€ 1.995,00
The Siemens 6AV6381-2BP07-5AH0 is a software license package belonging to the SIMATIC WinCC flexible product family, developed by Siemens for engineering and configuring HMI (Human-Machine Interface) applications. This part number corresponds to a WinCC flexible 2007 Compact edition, which provides a streamlined engineering environment for configuring operator panels and touch-based HMI devices within the SIMATIC automation ecosystem. It is a PC-based software tool rather than a hardware panel, delivered as an installable package for use on standard Windows-based engineering workstations.
WinCC flexible Compact supports configuration of Siemens HMI panels such as the SIMATIC Micro Panels, OP/TP 170, and similar compact operator panel families. The software provides a graphical project editor, tag management, alarm logging, recipe management, and trend display configuration. It integrates directly with SIMATIC STEP 7 for seamless data exchange and symbol import, reducing engineering effort. Communication is supported via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and serial interfaces depending on the target panel hardware.
This software is widely used in small to medium-scale machine automation projects across industries such as packaging, food and beverage, plastics processing, and general manufacturing. It is particularly suited for OEMs and machine builders who require a cost-effective HMI engineering tool for compact operator panels. The Compact edition is appropriate for applications where a limited number of process tags and screens are sufficient for operator interaction and machine monitoring.

Common Error Codes and Software Events
- Error 1920
- License not found or license server unreachable during software startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Automation License Manager. Ensure the USB dongle or software license is properly activated on the engineering PC. - Error 1722
- Installation error indicating a problem with the Windows Installer package during setup
Re-run the installer as Administrator. Ensure all prerequisites such as Microsoft .NET Framework and Visual C++ redistributables are installed before retrying. - Compiler Error: Tag limit exceeded
- The number of configured process tags in the project exceeds the maximum allowed by the Compact license edition
Reduce the number of tags in the project to within the 128-tag limit, or upgrade to a higher WinCC flexible edition such as Standard or Advanced. - Communication Error: No connection to HMI device
- The engineering PC cannot establish a connection to the target HMI panel for project download
Check the physical cable connection (MPI, PROFIBUS, or USB). Verify the correct communication interface is selected in the project transfer settings. Ensure the HMI panel is powered and in transfer mode. - Runtime Simulation Error
- The integrated simulator fails to start or crashes during project simulation on the engineering PC
Ensure the PC meets minimum system requirements. Close other resource-intensive applications. Reinstall the WinCC flexible runtime simulation component if the issue persists. - Project Conversion Error
- An older WinCC flexible project cannot be opened or converted to the current software version
Use the integrated project migration wizard. Back up the original project before conversion. If conversion fails, check Siemens support for known compatibility issues between versions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What HMI panels are compatible with WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports Siemens SIMATIC Micro Panels, OP 73, TP 177 Micro, and other compact operator panels. It does not support the full range of Comfort or Advanced panels, which require higher editions of WinCC flexible or WinCC Advanced.
Can this software be integrated with SIMATIC STEP 7?
Yes, WinCC flexible integrates directly with SIMATIC STEP 7, allowing symbol import and shared project management. This reduces configuration effort by enabling tag reuse between the PLC and HMI projects.
What is the maximum number of process tags supported in the Compact edition?
The Compact edition supports up to 128 process tags. If a project requires more tags, an upgrade to the Standard or Advanced edition of WinCC flexible is necessary.
What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2007?
WinCC flexible 2007 is compatible with Windows XP (SP2 or later), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit). It is not officially supported on Windows 10 or Windows 11 without compatibility workarounds.
Is a hardware dongle required to run this software?
Depending on the license variant, either a USB hardware dongle or a software-based license managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager is required. The license must be present on the engineering PC for the software to operate.
Troubleshooting
Software fails to start after installation and displays a license error
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible Compact is listed and active. Verify the USB dongle is connected if a hardware license is used.
Transfer or activate the correct license using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, try a different USB port. Contact Siemens license support if the license appears corrupted or missing.
Project download to HMI panel fails with a communication timeout
Check the cable connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Verify the selected transfer interface in WinCC flexible matches the physical connection type (USB, MPI, or PROFIBUS). Confirm the HMI panel is in transfer mode.
Replace the communication cable if damaged. Set the HMI panel to transfer mode manually via its start center. Ensure the correct COM port or network adapter is selected in the PC settings and WinCC flexible transfer configuration.
Compiled project reports tag limit exceeded error and will not compile
Review the tag table in the WinCC flexible project editor and count the total number of configured external process tags. The Compact edition has a hard limit of 128 tags.
Remove unused or redundant tags to bring the total below 128. Alternatively, upgrade the WinCC flexible license to the Standard edition, which supports a higher tag count.
Simulation of the HMI project on the PC does not start or crashes immediately
Check the Windows Event Viewer for application errors related to WinCC flexible runtime. Verify that the PC meets the minimum RAM and CPU requirements for running the simulation environment.
Ensure at least 1 GB of RAM is available and close background applications. Reinstall the WinCC flexible simulation component via the original installation media by performing a repair installation.
Existing project from an older WinCC flexible version cannot be opened
WinCC flexible 2007 may not automatically open projects created in significantly older versions without a migration step. Check the project file version information in the file properties.
Use the WinCC flexible project migration tool included in the software to convert the older project. Always create a backup of the original project files before attempting migration to avoid data loss.
