Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BU08-0AV0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides a comprehensive SCADA and HMI configuration environment used to develop visualization projects for Siemens operator panels and HMI devices. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI software portfolio and is designed for use on standard engineering PCs running compatible Windows operating systems.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting the full range of Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels, including the OP, TP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. The software provides tools for creating screens, configuring tags, setting up alarms, scripting with VBScript, and managing recipes and trends. It supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet interfaces, and includes a simulation function for offline project testing without physical hardware.

WinCC flexible 2008 is used across a wide range of industrial automation applications including machine building, process automation, and plant engineering. It is particularly common in manufacturing, food and beverage, automotive, and packaging industries where Siemens HMI panels are deployed. The software enables engineers to develop, configure, and transfer HMI projects to target devices efficiently within the SIMATIC automation environment.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000000: Project compilation error — one or more configuration errors detected during project build
Review the output window for specific error details, correct the configuration issues in the affected screens or tags, and recompile the project.
Event ID: 1000001: Communication connection to PLC failed during simulation or runtime transfer
Verify PLC connection settings including IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS address. Ensure the correct communication driver is installed and the network interface is properly configured.
Event ID: 1000002: License not found or license is invalid
Check that the software license dongle (USB or software license) is properly installed. Use the Siemens Automation License Manager to verify and activate the license.
Event ID: 1000003: Project transfer to HMI device failed
Confirm the HMI device is powered on and in transfer mode. Check the transfer cable or Ethernet connection. Verify the correct transfer channel is selected in the project settings.
Event ID: 1000004: Incompatible HMI device type selected for project
Open the project properties and verify that the selected HMI device type matches the physical target device. Migrate the project to the correct device type if necessary.
Event ID: 1000005: Tag limit exceeded for the selected software edition
Check the number of configured tags against the licensed tag limit for the installed WinCC flexible edition. Upgrade the license to a higher edition or reduce the number of tags.
Event ID: 1000006: Script compilation error in VBScript function
Open the script editor and review the reported line numbers for syntax or logic errors. Correct the script and recompile the project.
Event ID: 1000007: Alarm log database error — alarm logging could not be initialized
Check available disk space on the engineering PC. Verify that the alarm log file path is accessible and that the user account has sufficient write permissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including the OP 73, OP 77, TP 177, TP 277, MP 277, MP 377, and Mobile Panel series. It does not support the newer Comfort Panel series, which requires WinCC Comfort or TIA Portal.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with TIA Portal projects?

WinCC flexible 2008 is not directly compatible with TIA Portal. Projects created in WinCC flexible 2008 can be migrated to TIA Portal using the migration tool included in TIA Portal, but the reverse is not supported.

What PLCs can be connected using 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. Third-party PLC connectivity is also possible via OPC DA.

Does WinCC flexible 2008 include a simulation function?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes an integrated simulation function that allows engineers to test and validate HMI projects on the engineering PC without requiring a physical HMI device or PLC connection.

What operating systems are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. It is not supported on Windows 10 or later without compatibility measures.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to install or installation aborts midway

Check the Windows Event Viewer for installation error codes. Verify that the PC meets the minimum hardware and OS requirements and that no conflicting software versions are present.

Uninstall any previous versions of WinCC flexible using the Siemens uninstall tool, ensure all Windows updates are applied, and re-run the installer with administrator privileges.

License error displayed at software startup

Open the Siemens Automation License Manager and check whether the WinCC flexible 2008 license is listed and shows a valid status.

If the license is missing, insert the license USB dongle or transfer the software license to the local machine using the Automation License Manager. If the license is corrupted, contact Siemens support for license recovery.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails with connection error

Verify the physical connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel using the appropriate cable (USB, serial, or Ethernet). Check that the HMI panel is set to transfer mode.

Confirm the correct transfer channel is configured in WinCC flexible under Transfer settings. Check firewall settings on the PC that may be blocking the transfer port, and ensure the correct network adapter is selected.

Compiled project generates unexpected runtime errors on the HMI panel

Compare the HMI panel firmware version with the version required by the WinCC flexible 2008 project. Firmware mismatches can cause runtime instability or missing functionality.

Update the HMI panel firmware to the version compatible with WinCC flexible 2008 using the ProSave tool or via the WinCC flexible transfer function with firmware update enabled.

VBScript functions do not execute correctly at runtime

Enable script diagnostics in the WinCC flexible runtime settings and review the script error log on the HMI panel for specific error messages or line references.

Correct syntax errors or unsupported function calls in the VBScript editor within WinCC flexible. Ensure that all referenced tags and screen objects exist and are correctly named in the project.
