€ 306,00
The Siemens 6AV6381-2CA07-5AX3 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2007 Compact, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the engineering environment used to configure and program Siemens HMI panels, including the OP, TP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. It is designed for use on standard engineering PCs running compatible Windows operating systems.
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports project creation for a defined range of smaller HMI devices, offering a structured tag management system, alarm logging, recipe management, and graphical screen editor. The software integrates directly with the SIMATIC Manager and TIA environment for streamlined project data exchange. Communication drivers for SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs are included, along with support for MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet interfaces depending on the target HMI device.
This software is primarily used by machine builders, system integrators, and OEMs who develop HMI applications for production machinery, packaging lines, and process equipment. The Compact edition is suited for smaller-scale visualization projects where a limited number of tags and screen objects are required. Industries such as food and beverage, automotive assembly, and general manufacturing commonly deploy WinCC flexible 2007 Compact for panel programming and commissioning tasks.

Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 1000
- WinCC flexible runtime startup failure — the runtime application could not be initialized on the target HMI 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 between HMI and PLC — the configured connection cannot be established.
Verify MPI/PROFIBUS/Ethernet cable connections and network addresses. Confirm PLC is in RUN mode and that communication driver settings match the PLC configuration. - Event ID: 3010
- Tag read/write error — a configured tag cannot be accessed on the PLC.
Check the tag address in the WinCC flexible project against the actual PLC data block or memory area. Ensure the PLC program has the corresponding variable defined. - Event ID: 4000
- Recipe data error — recipe records could not be read from or written to the HMI memory.
Check available storage on the HMI device. Verify recipe configuration in the project and re-transfer the project if recipe structure has changed. - Event ID: 5000
- Alarm buffer overflow — the alarm log has exceeded its configured capacity.
Increase the alarm buffer size in the project settings or implement alarm archiving. Acknowledge and clear pending alarms on the HMI device. - Event ID: 6001
- Project transfer error — project download to the HMI panel was interrupted or failed.
Check the transfer cable or network connection between the engineering PC and HMI panel. Ensure the HMI is in transfer mode and retry the download. - Event ID: 7020
- License not found — WinCC flexible software cannot find a valid license on the engineering PC.
Run the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) to verify the license is installed and not corrupted. Re-install or transfer the license if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports a defined subset of SIMATIC HMI panels including smaller OP and TP series devices. The full list of supported panels is specified in the Siemens product documentation and depends on the Compact edition tag and object limits.
Is WinCC flexible 2007 compatible with TIA Portal projects?
WinCC flexible 2007 is not natively compatible with TIA Portal. Projects created in WinCC flexible can be migrated to TIA Portal using the migration tool provided by Siemens, but direct interoperability is not supported.
What PLCs can be connected using WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
The software supports connections to SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, or Ethernet, depending on the HMI device and communication module used.
What operating systems are supported for the engineering software installation?
WinCC flexible 2007 is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista at release, with later service packs extending support to Windows 7 32-bit. 64-bit operating systems are not supported.
Does this license include WinCC flexible Runtime?
The 6AV6381-2CA07-5AX3 is an engineering software license. Runtime licenses for HMI panels are typically embedded in the panel hardware itself; a separate PC runtime license would be required if running WinCC flexible Runtime on a standard PC.
Troubleshooting
Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel
Check the transfer connection type (USB, Ethernet, or MPI/PROFIBUS). Verify the HMI panel is set to transfer mode and that the correct interface is selected in the WinCC flexible transfer settings.
Ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode by navigating to the panel's control panel and selecting Transfer. Match the communication interface and address settings in WinCC flexible to those of the panel, then retry the transfer.
WinCC flexible software reports license not found on startup
Open the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) and check whether the license for WinCC flexible 2007 Compact is listed and shows a valid status.
If the license is missing or shows an error, reinstall it from the original license media or transfer it from another PC using the ALM tool. Ensure the license matches the installed software edition and version.
HMI panel shows communication fault to PLC after project download
Verify the PLC network address, communication protocol, and cable connections. Check that the connection parameters in the WinCC flexible project match the actual PLC configuration.
Correct any mismatched MPI addresses, PROFIBUS node numbers, or IP addresses in the project. Re-download the project to the HMI and confirm the PLC is powered and in RUN mode.
Alarms configured in the project do not appear on the HMI at runtime
Check the alarm configuration in WinCC flexible, including the trigger tag address, alarm class, and display settings. Verify the alarm view object is placed on the correct screen.
Confirm that the trigger tag addresses match valid PLC memory locations and that the alarm view is correctly configured on the HMI screen. Re-transfer the project after making corrections.
Software installation fails or crashes during setup on engineering PC
Check the PC operating system version and confirm it meets the minimum requirements for WinCC flexible 2007. Review the installation log for specific error messages.
Ensure the PC runs a supported 32-bit Windows version (XP SP3 or Windows 7 32-bit with appropriate service pack). Disable antivirus software during installation and run the installer with administrator privileges.
