Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BL08-0AV0 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 a wide range of operator panels.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a comprehensive set of engineering tools including tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and script-based automation. The software supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet interfaces. It provides a scalable architecture allowing projects to be migrated across different panel types and supports multi-language project configuration for international deployments.

This software is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, packaging machinery, and building automation applications where operator visualization and control are required. It is suitable for configuring a broad range of Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels including the TP, OP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. The scalability and compatibility with the broader SIMATIC ecosystem make it a standard engineering tool in industrial automation environments.

Common Error Codes and System Events

Event ID: 1000: Project could not be opened due to version incompatibility between the project file and the installed WinCC flexible version.
Ensure the correct version of WinCC flexible is installed. Migrate the project using the project migration wizard if upgrading from an older version.
Event ID: 1010: Communication error between the HMI panel and the PLC. The configured connection cannot be established.
Check physical connections, verify PLC address settings, and confirm that the communication driver and interface parameters are correctly configured in the project.
Event ID: 1020: Tag read/write error. A configured tag could not be read from or written to the connected controller.
Verify the tag address in the project matches the actual PLC data block or memory area. Check PLC program for correct data type and address allocation.
Event ID: 1030: License not found or license is invalid for the installed software components.
Check the license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Transfer or repair the license as required using the ALM tool.
Event ID: 1040: Runtime startup failure. WinCC flexible Runtime could not start the project on the target panel or PC.
Verify that the correct runtime version is installed on the target device. Check available memory and ensure the project was compiled without errors before transfer.
Event ID: 1050: Project transfer failed. The project could not be downloaded to the target HMI panel.
Check the transfer cable or network connection. Ensure the panel is in transfer mode and that the correct interface is selected in the transfer settings dialog.
Event ID: 1060: Alarm logging error. Historical alarm data could not be written to the configured storage location.
Check available storage space on the target medium. Verify the path and storage configuration in the alarm logging settings within the project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Siemens PLC families are compatible with WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces.

Which HMI panel series can be configured using this software?

The software supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including the TP (Touch Panel), OP (Operator Panel), MP (Multi Panel), and Mobile Panel series.

Can projects created in older versions of WinCC flexible be opened in WinCC flexible 2008?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes a project migration wizard that allows projects created in earlier versions of WinCC flexible to be upgraded and used with the 2008 release.

What operating systems are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems.

Is a separate license required for the runtime component?

Yes, separate runtime licenses are required for PC-based runtime deployments. The engineering license (6AV6381-2BL08-0AV0) covers the configuration environment, while runtime licenses are managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager.

Troubleshooting

Software installation fails or does not complete successfully

Check Windows event logs for installation errors. Verify that the operating system version is supported and that all prerequisites such as Microsoft .NET Framework are installed.

Install all required Windows updates and prerequisites before running the WinCC flexible 2008 installer. Run the installer with administrator privileges and disable antivirus software temporarily during installation.

License is not recognized after installation

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether the license is listed and assigned to the correct drive or dongle.

Use the ALM to transfer the license to the correct storage location. If the license is on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected and recognized by Windows before starting the software.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel

Verify the communication interface settings in the transfer dialog. Check that the panel is set to transfer mode and that the correct IP address or COM port is configured.

Restart the HMI panel in transfer mode, confirm network or serial cable connections, and re-attempt the transfer. Ensure firewall settings on the engineering PC do not block the transfer port.

Tags are not updating on the HMI screen during runtime

Check the connection status indicator in the runtime environment. Use the WinCC flexible diagnostic tools to verify the communication link to the PLC is active.

Verify PLC address and tag address configuration in the project. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and that the communication cable or network connection is functioning correctly.

Compiled project generates errors or warnings during build

Review the output window in the WinCC flexible engineering environment for specific error messages related to tags, screens, or scripts.

Correct all reported errors in the project, such as invalid tag addresses, missing images, or script syntax errors, then recompile the project before attempting a transfer.
