Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1HV08-0AX0 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 product line and is used to create visualization projects for operator panels across the SIMATIC portfolio.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based runtime systems. The software includes tools for screen design, alarm management, recipe management, trend displays, and data logging. It supports communication via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Ethernet interfaces, and is compatible with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 controllers. The package includes integrated simulation functionality allowing project testing without physical hardware.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine building applications across industries such as automotive, food and beverage, chemical processing, and packaging. It is particularly suited for projects requiring centralized HMI engineering across multiple panel types within a single software environment. The software's scalability makes it applicable to both small standalone machine panels and larger distributed visualization systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: Communication error between engineering PC and HMI device during download
Check the communication cable and interface settings. Verify the correct communication driver is selected and the IP address or MPI address is correctly configured.
Event ID: 1000002: Project compilation error due to inconsistent tag configuration
Open the project in WinCC flexible, navigate to the compiler output window, and resolve all flagged tag or screen configuration inconsistencies before recompiling.
Event ID: 1000003: License not found or license key invalid
Verify the USB license key (dongle) is correctly inserted or the software license is properly activated via the Automation License Manager. Reinstall the license if necessary.
Event ID: 1000004: HMI device type mismatch during project transfer
Confirm the target HMI device type selected in the project settings matches the physical device. Adjust the device type in project properties and recompile before transferring.
Event ID: 1000005: Runtime error on HMI panel — project file corrupted or incompatible
Re-transfer the compiled project from the engineering station to the HMI device. If the issue persists, delete the existing project from the device and perform a clean transfer.
Event ID: 1000006: Tag connection failure — no data exchange between HMI and PLC
Check the PLC communication settings, verify the PLC is in RUN mode, and confirm that the tag addresses in the HMI project match the actual PLC data block or memory addresses.
Event ID: 1000007: Insufficient memory on target HMI device for project download
Reduce the project size by optimizing graphics, removing unused tags or screens, or compressing image resources. Consider upgrading to an HMI device with greater memory capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI devices are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels (TP 170 Micro, OP 73 Micro), Mobile Panels, Operator Panels (OP 77, TP 177), Multi Panels (MP 277, MP 377), and PC-based runtime systems running WinCC flexible Runtime.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal projects?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not natively compatible with TIA Portal. Projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 can be migrated to TIA Portal using the integrated migration tool, but the two environments are separate engineering platforms.

What communication protocols does WinCC flexible 2008 support?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, MPI, and Industrial Ethernet communication protocols, enabling connectivity with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs as well as third-party controllers via OPC.

Does WinCC flexible 2008 include a simulation function?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes an integrated simulator that allows engineers to test and validate HMI projects on the engineering PC without requiring a physical HMI panel or PLC connection.

What operating systems are supported for running WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP (SP2 or higher), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, depending on the specific service pack version of the software.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to install or installation aborts partway through

Check the Windows event log for installation errors. Verify that the PC meets the minimum hardware and OS requirements and that no conflicting Siemens software versions are already installed.

Uninstall any previous versions of WinCC flexible using the Siemens Automation License Manager and the Windows Programs and Features panel. Ensure .NET Framework and other prerequisites are installed, then retry the installation as Administrator.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel

Verify the communication interface settings in WinCC flexible match the physical connection (Ethernet IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address). Check that the HMI panel is in Transfer mode.

Set the HMI panel to Transfer mode via its Start Center or Control Panel. Confirm the correct interface is selected in WinCC flexible under Transfer Settings, and ensure firewall or antivirus software is not blocking the connection.

License error appears when launching WinCC flexible 2008

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager to check whether a valid license is detected. Determine if the license is stored on a USB dongle or a local drive.

Reinsert the USB license dongle and restart the Automation License Manager. If the license is software-based, use the License Manager to repair or reactivate it. Contact Siemens support if the license key is corrupted.

Compiled project generates errors referencing undefined tags

Review the compiler output log in WinCC flexible for specific tag names and screen references that are flagged as undefined or unconnected.

Navigate to the Tag Editor and verify all referenced tags have valid PLC addresses assigned. Remove or correct any tags that reference deleted or renamed PLC variables, then recompile the project.

HMI panel displays 'Connection to PLC failed' at runtime

Check the physical network or PROFIBUS cable connections between the HMI panel and the PLC. Verify the PLC is powered and in RUN mode, and confirm the communication parameters match on both devices.

Correct any mismatched IP addresses, MPI node addresses, or baud rate settings. Replace faulty cables if signal integrity is poor. Ensure the correct communication driver is loaded on the HMI panel and that the PLC program is running.
