Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1DV38-0AX0 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 create, manage, and deploy visualization projects on Siemens HMI panels and PC-based systems. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI product line and is designed for use within the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) ecosystem.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering platform supporting a wide range of Siemens HMI hardware, from Micro Panels and Mobile Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based runtime systems. The software includes tools for screen design, alarm management, recipe handling, trend displays, and user administration. It supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, and Ethernet interfaces. The 2008 edition introduced enhanced usability features, improved project migration tools, and expanded device support compared to earlier versions.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process industries, machine building, and plant engineering. It is suitable for applications requiring centralized HMI project management across multiple panel types and communication networks. Machine builders and system integrators rely on this software to develop standardized visualization solutions that can be deployed across diverse production environments.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: Runtime connection to PLC lost. Communication between the HMI panel and the configured PLC has been interrupted.
Check physical network or bus connections, verify PLC is powered and running, confirm communication parameters (IP address, MPI address, baud rate) match the project configuration.
Event ID: 1000003: Tag read error. A configured tag could not be read from the PLC within the defined timeout period.
Verify the tag address exists in the PLC program, check communication link integrity, and confirm the PLC data block or memory area is accessible.
Event ID: 1000004: Tag write error. A write operation to a PLC tag failed.
Check that the target PLC address is not write-protected, confirm the PLC is in RUN mode, and verify the communication connection is active.
Event ID: 1000010: License not found. The WinCC flexible runtime or engineering license could not be validated on the system.
Verify the license dongle (USB or software license) is correctly installed. Use the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) to check license status and transfer or repair the license if necessary.
Event ID: 1000020: Project download failed. Transfer of the HMI project to the target panel was unsuccessful.
Check the transfer cable or network connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel, ensure the panel is in transfer mode, and verify the correct communication channel is selected in the project transfer settings.
Event ID: 1000030: Alarm buffer overflow. The number of pending alarms has exceeded the configured alarm buffer capacity.
Acknowledge and clear existing alarms, review alarm configuration to reduce unnecessary alarm triggers, and consider increasing the alarm buffer size in the project settings.
Event ID: 1000050: Recipe data error. A recipe record could not be read from or written to the configured storage location.
Check the recipe storage path and ensure the target storage medium (panel memory or memory card) has sufficient free space and is not write-protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a broad range of Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels including Micro Panels (KTP series), Mobile Panels, Operator Panels (OP series), Touch Panels (TP series), and Multi Panels (MP series), as well as PC-based runtime systems.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not natively part of TIA Portal, but Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal to convert WinCC flexible projects to WinCC (TIA Portal) format for use with newer hardware generations.

What PLCs can be connected using 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 DA interfaces.

What operating systems are supported for the engineering software installation?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports installation on Windows XP (SP2 or later), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, depending on the specific service pack of the software.

Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2008?

A valid license managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) is required. The license can be stored on a USB dongle or as a software-based license on the engineering PC.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008 is present and not expired or damaged.

Reconnect the USB license dongle if used, or use ALM to repair or transfer the software license. If the license is corrupted, contact Siemens support for license recovery.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel

Verify the panel is set to transfer mode (accessible via the panel's Start Center or Control Panel). Check the selected transfer channel (USB, Ethernet, or MPI) and confirm the connection settings match between the engineering PC and the panel.

Correct the transfer channel settings in WinCC flexible under Transfer > Transfer Settings, ensure the panel IP address or MPI address matches, and retry the transfer. Replace the transfer cable if a hardware fault is suspected.

PLC tags show no value or display '#####' on the HMI panel at runtime

This indicates a communication failure or tag address mismatch. Check the runtime system log for connection error events and verify the PLC is online and reachable from the HMI panel.

Confirm the PLC communication parameters in the WinCC flexible project match the actual PLC configuration. Check network cables, switch ports, or PROFIBUS termination resistors. Reload the project to the panel after correcting any address mismatches.

Alarms are not displayed on the HMI panel despite fault conditions in the PLC

Check the alarm configuration in the WinCC flexible project to confirm the correct bit tags are assigned to the alarm triggers. Verify the PLC program is setting the expected alarm bits.

Review and correct the alarm tag assignments in the project. Ensure the alarm window or alarm view object is correctly placed on the relevant HMI screen and that alarm classes are properly configured.

WinCC flexible 2008 crashes or freezes during project editing on the engineering PC

Check the engineering PC for compatibility issues, insufficient RAM, or conflicts with other installed software. Review the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs related to WinCC flexible.

Ensure the PC meets the minimum system requirements for WinCC flexible 2008, apply the latest service packs for both the software and Windows OS, and disable conflicting background applications or antivirus software that may interfere with the engineering environment.
