Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BQ07-5AH0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2007, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the runtime and configuration environment for developing and deploying 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 HMI range.

WinCC flexible 2007 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. The software supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces. It includes features such as tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and multi-language project support. The engineering tool runs on standard Windows-based PCs and provides a consistent project framework that can be migrated to newer WinCC platforms.

WinCC flexible 2007 is widely used in manufacturing automation, process control, and machine building applications where operator visualization and control are required. It is suitable for industries including automotive, food and beverage, packaging, and general factory automation. The software enables machine builders and system integrators to develop standardized HMI solutions that can be deployed across multiple SIMATIC panel types from a single engineering environment.

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 HMI panel. Verify project compatibility with the target device type and re-download the project.
Event ID: 2010: Communication error — No connection established between HMI and PLC.
Verify MPI/PROFIBUS/Ethernet cable connections and network settings. Confirm PLC address settings match the HMI project configuration and that the PLC is in RUN mode.
Event ID: 3000: Tag read/write error — A configured tag could not be read from or written to the PLC.
Check that the tag address in the HMI project matches the actual PLC data block or memory address. Verify PLC program is running and the data area is accessible.
Event ID: 4001: License error — No valid license found for WinCC flexible engineering software.
Verify that the software license dongle (USB or Automation License Manager) is connected and recognized. Use the Siemens Automation License Manager to check license status and transfer if necessary.
Event ID: 5010: Project download error — Transfer of project to HMI panel failed or was interrupted.
Check the transfer cable or network connection between the engineering PC and HMI panel. Ensure the panel is in Transfer mode and that the correct transfer channel is configured in the project settings.
Event ID: 6020: Alarm buffer overflow — The alarm log buffer on the HMI device is full.
Increase the alarm buffer size in the project settings or enable automatic archiving of alarms. Clear the existing alarm buffer on the device and re-download the project.
Event ID: 7005: Recipe data error — Recipe records could not be read from or written to the configured storage location.
Check the recipe storage path and ensure sufficient memory is available on the target device. Verify recipe configuration in the engineering project and re-transfer the project to the panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2007?

WinCC flexible 2007 supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels (KTP series), Operator Panels (OP 77, OP 177, OP 277), Touch Panels (TP 177, TP 277), Multi Panels (MP 277, MP 377), and Mobile Panels. PC-based Runtime is also supported.

Which PLCs can communicate with HMI projects created in WinCC flexible 2007?

WinCC flexible 2007 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet. Third-party PLC communication is also possible via OPC or specific drivers.

Is WinCC flexible 2007 compatible with Windows 10?

WinCC flexible 2007 was designed for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit) and is not officially supported on Windows 10. For Windows 10 compatibility, Siemens recommends upgrading to WinCC flexible 2008 or migrating to TIA Portal WinCC.

Can projects created in WinCC flexible 2007 be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2007 projects can be migrated to TIA Portal using the integrated migration tool available in TIA Portal. Some manual rework may be required depending on the complexity of the project and the features used.

What is the Automation License Manager and is it required for this software?

The Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) is a tool used to manage software licenses for SIMATIC software products including WinCC flexible. A valid license managed through the ALM is required to use the engineering software beyond the trial period.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2007 engineering software fails to start or displays a license error on launch

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2007 is present and not expired or corrupted. Verify the USB license dongle is connected if a hardware-based license is used.

Transfer a valid license to the engineering PC using the Automation License Manager. If using a USB dongle, ensure it is recognized by Windows Device Manager. Reinstall the Automation License Manager if licenses are not detected.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel

Check the transfer connection type (USB, MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet) and verify the panel is set to Transfer mode. Confirm the correct transfer channel is selected in the WinCC flexible project transfer settings.

Set the HMI panel to Transfer mode via the Start Center or Control Panel on the device. Verify cable connections and network addresses. Disable any firewall software on the engineering PC that may block the transfer connection.

HMI panel shows no communication to PLC after project download

Check the communication driver settings in the WinCC flexible project, including PLC address, network type (MPI/PROFIBUS/Ethernet), and baud rate. Verify physical cable connections and that the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.

Correct the PLC address and communication parameters in the HMI project and re-download. Replace or reseat the communication cable. For PROFIBUS, verify bus termination resistors are correctly placed at both ends of the network.

Alarm messages are not displayed on the HMI panel at runtime

Verify that alarm tags are correctly configured in the WinCC flexible project and that the corresponding PLC bit addresses are correct. Check that the alarm view or alarm window object is present and enabled on the relevant HMI screen.

Review the alarm configuration in the engineering project, correct any incorrect tag addresses, and ensure the alarm display object is properly configured on the screen. Re-download the project to the panel after making corrections.

WinCC flexible software crashes or becomes unstable during project editing

Check the engineering PC for compatibility with the installed Windows version. Verify that all required service packs and patches for WinCC flexible 2007 are installed. Large or complex projects may also cause instability on underpowered hardware.

Install the latest available service pack for WinCC flexible 2007 from Siemens support. Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements. Compact and optimize the project file, and consider splitting very large projects into smaller modular projects.
