Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1HA08-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the runtime and configuration environment for developing and operating HMI (Human-Machine Interface) applications on Siemens panels and PC-based systems. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI software portfolio and is used to create visualization projects for operator panels across the SIMATIC HMI range.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a comprehensive set of engineering tools for designing HMI screens, configuring tags, alarms, trends, and recipes. 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 library of pre-built faceplates, supports multi-language project configuration, and provides migration tools for converting older ProTool and WinCC flexible projects. The software runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine building applications where SIMATIC HMI panels such as the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series are deployed. It is suitable for industries including automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and general machine manufacturing. The software enables engineers to develop scalable HMI solutions ranging from small operator panels to large multi-panel installations with centralized project management.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1000: License not found or invalid license key detected during startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Reinstall the license if necessary.
Error 1001: License has expired or is a trial license that has reached its time limit
Obtain and install a valid full license via the Automation License Manager. Contact Siemens for license renewal.
Error 2000: Communication error between WinCC flexible engineering station and the target HMI panel
Check the physical connection cable and interface settings. Verify the correct communication driver and IP address or MPI address are configured.
Error 3000: Project compilation error due to inconsistent or missing tag configuration
Open the project in the engineering environment, review the validation log, and correct all reported tag or connection errors before recompiling.
Error 4000: Transfer to HMI panel failed — panel not reachable or in wrong operating mode
Ensure the HMI panel is in Transfer mode. Verify network or serial connection settings match the project configuration.
Error 5000: Runtime startup failure on target panel due to incompatible runtime version
Check that the WinCC flexible Runtime version installed on the HMI panel matches the version used in the engineering project. Update the panel runtime if necessary.
Error 6000: Database error during project save or archive operation
Ensure sufficient disk space is available on the engineering PC. Close and reopen the project, or restore from a recent backup archive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including the TP (Touch Panel), OP (Operator Panel), MP (Multi Panel), and Mobile Panel series. It also supports PC-based runtime installations on standard industrial PCs.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 communicate with S7-1200 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1200 PLCs via Industrial Ethernet using the TCP/IP protocol. Appropriate communication drivers must be configured within the project.

Is it possible to migrate older ProTool projects to WinCC flexible 2008?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes a migration tool that allows conversion of projects created in ProTool and earlier versions of WinCC flexible. Some manual adjustments may be required after migration depending on the original project complexity.

What operating systems are compatible with WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP (SP2 or higher), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit editions). It is not officially supported on Windows 8 or Windows 10.

Does 6AV6371-1HA08-0AX0 include the WinCC flexible Runtime for PC?

The 6AV6371-1HA08-0AX0 is a specific variant of the WinCC flexible 2008 package; the exact scope of supply (engineering only or including PC runtime) should be confirmed against the Siemens order documentation, as different variants cover different license scopes.

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.

Transfer a valid license to the engineering PC using the ALM tool. If the license is stored on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected before launching the software.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails with a connection timeout

Check the physical cable connection between the PC and the HMI panel. Verify the communication interface settings (IP address, MPI address, baud rate) in both the project and the panel's system settings.

Correct any mismatched interface parameters, ensure the panel is set to Transfer mode, and retry the download. Replace the communication cable if hardware faults are suspected.

Compiled project generates multiple validation errors and will not compile

Review the compiler output log in the WinCC flexible engineering environment. Identify missing tag connections, undefined PLC variables, or screen objects referencing deleted tags.

Correct all flagged errors in the tag table and screen configuration. Ensure all PLC connections are properly defined and that referenced variables exist in the connected PLC data blocks.

WinCC flexible 2008 installation fails or rolls back on Windows 7

Check the Windows Event Viewer for installation error codes. Verify that all prerequisites including Microsoft .NET Framework and Visual C++ redistributables are installed.

Install all required prerequisites listed in the WinCC flexible 2008 readme file before running the setup. Ensure the user account has local administrator rights during installation.

Trend displays or alarm logs are not updating at runtime on the HMI panel

Check the tag connections associated with the trend and alarm objects. Verify that the PLC communication is active and that the relevant data areas are being polled correctly.

Confirm that the acquisition cycle for the relevant tags is set appropriately in the tag configuration. Re-establish the PLC connection if communication has dropped, and check for any active fault codes on the HMI panel.
