€ 3.383,00
The Siemens 6AV6372-2DF07-0FX4 is a software license for WinCC flexible, Siemens' engineering software platform designed for configuring and commissioning HMI (Human-Machine Interface) panels within the SIMATIC HMI product family. This part number corresponds to a specific edition or upgrade package of WinCC flexible, used to create visualization projects for operator panels ranging from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. WinCC flexible is part of the broader Siemens SIMATIC automation software ecosystem.
WinCC flexible provides a comprehensive engineering environment with a project-oriented structure, enabling the configuration of screens, alarms, tags, recipes, 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, PROFINET, MPI, and Ethernet. It includes tools for multi-language project management, library-based object reuse, and simulation capabilities for offline testing of HMI projects without physical hardware.
WinCC flexible is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine building applications where SIMATIC HMI panels are deployed. It is suitable for industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and general factory automation. The software enables engineers and system integrators to develop scalable HMI solutions that can be migrated to the successor platform TIA Portal WinCC as projects evolve.

Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 1000001
- Communication error between WinCC flexible runtime and the connected PLC. The configured connection cannot be established.
Check physical network connections, verify PLC IP address or MPI/PROFIBUS address settings, and confirm the communication driver is correctly configured in the project. - Event ID: 1000002
- Tag read/write error. A configured tag cannot be read from or written to the PLC.
Verify the tag address exists in the PLC program, check data type consistency between HMI tag and PLC variable, and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode. - Event ID: 1000003
- License not found or license invalid. WinCC flexible runtime cannot find a valid license for the configured feature set.
Check the license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM), ensure the correct license is installed and not expired or transferred. - Event ID: 1000004
- Project download failed. Transfer of the HMI project to the target panel was unsuccessful.
Verify the transfer cable or network connection, confirm the panel is in Transfer mode, and check that the project is compiled without errors before downloading. - Event ID: 1000005
- Runtime startup error. WinCC flexible Runtime failed to start on the target HMI device.
Check available memory on the HMI panel, verify the project is compatible with the panel type and firmware version, and re-download the project if necessary. - Event ID: 1000006
- Alarm log overflow. The alarm buffer on the HMI device has reached its maximum capacity.
Archive or clear the alarm log, increase the configured alarm buffer size in the project settings, or enable automatic alarm archiving to external storage. - Event ID: 1000007
- Recipe data error. A recipe record could not be read or written correctly.
Check recipe configuration for correct tag assignments and data types, verify sufficient storage space on the panel, and ensure the recipe file is not corrupted.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the WinCC flexible 6AV6372-2DF07-0FX4 software used for?
This software is used to engineer, configure, and commission SIMATIC HMI operator panels. It allows users to create visualization screens, configure alarms, tags, recipes, and communication connections to PLCs.
Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible?
WinCC flexible supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels, OP/TP operator panels, Multi Panels (MP series), and Mobile Panels. The specific panels supported depend on the edition of the software.
Is WinCC flexible compatible with TIA Portal projects?
WinCC flexible is a predecessor to TIA Portal WinCC. Projects created in WinCC flexible can be migrated to TIA Portal using the migration tool provided by Siemens, but the two environments are not directly interchangeable.
What PLCs can be connected using WinCC flexible?
WinCC flexible supports connections to SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, and Industrial Ethernet, as well as third-party controllers using standard communication drivers.
Does WinCC flexible include a simulation function?
Yes, WinCC flexible includes an integrated simulation tool that allows engineers to test and validate HMI projects on a PC without requiring a physical HMI panel or PLC connection.
Troubleshooting
WinCC flexible software fails to install or reports a license error during installation
Check whether the Automation License Manager (ALM) is installed and whether a valid license key is present. Verify that the installation media or license matches the software version being installed.
Install or update the Siemens Automation License Manager, transfer the correct license to the engineering PC, and re-run the WinCC flexible installation. Ensure the PC meets the minimum system requirements for the software version.
Project cannot be downloaded to the HMI panel
Confirm the panel is set to Transfer mode and that the correct transfer channel (Ethernet, USB, or MPI) is configured in both the project and the panel settings. Check for firewall or antivirus software blocking the connection.
Set the HMI panel to Transfer mode via its Start Center, verify the IP address or communication parameters match the project settings, disable interfering firewall rules, and retry the project download.
Communication between HMI and PLC is lost during runtime
Check the physical network or bus cable connections, verify the PLC is in RUN mode, and review the connection diagnostics in the WinCC flexible runtime alarm view for specific communication fault messages.
Reseat or replace network cables, confirm PLC address settings match the HMI project configuration, and check for IP address conflicts on the network. Restart both the HMI panel and PLC if the issue persists.
Alarm messages are not displayed on the HMI panel during runtime
Verify that alarm tags are correctly configured and linked to the appropriate PLC bit addresses. Check that the alarm view object is placed on the correct screen and that the alarm class is enabled in the project.
Review the alarm configuration in WinCC flexible engineering, confirm the PLC program is setting the correct alarm bits, and ensure the alarm view control on the HMI screen is properly configured and visible.
WinCC flexible project simulation crashes or does not reflect PLC data
The simulation tool operates without a live PLC connection, so tag values must be manually set or scripted within the simulator. Crashes may indicate insufficient PC memory or a corrupted project file.
Increase available RAM on the engineering PC, repair or reinstall WinCC flexible, and use the project consistency check tool to identify and resolve errors in the project before running the simulation.
