Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BG08-0AJ0 is a software license for SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2008, Siemens' engineering software platform for configuring and commissioning HMI (Human-Machine Interface) panels and visualization systems. This product belongs to the WinCC flexible product family, which serves as the central engineering environment for the SIMATIC HMI panel range. It enables the creation, management, and transfer of HMI projects to compatible Siemens operator panels.

WinCC flexible 2008 provides a comprehensive set of engineering tools including a graphical editor, tag management, alarm logging, recipe management, and trend displays. The software supports a wide range of communication drivers for connecting to SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs, as well as third-party controllers via standard protocols such as PROFIBUS DP and MPI. It includes simulation capabilities that allow project testing on a PC without requiring physical hardware, and supports multi-language project configuration for international deployments.

This software is used across a broad range of industrial sectors including manufacturing, process automation, food and beverage, automotive, and machine building. It is the standard engineering tool for configuring Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels such as the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. Its structured project management and reusable template libraries make it suitable for both small standalone machine HMI applications and larger distributed visualization systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000010: Communication error between WinCC flexible runtime and the connected PLC. The HMI cannot establish or maintain a connection to the controller.
Check physical communication cable connections, verify PLC address settings in the project, and confirm the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Event ID: 1000011: Tag read error. A configured tag cannot be read from the PLC, possibly due to an incorrect address or data type mismatch.
Verify the tag address and data type in the WinCC flexible project match the actual PLC data block or memory area. Correct and retransfer the project.
Event ID: 1000012: Tag write error. A write operation to a PLC tag failed, which may indicate an address conflict or the PLC memory area is write-protected.
Check that the target PLC address is writable and not protected. Verify the tag configuration in the engineering software and retransfer if necessary.
Event ID: 2000001: Project transfer error. The project could not be transferred to the target HMI panel, often due to a network or serial connection issue.
Check the transfer cable or network connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Ensure the panel is in transfer mode and the correct interface is selected in WinCC flexible.
Event ID: 3000001: License error. The software cannot find a valid license for WinCC flexible, preventing project compilation or runtime operation.
Verify that the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) shows a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008. Reinstall or transfer the license if it is missing or corrupted.
Event ID: 4000001: Runtime startup error on the HMI panel. The WinCC flexible runtime application failed to start after project download.
Check available memory on the HMI panel, ensure the transferred project is compatible with the panel type and firmware version, and retry the project transfer.
Event ID: 5000001: Inconsistent project configuration detected. One or more objects in the project contain configuration errors that prevent compilation.
Use the WinCC flexible consistency check function to identify and resolve all reported configuration errors before recompiling and transferring the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens 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. Compatibility depends on the specific edition of WinCC flexible 2008 installed.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within the TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible 2008 projects. However, some manual rework may be required after migration due to differences in functionality between the two platforms.

What communication protocols does WinCC flexible 2008 support?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports PROFIBUS DP, MPI, PROFINET, and Ethernet-based communication, as well as serial protocols for connecting to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and selected third-party controllers.

Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 uses Siemens' Automation License Manager (ALM) for license management. The license can be stored on a USB dongle or on the PC hard drive, depending on the license type supplied.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 simulate projects without a physical HMI panel?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes an integrated simulation function that allows engineers to test and validate HMI projects directly on the engineering PC without requiring a connected HMI panel.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to install or displays a license error immediately after installation

Check the Automation License Manager (ALM) to determine whether a valid WinCC flexible 2008 license is present. Verify that the license matches the installed edition.

Transfer or reinstall the license using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Ensure the license storage medium (USB dongle or hard disk) is correctly connected and recognized by the PC.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel

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

Switch the HMI panel to transfer mode via its Start Center, confirm the IP address or COM port settings match the project configuration, and retry the transfer. Replace the transfer cable if a hardware fault is suspected.

WinCC flexible 2008 reports communication errors at runtime on the HMI panel

Check the PLC connection settings in the project, including the PLC address, subnet, and communication interface. Verify that the PLC is powered on and in RUN mode.

Correct any mismatched address or interface settings in the WinCC flexible project, retransfer the project to the panel, and verify physical cabling between the HMI panel and the PLC.

Consistency check reports multiple errors and project will not compile

Open the consistency check results window in WinCC flexible to review all listed errors. Common causes include unconnected tags, missing screen objects, or invalid alarm configurations.

Resolve each reported error systematically using the consistency check output as a guide. Pay particular attention to tag address conflicts and missing mandatory properties on screen objects before recompiling.

WinCC flexible 2008 crashes or becomes unstable on the engineering PC

Check that the PC operating system is compatible (Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7) and that all required service packs and Siemens updates for WinCC flexible 2008 are installed.

Install the latest WinCC flexible 2008 service pack available from Siemens Industry Online Support. If instability persists, perform a clean reinstallation of the software and restore the license using the Automation License Manager.
