Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BJ08-0AX0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, 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 software portfolio and is used to create visualization projects for operator panels across the SIMATIC range.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based runtime systems. The software supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet interfaces. It includes features such as faceplates, scripting via VBScript, alarm management, trend displays, recipe management, and multi-language project support. The 2008 edition introduced enhanced usability features and expanded device compatibility compared to earlier versions.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, machine building, and plant engineering environments. It is particularly suited for OEMs and system integrators who need to develop standardized HMI projects deployable across multiple panel types. Industries such as automotive, food and beverage, packaging, and water treatment commonly use this software to configure operator interfaces for their production and process equipment.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: License not found or invalid license key detected during software startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Event ID: 1000010: Communication error between WinCC flexible engineering station and the target HMI device
Check the physical connection (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet cable). Verify correct communication settings (baud rate, station address, IP address) in the project and on the device.
Event ID: 1000020: Project compilation error due to inconsistent or missing configuration data
Review the compiler output log for specific missing references or configuration conflicts. Correct the identified objects and recompile the project.
Event ID: 1000030: Transfer to HMI device failed during project download
Ensure the HMI device is in transfer mode. Check that the correct transfer channel (USB, Ethernet, MPI) is selected and that no firewall or antivirus software is blocking the connection.
Event ID: 1000040: Runtime error on HMI panel — project version mismatch between engineering software and panel runtime
Ensure the WinCC flexible runtime version installed on the HMI panel matches the engineering software version. Update the panel runtime via the Siemens ProSave tool if necessary.
Event ID: 1000050: Tag limit exceeded — number of configured tags exceeds the license or device limit
Reduce the number of tags in the project or upgrade to a higher-tier license that supports a greater tag count. Check the device-specific tag limits in the product documentation.
Event ID: 1000060: Script execution error in VBScript function during runtime
Review the VBScript code for syntax errors or invalid object references. Use the WinCC flexible diagnostic tools to identify the specific script and line causing the error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels (KP/TP 170 Micro), OP/TP 177, OP/TP 277, MP 277, MP 377, and PC-based runtime systems. Compatibility depends on the specific edition (Micro, Compact, Standard, or Advanced).

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal projects?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not natively compatible with TIA Portal. However, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal to import WinCC flexible projects, though some manual rework may be required after migration.

What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports Windows XP (SP2 or later), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit). It is not compatible with 64-bit operating systems or Windows 10/11 without virtualization.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 communicate with S7-1200 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 SP3 and later support communication with SIMATIC S7-1200 PLCs via Ethernet using the S7 protocol. Ensure the latest service pack is installed for full compatibility.

What is the difference between WinCC flexible editions (Micro, Compact, Standard, Advanced)?

The editions differ in the number of supported tags, device types, and features. Micro supports basic Micro Panels with limited tags, Compact adds support for more panel types, Standard includes additional features such as recipes and trends, and Advanced supports the full range of Multi Panels and PC runtime with the highest tag counts.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2008 is listed and active on the local machine or a connected license dongle.

If no valid license is found, transfer the license from the original storage medium using ALM. If the license is present but flagged as invalid, perform a license repair using the ALM repair function or contact Siemens support.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel via Ethernet

Verify the IP address configured in the WinCC flexible project matches the IP address set on the HMI panel. Check network connectivity using a ping command from the engineering PC to the panel IP address.

Correct any IP address mismatch in the project settings or on the panel (via the panel's control panel network settings). Disable any firewall rules blocking port 102 (S7 communication) on the engineering PC.

Compilation errors appear when opening or building an existing project

Review the compiler error log in the output window. Identify whether errors relate to missing device drivers, unsupported functions for the selected target device, or broken tag references.

Update WinCC flexible 2008 to the latest service pack to ensure device driver compatibility. Correct broken tag references by relinking them to valid PLC variables, and remove or replace any functions not supported by the target panel type.

HMI panel shows 'Runtime not found' or fails to load the project after download

Check the runtime version installed on the HMI panel using the Siemens ProSave tool. Compare the runtime version with the version of WinCC flexible 2008 used to create the project.

Use ProSave to update the panel runtime to a version compatible with WinCC flexible 2008. After updating the runtime, re-transfer the project from the engineering software.

Communication between the HMI panel and S7 PLC is intermittent or fails during runtime

Check the physical network or MPI/PROFIBUS cable connections. Verify the PLC station address and communication parameters configured in the WinCC flexible project match the actual PLC settings.

Replace faulty cables or connectors. Correct any address or baud rate mismatches in the project connection settings. Ensure the PLC is in RUN mode and that no other device on the network shares the same station address.
