Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2BV08-0AV0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' SIMATIC HMI software portfolio. WinCC flexible 2008 is an engineering software platform used to configure, program, and commission SIMATIC HMI operator panels and visualization systems. It belongs to the WinCC flexible product family, which serves as the primary configuration tool for the SIMATIC HMI panel range.

WinCC flexible 2008 provides a comprehensive engineering environment for creating HMI projects, including screen design, tag management, alarm configuration, recipe handling, and trend displays. The software supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices, from Micro Panels and Mobile Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. It offers integrated communication configuration for PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and other industrial protocols, and supports simulation of HMI projects on a standard PC for testing prior to deployment. The software includes tools for structured project management, library reuse, and multi-language project support.

WinCC flexible 2008 is used across a broad range of industrial automation applications wherever SIMATIC HMI panels are deployed. Typical industries include automotive manufacturing, food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical production, water and wastewater treatment, and machine building. The software is particularly suited to OEMs and system integrators who need a scalable, standardized engineering tool capable of managing HMI projects across multiple machine types and panel variants.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1000: License not found or invalid license key detected during software startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Automation License Manager. Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Error 2000: Communication error between WinCC flexible engineering station and HMI panel during transfer
Check the physical connection (USB, Ethernet, or MPI/PROFIBUS cable). Verify the correct communication channel and baud rate are configured in the transfer settings.
Error 3000: Project compilation failed due to inconsistent tag or screen configuration
Review the validation output in the compiler log. Correct any duplicate tag names, missing connections, or invalid screen references before recompiling.
Error 4000: HMI device type mismatch — project configured for a different panel type than the connected device
Verify the target device type in the project settings matches the physical HMI panel. Adjust the device type or create a new project for the correct panel.
Error 5000: Transfer aborted — insufficient memory on the target HMI device
Reduce project size by removing unused screens, images, or fonts. Alternatively, use a target device with greater internal memory capacity.
Error 6000: Runtime version incompatibility between the engineering project and the HMI panel firmware
Update the HMI panel firmware to a version compatible with WinCC flexible 2008, or adjust the project runtime version setting to match the installed panel firmware.
Error 7000: Database error during project save or backup operation
Ensure sufficient disk space is available on the engineering PC. Close and reopen the project, or restore from a previous backup if the project file is corrupted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI panels including Micro Panels, OP/TP operator panels, Mobile Panels, and Multi Panels. It does not support the newer Comfort Panel series, which requires WinCC (TIA Portal).

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with Windows 10?

WinCC flexible 2008 was designed for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It is not officially supported on Windows 10, and installation on Windows 10 may result in compatibility issues.

Can WinCC flexible 2008 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?

Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible projects. However, manual rework is typically required after migration due to differences in functionality and device support.

Does this license support project simulation without a physical HMI panel?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 includes an integrated simulation function that allows HMI projects to be tested on the engineering PC without requiring a connected panel.

What communication interfaces can be configured using WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports configuration of PROFIBUS DP, MPI, PROFINET IO, and Ethernet-based communication links to SIMATIC S7 PLCs and third-party controllers.

Troubleshooting

Software fails to start and displays a license error

Open the Automation License Manager to check whether a valid WinCC flexible 2008 license is present and not expired or corrupted.

Transfer a valid license from the original license medium using the Automation License Manager. If the license is lost, contact Siemens for license recovery procedures.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails repeatedly

Check the transfer channel settings in WinCC flexible and verify the physical cable connection. Test with a different USB or Ethernet cable to rule out hardware faults.

Ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode, the correct interface is selected in the software, and any firewall or antivirus software on the PC is not blocking the transfer process.

Compiled project generates multiple validation errors

Review the compiler output window for specific error messages referencing tags, screens, or connections. Identify duplicate or missing tag definitions.

Correct all flagged issues in the tag editor and screen editor, then recompile the project. Use the cross-reference function to locate all instances of problematic tags.

HMI panel displays incorrect or outdated screen content after transfer

Confirm that the full project was transferred and not just a partial update. Check the transfer log for any warnings about skipped components.

Perform a complete project transfer including all screens, tags, and runtime files. Reset the HMI panel to factory defaults if residual data from a previous project is causing conflicts.

WinCC flexible 2008 crashes during project editing on Windows 7

Check the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs related to the WinCC flexible process. Verify that all recommended Siemens patches and service packs for WinCC flexible 2008 are installed.

Install the latest WinCC flexible 2008 service pack available from Siemens Industry Online Support. Ensure the PC meets the minimum hardware requirements and that no conflicting software is installed.
