Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6371-2BM08-0AJ0 is a software license for SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2008, Siemens' engineering software platform for configuring and commissioning HMI (Human-Machine Interface) panels within the SIMATIC automation environment. This product belongs to the WinCC flexible product family, which serves as the central engineering tool for programming operator panels ranging from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based HMI systems. The software enables engineers to create visualization projects, configure screens, alarms, tags, and communication connections for a wide range of Siemens HMI hardware.

WinCC flexible 2008 provides a project-oriented engineering environment with a library of pre-built faceplates, dynamic elements, and screen objects to accelerate HMI development. 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 features such as multi-language project support, integrated alarm management, trend displays, recipe management, and user administration. The platform supports simulation of HMI projects on a PC prior to commissioning, reducing on-site setup time. Version 2008 introduced improved usability, extended panel support, and enhanced integration with STEP 7 engineering software.

WinCC flexible 2008 is used across a broad range of industries including manufacturing, automotive, food and beverage, water treatment, and process automation. It is the standard engineering tool for configuring Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels such as the TP177, OP177, MP277, MP377, and similar series. The software is particularly suited for machine builders and system integrators who require a scalable, consistent engineering environment across multiple HMI hardware platforms within the Siemens SIMATIC ecosystem.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000: Runtime connection to PLC lost. The HMI panel cannot establish or maintain communication with the configured PLC.
Check physical network or bus connections, verify PLC address settings in the project, and confirm PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Event ID: 1003: 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.
Event ID: 1004: Tag write error. A write operation to a PLC tag failed, which may indicate an address conflict or PLC write protection.
Check that the target PLC memory area is writable and that the tag address is correctly configured in the project.
Event ID: 2010: License not found or invalid. The software cannot locate a valid license for the installed WinCC flexible version.
Verify the license is correctly installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager. Transfer or repair the license as required.
Event ID: 3010: Project compilation error. Errors were detected during project compilation preventing a valid runtime file from being generated.
Review the compiler output log, correct all flagged configuration errors in screens, tags, or connections, and recompile the project.
Event ID: 4000: Transfer to HMI panel failed. The project could not be successfully transferred to the target HMI device.
Check the transfer channel settings (Ethernet, USB, or MPI), ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode, and verify firewall or antivirus software is not blocking the transfer.
Event ID: 5001: Simulation runtime error. An error occurred during PC-based simulation of the HMI project.
Check for unresolved tag references or unsupported functions in the project. Update WinCC flexible to the latest service pack and retry simulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008 (6AV6371-2BM08-0AJ0)?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a wide range of Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels including Micro Panels, TP/OP 177 series, MP 277, MP 377, and other Multi Panel variants. It does not support the newer Comfort Panels, which require TIA Portal WinCC.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with SIMATIC S7-1500 PLCs?

WinCC flexible 2008 does not natively support the S7-1500 PLC family. S7-1500 integration requires TIA Portal with WinCC Basic or higher.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible projects, though some manual rework may be required depending on the complexity of the project and the target HMI hardware.

What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports installation on Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit). It is not officially supported on Windows 10 or later.

Does this software include a runtime license for PC-based HMI?

The 6AV6371-2BM08-0AJ0 is an engineering software license for project configuration only. A separate WinCC flexible Runtime license is required to run HMI projects on a PC-based system.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to install or throws an error during installation

Check Windows version compatibility and whether all required Microsoft prerequisites such as .NET Framework and MSXML are installed. Review the installation log file for specific error codes.

Install all required prerequisites listed in the WinCC flexible 2008 readme file, disable antivirus software during installation, and ensure the user account has full administrator rights.

License error appears after installation and software runs only in demo mode

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

Transfer the correct license from the original license medium using the Automation License Manager. If the license is lost due to a hard drive failure, contact Siemens for license recovery procedures.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails repeatedly

Verify the transfer channel configuration in the project settings matches the physical connection method (Ethernet, USB, or MPI/PROFIBUS). Check that the HMI panel is set to transfer mode and that the IP address or bus address is correct.

Correct the transfer channel settings, temporarily disable Windows Firewall and antivirus, and retry the transfer. For Ethernet transfers, ensure both PC and panel are on the same subnet.

Compiled project generates multiple errors referencing undefined tags

Review the tag table for missing or incorrectly named tags. This often occurs after importing or copying screens from another project where tag names differ.

Use the cross-reference function in WinCC flexible to identify all undefined tag references, then correct or remap the tags in the tag table before recompiling.

PC-based simulation crashes or does not start

Check that the WinCC flexible Runtime simulation component is installed and that no other runtime or simulation instance is already running in the background.

Close all existing simulation instances via Task Manager, ensure the latest service pack for WinCC flexible 2008 is applied, and restart the simulation from the engineering environment.
