Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BV08-0AH0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the runtime and configuration environment used to develop and deploy human-machine interface (HMI) applications on Siemens panels and PC-based systems. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI software portfolio and is designed for use with the full range of Siemens operator panels and multi-panel devices.

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 includes a library of pre-built faceplates and graphic objects, and supports multi-language project configuration for international deployments. The 2008 version introduced enhanced performance, improved migration tools from ProTool projects, and expanded device support.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, packaging, and machine tool industries where Siemens SIMATIC HMI panels are deployed. It is suitable for projects requiring centralized HMI engineering across multiple panel types, from small OP/TP panels to larger multi-panel installations. The software is particularly common in OEM machine building environments where standardized HMI templates and reusable project structures are required.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Event ID: 1000001: Communication error between engineering PC and HMI device during download
Check the communication cable and interface settings. Verify the correct COM port or Ethernet IP address is configured in the project transfer settings.
Event ID: 1000002: License not found or license key invalid
Verify that the software license dongle (USB key) is properly inserted or that the software activation is valid. Use the Siemens Automation License Manager to check license status.
Event ID: 1000010: Project compilation error due to invalid tag configuration
Review the tag table for duplicate tag names or unsupported data types. Correct any highlighted errors in the compiler output window before retrying the download.
Event ID: 1000020: Device type mismatch during project transfer
Ensure the target HMI device type selected in the project matches the physical device. Update the device type in project properties if necessary.
Event ID: 1000030: Runtime startup failure on HMI panel after project transfer
Check available memory on the HMI device. Delete unused projects or data logs from the panel and retry the transfer.
Event ID: 1000040: Alarm log database full
Archive or clear the alarm log on the HMI device. Adjust the alarm log size settings in the project configuration to prevent recurrence.
Event ID: 1000050: Script execution error during runtime
Review VB Script code for syntax errors or unsupported functions. Use the WinCC flexible diagnostics view to identify the script and line causing the error.

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 via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Industrial Ethernet interfaces.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible 2008 projects, though some manual rework may be required for complex configurations.

What operating systems are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. It is not natively supported on Windows 10 or later.

Does this license include WinCC flexible Runtime?

The 6AV6381-2BV08-0AH0 is an engineering software license. Runtime licenses for PC-based HMI applications are sold separately and are tied to the number of tags or power tags required.

Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2008?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 requires a valid license managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager. The license may be stored on a USB dongle or transferred to the PC hard drive.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to start after installation

Check the Automation License Manager to confirm the license is present and valid. Review Windows Event Viewer for application errors related to WinCC flexible startup.

Reinsert the USB license dongle or use the Automation License Manager to repair or reactivate the license. Reinstall the software if DLL errors are reported.

Project download to HMI panel fails with communication error

Verify the transfer cable connection and check the interface settings in the Transfer dialog. Confirm the HMI panel is in Transfer mode and the IP address or COM port matches the project settings.

Replace the communication cable if faulty, correct the interface settings, and ensure the HMI panel is set to accept transfers. Disable any firewall software that may be blocking the Ethernet connection.

Compilation errors appear when building the project

Open the compiler output window and review all error messages. Common causes include duplicate tag names, unsupported data types for the selected device, or missing graphic objects.

Correct all flagged errors in the tag table, screen configuration, or alarm settings. Ensure the selected target device type matches the intended hardware and that all referenced libraries are installed.

HMI panel displays 'No connection to PLC' at runtime

Check the PLC communication settings in the project, including the PLC address, network type, and slot/rack number. Verify the physical network cable and PLC operating state.

Correct the PLC connection parameters in WinCC flexible, recompile, and re-download the project. Confirm the PLC is in RUN mode and reachable on the configured network.

Alarm log or data log is not recording values at runtime

Check the alarm log and data log configuration in the project for correct trigger conditions and storage paths. Verify available storage space on the HMI device.

Adjust the log configuration to ensure triggers are correctly defined and the storage location has sufficient free space. Archive old log data and restart the runtime application.
