Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-1HV18-0AX0 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 develop visualization projects for Siemens operator panels and HMI devices. It is designed for use on standard engineering PCs running compatible Windows operating systems.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering framework supporting the full range of Siemens HMI hardware, from Micro Panels and Mobile Panels to multi-panel and PC-based systems. The software includes integrated tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and script-based automation using VBScript. It supports communication with Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet interfaces, and includes simulation tools for offline project testing without physical hardware.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, machine building, and plant engineering environments. It is particularly suited for OEMs and system integrators who need to develop and maintain HMI projects across a broad range of Siemens panel hardware. The software enables centralized project management and supports multi-language projects for international deployments.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Error 1920: License not found or license server unreachable during software startup
Verify that the software license (dongle or software key) is correctly installed and recognized by the system. Check Automation License Manager for valid license entries.
Error 1722: Installation error indicating a problem with the Windows Installer package during setup
Ensure the installation is run with administrator privileges. Disable antivirus software temporarily and retry installation. Check Windows event log for additional details.
Compiler Error: Project compilation fails due to inconsistent tag references or unsupported object configurations
Review the compiler output log, resolve all tag naming conflicts, and ensure all referenced HMI device types are supported by the installed software version.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the engineering PC and the target HMI panel during download
Check the physical connection (MPI cable, Ethernet cable, or USB adapter). Verify the correct communication interface and baud rate are configured in the project transfer settings.
Transfer Error: Project transfer to the HMI panel fails or is interrupted
Ensure the target panel is in transfer mode. Verify that the project is compiled without errors before initiating transfer. Check that the correct panel type and firmware version are selected in the project settings.
Simulation Abort: Offline simulation terminates unexpectedly during project testing
Check for unresolved script errors in VBScript routines. Ensure all required runtime components are installed. Restart the simulation and monitor the output window for specific error messages.
License Downgrade Warning: Installed license does not cover all features used in the current project
Review the project for features that require a higher license tier (e.g., Advanced or Runtime). Upgrade the license via Siemens Automation License Manager or remove unsupported features from the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of Siemens HMI hardware including Micro Panels, Mobile Panels, OP and TP series operator panels, Multi Panels, and PC-based HMI systems running WinCC flexible Runtime.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal projects?

No, WinCC flexible 2008 is not directly compatible with TIA Portal. Projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 can be migrated to TIA Portal using the integrated migration tool available in TIA Portal, but the two environments are separate.

What PLCs can communicate with HMI projects developed in WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with Siemens S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces.

Does WinCC flexible 2008 include an offline simulation tool?

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

What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit editions). It is not supported on Windows 10 or later operating systems without compatibility workarounds.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC flexible 2008 license is listed and assigned to the local computer.

If no license is found, reinstall the license from the original license media or transfer a valid license using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the USB dongle (if applicable) is connected and recognized by Windows.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails with a connection timeout

Verify the physical communication cable between the PC and the HMI panel. Check the transfer settings in WinCC flexible for the correct interface type (MPI, Ethernet, or USB) and matching baud rate or IP address.

Correct the interface settings in the project transfer dialog, ensure the HMI panel is set to transfer mode, and retry the download. Replace the communication cable if a hardware fault is suspected.

Compilation errors appear when building the HMI project

Review the compiler output window for specific error messages referencing tags, screens, or scripts. Identify any broken tag links or unsupported object types.

Resolve all tag naming conflicts, remove or correct references to undefined tags, and fix any VBScript syntax errors. Recompile the project after each correction to confirm resolution.

WinCC flexible 2008 installation fails partway through on Windows 7

Check the Windows event log and the installation log file for specific error codes. Confirm that the user account has full administrator privileges and that no conflicting Siemens software versions are installed.

Uninstall any conflicting Siemens software, disable antivirus and User Account Control (UAC) temporarily, and rerun the installer as administrator. Ensure all prerequisite components such as .NET Framework and SQL Server are installed correctly.

Offline simulation crashes or behaves unexpectedly

Check the project for unhandled VBScript errors or cyclic tag update conflicts. Review the simulation output log for runtime exceptions.

Correct any script logic errors, reduce the tag update cycle if system resources are limited, and ensure all WinCC flexible 2008 service packs and patches are applied to the engineering PC.
