Siemens 6AV6381-2BC07-5AV0 WinCC flexible 2007

SKU: 6AV6381-2BC07-5AV0 Category: HMI & Display Brand: Siemens

Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BC07-5AV0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2007 Compact, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the engineering environment used to configure and program Siemens HMI panels, including the OP, TP, and MP series operator panels. It is designed to run on a standard engineering PC and delivers a project-based workflow for creating HMI visualizations.

WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports configuration of basic to mid-range Siemens HMI devices, offering a drag-and-drop graphical editor, tag management, alarm logging, recipe management, and trend display configuration. The software integrates with the Siemens SIMATIC environment and supports communication drivers for S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet interfaces. It runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems and supports project migration from ProTool and earlier WinCC flexible versions.

This software is used across a wide range of industrial automation applications including machine building, process control, and factory automation. It is particularly suited for OEMs and system integrators who need to develop operator interfaces for packaging machinery, conveyor systems, press lines, and similar equipment. The Compact edition targets smaller HMI panel configurations while maintaining compatibility with the broader SIMATIC HMI ecosystem.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1001: License not found or invalid license key detected during software startup
Verify the license dongle (USB or SIMATIC Automation License Manager) is connected and the correct license is activated. Use the Automation License Manager to check license status.
Error 1002: Project file version mismatch — project was created with a newer version of WinCC flexible
Upgrade the WinCC flexible installation to the required version or open the project on a PC with the correct software version installed.
Error 1003: Communication driver not installed or not found for the selected PLC connection
Reinstall the communication driver from the WinCC flexible installation media and ensure the correct PLC protocol is selected in the project connection settings.
Error 1004: Compilation error — invalid tag reference or missing tag in the project
Open the project in the WinCC flexible editor, navigate to the tag table, and resolve all missing or incorrectly referenced tags before recompiling.
Error 1005: Transfer error — HMI panel not reachable during project download
Check the physical connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Verify the correct transfer channel (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet) and address settings on both the PC and the panel.
Error 1006: Runtime simulation failure — simulation cannot start due to missing runtime components
Reinstall the WinCC flexible runtime simulation component from the installation package and ensure the PC meets the minimum system requirements.
Error 1007: Alarm configuration error — duplicate alarm number detected
Open the alarm editor and resolve duplicate alarm numbers. Each alarm must have a unique identifier within the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?

WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports basic to mid-range Siemens HMI panels including the OP 73, OP 77, TP 177, and similar devices in the SIMATIC HMI family. Higher-end panels such as the MP 377 may require the Standard or Advanced edition.

Which PLCs can be connected using this software?

The software supports connections to SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet communication interfaces.

Can existing ProTool projects be migrated to WinCC flexible 2007?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2007 includes a migration tool that allows projects created in ProTool and earlier WinCC flexible versions to be converted and opened in the new environment.

What operating systems are compatible with this software?

WinCC flexible 2007 is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista. It is not natively supported on Windows 7 or later without additional compatibility measures.

Is a hardware dongle required to run this software?

Licensing is managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). The license may be stored on a USB dongle or transferred to the engineering PC's hard drive using the ALM tool.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to start and displays a license error

Check whether the Automation License Manager (ALM) detects a valid license. Open ALM and inspect the license list for the WinCC flexible 2007 Compact entry.

Ensure the USB license dongle is connected or transfer the license to the local drive using ALM. If the license is missing or corrupted, contact Siemens support for license recovery.

Project cannot be downloaded to the HMI panel

Verify the physical cable connection between the PC and the HMI panel. Check the transfer settings in WinCC flexible, including the communication channel type and device address.

Correct the transfer channel settings to match the physical connection (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet). Ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode and that the correct baud rate and address are configured on both ends.

Compilation fails with tag reference errors

Open the tag editor and cross-reference all tags used in screens and alarms. Look for tags that are referenced in graphics or scripts but not defined in the tag table.

Add missing tags to the tag table with the correct data type and PLC address, or remove invalid references from screens and alarm configurations, then recompile the project.

Simulation does not launch from the engineering environment

Check that the WinCC flexible runtime simulation component is installed by reviewing the installed components in the setup or control panel.

Run the WinCC flexible installer and perform a repair or custom installation to add the simulation runtime component. Ensure the PC meets the minimum RAM and processor requirements.

Alarm displays are not updating correctly on the target HMI panel after download

Verify that the alarm tag addresses in the project match the actual PLC data block addresses. Check the PLC program to confirm the alarm bits are being set correctly.

Correct the tag addresses in the WinCC flexible alarm configuration to match the PLC memory layout. Re-download the project to the HMI panel and test alarm triggering from the PLC side.
