Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2AB07-5AV3 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2007, 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 2007 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of Siemens HMI hardware, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. The software provides tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and script-based automation using VBScript. It supports communication via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Ethernet interfaces, and integrates directly with SIMATIC STEP 7 for seamless PLC-HMI project coordination. The software includes a library of pre-built faceplates and supports multilingual project configuration.

WinCC flexible 2007 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine building applications across industries such as automotive, food and beverage, packaging, and chemical processing. It is particularly suited for environments where standardized Siemens SIMATIC hardware is deployed and where tight integration between PLC programming and HMI visualization is required. The software enables engineers to configure operator interfaces for both standalone machines and networked plant-wide systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1920: Runtime license not found or invalid license key detected during startup.
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Error 1722: Installation error during WinCC flexible setup, typically related to a missing or corrupt Windows Installer component.
Repair or reinstall the Windows Installer service, then re-run the WinCC flexible 2007 installation package.
Communication Error: Loss of communication between the WinCC flexible runtime and the connected SIMATIC PLC.
Check physical connections on PROFIBUS, MPI, or Ethernet. Verify correct communication driver settings and PLC address configuration in the project.
Tag Limit Exceeded: The number of configured tags in the project exceeds the licensed tag count for the installed software edition.
Upgrade the WinCC flexible license to a higher tag count edition or reduce the number of tags in the project.
Runtime Start Error: WinCC flexible Runtime fails to start due to a corrupted project file or missing runtime components.
Validate the project in the engineering environment, recompile, and re-transfer to the target system. Reinstall runtime components if the issue persists.
License Transfer Error: License cannot be transferred between systems using the Automation License Manager.
Ensure the source and target systems both have the Automation License Manager installed and that the USB dongle or software license is correctly recognized.
Project Compilation Error: Errors detected during project compilation, preventing download to the HMI panel.
Review the error list in the engineering software, correct all flagged configuration issues such as invalid tag references or missing screen objects, then recompile.
Driver Not Found: The communication driver for the selected PLC type is not installed or not recognized.
Install the appropriate communication driver from the WinCC flexible 2007 installation media and verify driver selection in the project communication settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HMI hardware is compatible with WinCC flexible 2007?

WinCC flexible 2007 supports a wide range of Siemens SIMATIC HMI hardware including Micro Panels, Mobile Panels, Multi Panels, and PC-based HMI systems. It does not support the newer Comfort Panel series, which requires WinCC flexible 2008 or TIA Portal.

Which operating systems are supported for the engineering software installation?

WinCC flexible 2007 is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista. Limited support may be available for Windows 7 32-bit with appropriate patches applied.

Can WinCC flexible 2007 be integrated with SIMATIC STEP 7?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2007 integrates directly with SIMATIC STEP 7, allowing shared tag databases and coordinated PLC-HMI project management within the same engineering environment.

What communication protocols does WinCC flexible 2007 support?

The software supports PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Ethernet-based communication protocols, enabling connectivity to a broad range of Siemens SIMATIC PLCs and third-party controllers.

Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2007?

WinCC flexible 2007 uses the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) for license management. Depending on the license type, either a software-based license or a USB hardware dongle may be required.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible Runtime does not start on the target HMI panel

Check whether the correct runtime version is installed on the panel and whether the project was compiled without errors. Verify available storage memory on the panel.

Recompile the project in the engineering software, ensure the runtime version matches the panel firmware, and re-transfer the project. Free up storage space on the panel if memory is insufficient.

No communication between HMI and PLC after project download

Verify the communication settings in the WinCC flexible project, including PLC type, interface (MPI, PROFIBUS, Ethernet), and address parameters. Check physical cabling and interface module status.

Correct the communication parameters in the project to match the PLC configuration, ensure the correct cable type is used for the selected interface, and confirm the PLC is in RUN mode.

License error displayed when launching WinCC flexible engineering software

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid WinCC flexible 2007 license is present and active on the system.

Transfer a valid license to the engineering PC using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is properly connected and recognized by the operating system.

Project compilation fails with multiple tag errors

Review the compiler error list for references to undefined or duplicate tags. Check whether all PLC variables referenced in the HMI project exist in the connected STEP 7 project.

Synchronize the HMI tag table with the STEP 7 symbol table, remove duplicate tag definitions, and correct any invalid data type assignments before recompiling.

WinCC flexible installation fails or rolls back during setup

Check the Windows Event Viewer for installation error codes. Verify that all prerequisite software components such as Microsoft .NET Framework and Windows Installer are at the required versions.

Install all required prerequisites listed in the WinCC flexible 2007 release notes, disable antivirus software during installation, and run the installer with administrator privileges.
