project in a compatible older format if supported.
Image Compilation Error: Graphical object or image file referenced in the project cannot be found
Locate the missing image files and re-import them into the project media library. Update all references to the missing objects within the affected screens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens HMI panels are compatible with WinCC flexible 2008 Standard?

WinCC flexible 2008 Standard supports the full range of Siemens operator panels including the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. Compatibility depends on the specific panel firmware version and the WinCC flexible Runtime version installed on the device.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 communicate with S7-1500 PLCs?

WinCC flexible 2008 does not natively support the S7-1500 PLC series. For S7-1500 integration, Siemens recommends using TIA Portal with WinCC (TIA Portal) instead.

What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports installation on Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit editions). It is not officially supported on Windows 8, Windows 10, or 64-bit operating systems without compatibility workarounds.

Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 uses the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) for license management. The license can be stored on a USB dongle or transferred to the engineering PC hard drive using the ALM tool.

Can projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible 2008 projects. However, not all objects and scripts are migrated automatically, and manual rework may be required after migration.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to install on Windows 7

Check the Windows edition and service pack level. Verify that the installation is being performed on a 32-bit Windows 7 system with SP1 and that all prerequisites such as .NET Framework and SIMATIC automation software components are present.

Install all required prerequisites listed in the WinCC flexible 2008 readme file. Ensure the installation is run with administrator privileges and that no conflicting versions of SIMATIC software are present on the system.

Project transfer to HMI panel is unsuccessful and times out

Verify the physical connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel using the appropriate transfer cable (USB, serial, or Ethernet). Check that the HMI panel is set to Transfer mode and that the correct interface is selected in the WinCC flexible transfer settings.

Reconfigure the transfer settings to match the connected interface. For Ethernet transfers, ensure both devices are on the same subnet. For USB or serial transfers, verify driver installation and COM port assignment in Device Manager.

Compiled project generates multiple consistency check errors

Open the Output window after compilation to review all reported errors and warnings. Identify whether errors relate to tag addressing, missing PLC connections, or invalid screen object configurations.

Resolve each reported error systematically starting with PLC connection settings. Verify all tag addresses match the PLC data block structure and remove any unused or broken references in the project screens.

WinCC flexible 2008 license is not recognized after PC reinstallation

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether the license is listed as available. Determine if the license was stored on the hard drive of the previous installation or on a USB dongle.

If the license was on the old hard drive and was not backed up, contact Siemens technical support for license recovery. If stored on a USB dongle, reconnect the dongle and verify it is recognized by the Automation License Manager.

Runtime simulation of the project crashes or displays incorrectly on the engineering PC

Check the WinCC flexible Runtime version installed on the engineering PC and compare it with the project target panel type. Verify that the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements for simulation.

Update WinCC flexible Runtime to the latest available service pack. Ensure the project target device type is correctly set in the project properties and that no unsupported objects or scripts are used in the simulation environment.
