Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BM08-0AH0 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 library of pre-built faceplates, multi-language project support, and integration with STEP 7 for seamless project engineering. The platform supports scalable runtime licensing for various panel sizes and PC-based HMI configurations.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, machine building, and plant engineering applications. It is suitable for industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment where reliable operator interfaces are required. The software enables engineers to develop standardized HMI solutions that can be deployed across multiple panel types, from small Micro Panels to large multi-touch operator panels and PC-based SCADA systems.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000: Runtime startup error — WinCC flexible Runtime failed to initialize correctly on the target device.
Check that the correct runtime version is installed on the panel or PC. Verify license availability and re-transfer the project.
Event ID: 2010: Communication error — No connection established between the HMI and the configured PLC.
Verify PLC address settings, check physical communication cable or network connection, and confirm that the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Event ID: 3010: Tag read/write error — A configured tag could not be read from or written to the PLC.
Check tag address configuration in the WinCC flexible project. Verify that the PLC data block or memory area exists and is accessible.
Event ID: 4000: License not found — No valid runtime license detected for WinCC flexible Runtime.
Install the correct license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Ensure the license matches the runtime size and version.
Event ID: 5000: Project transfer error — Project could not be transferred to the target panel or PC.
Check the transfer connection (USB, Ethernet, or MPI). Ensure the panel is in transfer mode and that the project is compiled without errors.
Event ID: 6010: Recipe data error — Recipe records could not be read or written correctly.
Verify recipe configuration and data medium availability. Check that the recipe tag addresses are correctly mapped in the PLC.
Event ID: 7000: Script runtime error — A VB Script within the project encountered an execution error.
Review the script logic in the WinCC flexible engineering environment. Check for invalid tag references or unsupported function calls.
Event ID: 8000: Alarm buffer overflow — The alarm buffer on the HMI device has reached its maximum capacity.
Increase the alarm buffer size in the project settings or archive alarms to an external data medium. Clear acknowledged alarms regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which 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. Communication is possible via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet depending on the PLC and panel hardware.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 be integrated with STEP 7?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 supports direct integration with Siemens STEP 7, allowing shared tag databases and simplified project engineering between the PLC and HMI environments.

What operating systems are supported for the engineering software?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports installation on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit variants. It is not natively supported on Windows 10 or later without compatibility measures.

Is a separate runtime license required for each HMI panel?

Yes, a separate WinCC flexible Runtime license is required for each target device. The runtime license size must match the number of configured process tags in the project.

Does WinCC flexible 2008 support multi-language HMI projects?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes multi-language support, allowing operators to switch between configured languages at runtime on the HMI panel.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible Runtime does not start on the HMI panel after project transfer

Check the panel's system information for license status and verify that the transferred project version matches the installed runtime version.

Ensure the correct WinCC flexible Runtime version is installed on the panel. Validate the license using the Automation License Manager and re-transfer the compiled project.

No communication between HMI and PLC after project commissioning

Check the configured PLC address, communication protocol, and physical connection. Use the panel's diagnostic screen to view connection status.

Correct the PLC address and communication parameters in the WinCC flexible project. Verify cable integrity, network switch configuration, and that the PLC is in RUN mode before re-transferring.

Project compilation fails with tag limit exceeded error

The number of configured process tags in the project exceeds the limit of the installed runtime license.

Reduce the number of tags in the project or upgrade the runtime license to a higher tag count tier using the Siemens Automation License Manager.

Alarms are not displayed on the HMI panel at runtime

Check the alarm configuration in the engineering software, including trigger tags, alarm classes, and display settings on the alarm view object.

Verify that alarm trigger tags are correctly mapped to PLC addresses. Ensure the alarm view control is properly configured on the relevant HMI screen and that the alarm class is active.

Recipe data is not saved correctly to the HMI panel

Check the recipe configuration for correct data medium assignment and verify available storage space on the panel's internal memory or memory card.

Assign the recipe to the correct storage location in the project settings. Clear unnecessary files from the panel memory or insert a formatted memory card with sufficient capacity.
