€ 276,00
The Siemens 6AV6381-2CA07-5AK3 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2007 Compact, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. WinCC flexible is a PC-based HMI configuration and runtime software platform used to create visualization projects for Siemens HMI panels and operator interfaces. This specific part number corresponds to the Compact edition of WinCC flexible 2007, which is designed for configuring smaller-scale HMI applications on panels such as the OP/TP 170, TP 177, and similar Siemens Micro and Compact panel families.
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact provides an engineering environment for designing screens, alarms, tags, recipes, and trend displays for compatible HMI hardware. The software integrates with the Siemens SIMATIC engineering ecosystem and supports communication with S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet interfaces. The Compact edition supports a limited tag count and screen number compared to the Standard and Advanced editions, making it suitable for straightforward HMI projects. The software runs on Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems and includes a simulator for offline project testing without physical hardware.
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact is typically used in small to medium manufacturing cells, packaging machinery, material handling equipment, and process control panels where a cost-effective HMI engineering tool is required. It is well suited for OEMs and system integrators building machines with Siemens Micro and Compact panel hardware. The software's tight integration with STEP 7 and the broader SIMATIC environment simplifies project engineering and reduces commissioning time in industrial automation applications.

Common Error Codes & System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- Project file could not be opened or is corrupted
Verify the project file integrity, restore from backup, or recreate the project. Ensure the correct WinCC flexible version is installed. - Event ID: 1010
- License not found or license key invalid
Check that the software license dongle (USB or SIM key) is properly connected. Verify the license using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). - Event ID: 1020
- Communication connection to HMI panel failed during transfer
Check the physical cable connection between the PC and HMI panel. Verify the correct communication interface and transfer settings are configured in the project. - Event ID: 1030
- Tag limit exceeded for Compact edition
Reduce the number of configured tags to within the Compact edition limit, or upgrade the license to WinCC flexible Standard or Advanced edition. - Event ID: 1040
- Incompatible HMI device type selected for project
Verify the target HMI panel type matches the device selected during project creation. Migrate the project to the correct device type if necessary. - Event ID: 1050
- Runtime simulation error — project could not be started in simulator
Check for missing or misconfigured tags and screens. Ensure all referenced connections and data types are valid before launching the simulator. - Event ID: 1060
- Operating system compatibility error
Verify that the PC operating system meets the minimum requirements (Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista). Reinstall the software if the issue persists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports Siemens Micro Panels and Compact Panels, including the OP 73, TP 170, OP 170, TP 177, and OP 177 series. It does not support Multi Panels or PC-based runtime systems, which require the Standard or Advanced edition.
What PLCs can be configured for communication in WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
The software supports communication with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet (TCP/IP) interfaces. Third-party PLC drivers may be limited compared to higher editions.
Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
Yes, WinCC flexible 2007 requires a valid Siemens software license managed through the Automation License Manager (ALM). The license is typically tied to a USB dongle or a license key file.
Can WinCC flexible 2007 projects be migrated to TIA Portal?
Yes, Siemens provides a migration tool within TIA Portal that can import WinCC flexible projects. However, manual adjustments are typically required after migration due to differences in functionality between the platforms.
What operating systems are compatible with WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact is compatible with Windows XP (SP2 or later) and Windows Vista. It is not officially supported on Windows 7 or later without additional compatibility measures.
Troubleshooting
Software fails to start after installation and displays a license error
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether a valid license for WinCC flexible 2007 Compact is present and active.
Connect the USB license dongle if not already attached, or transfer the license to the engineering PC using the ALM. If the license is missing, contact Siemens for license recovery.
Project transfer to HMI panel fails with a connection error
Check the physical cable between the PC and the HMI panel. Verify the transfer settings in WinCC flexible match the panel's configured interface (MPI address, baud rate, or Ethernet IP address).
Correct the communication parameters in the transfer dialog, replace the cable if faulty, and ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode before initiating the download.
Configured tags are not updating during runtime simulation
Check that the tag connections reference valid PLC data areas and that the correct communication driver is selected. Verify that tag addresses are within the supported range for the Compact edition.
Correct any invalid tag addresses, ensure the communication driver is properly configured, and restart the simulation. If tag limits are exceeded, reduce the tag count or upgrade the license edition.
WinCC flexible 2007 installation fails on the PC
Verify that the PC meets the minimum hardware and operating system requirements. Check for conflicting software or previously installed WinCC flexible versions that may interfere with the installation.
Uninstall any previous WinCC flexible versions using the Siemens uninstall tool, ensure the OS is Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista, and re-run the installation with administrator privileges.
Alarm displays in the project do not show alarm texts correctly on the HMI panel
Check the alarm configuration in WinCC flexible for missing or incorrectly assigned alarm text entries. Verify that the correct language is set as the active runtime language.
Review and correct all alarm text entries in the alarm editor, ensure the active language matches the panel's configured runtime language, and retransfer the project to the HMI panel.
