€ 439,00
The Siemens 6AV6381-2CB07-5AK3 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, including the OP, TP, MP, and Mobile Panel series. This specific SKU represents the Compact edition of the 2007 release, designed for configuring smaller-scale HMI applications.
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports configuration of basic to mid-range Siemens HMI devices, including Micro Panels, OP 73, TP 177, and similar panel families. The software runs on standard Windows-based engineering PCs and integrates with the Siemens SIMATIC engineering environment, supporting direct connection to S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via MPI, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet interfaces. It provides tag management, alarm logging, trend displays, recipe management, and multi-language project support. The Compact edition supports a limited number of process tags and screens compared to the Standard and Advanced editions.
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact is typically used in small to medium-sized machine automation projects where a cost-effective HMI engineering tool is required. It is well suited for OEMs and machine builders working with Siemens SIMATIC HMI hardware in industries such as packaging, material handling, food and beverage processing, and general manufacturing. The software enables engineers to develop, simulate, and download HMI projects directly to compatible Siemens panel hardware.

Common Error Codes and System Events
- Event ID: 1000001
- License not found or invalid license key detected during software startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Reinstall the license if necessary. - Event ID: 1000010
- Communication error between WinCC flexible engineering station and HMI panel during project download
Check the physical connection cable and interface settings. Verify the correct communication driver and port settings are configured in the project transfer dialog. - Event ID: 1000020
- Project compilation error due to invalid or missing tag references
Open the project in WinCC flexible, navigate to the compiler output window, and resolve all flagged tag or screen reference errors before retrying compilation. - Event ID: 1000030
- HMI device type mismatch — project configured for a different panel type than the connected device
Verify the target HMI device type in the project settings matches the physical hardware. Adjust the device type in the project properties if required. - Event ID: 1000040
- Runtime simulation failure on engineering PC due to missing runtime components
Reinstall WinCC flexible 2007 Compact ensuring all runtime simulation components are selected during installation. - Event ID: 1000050
- Insufficient user permissions to access or modify the WinCC flexible project database
Ensure the Windows user account has sufficient administrative rights. Run the WinCC flexible application with elevated privileges if required. - Event ID: 1000060
- Transfer aborted — HMI panel storage memory insufficient to accept the downloaded project
Delete unused projects or data from the HMI panel memory before retrying the project transfer. Reduce project size if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Siemens HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports configuration of Siemens Micro Panels, OP 73, TP 177, OP 177, and MP 177 series panels. It does not support the full range of Multi Panels or PC-based runtime systems, which require the Standard or Advanced edition.
Is WinCC flexible 2007 Compact compatible with STEP 7 and SIMATIC Manager?
Yes, WinCC flexible 2007 Compact can be integrated with SIMATIC Manager and STEP 7, allowing HMI projects to be embedded directly within a STEP 7 project for unified engineering.
What operating systems are supported for installing WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?
WinCC flexible 2007 Compact is supported on Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista (32-bit editions). It is not natively compatible with Windows 7 or later without additional compatibility measures.
Can WinCC flexible 2007 Compact communicate with S7-1200 or S7-1500 PLCs?
No, WinCC flexible 2007 Compact does not natively support S7-1200 or S7-1500 PLCs. Those controllers require TIA Portal with WinCC Basic or higher for HMI configuration.
What is the difference between WinCC flexible Compact, Standard, and Advanced editions?
The Compact edition supports a limited number of tags and screens and is restricted to smaller panel families. The Standard edition adds support for more panel types and higher tag counts, while the Advanced edition supports the full range of SIMATIC HMI hardware including Multi Panels and PC-based runtime systems.
Troubleshooting
WinCC flexible 2007 fails to start 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 on the local machine or license dongle.
If the license is missing or expired, reinstall the license using the original license media or transfer a valid license from another machine using the ALM tool. Ensure the hardware dongle is connected if a dongle-based license is used.
Project download to HMI panel fails or times out
Check the transfer cable connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel. Verify the communication interface settings in the WinCC flexible Transfer dialog match the panel configuration (e.g., correct COM port, baud rate, or Ethernet IP address).
Replace the transfer cable if damaged. Correct the interface settings in the Transfer dialog. Ensure the HMI panel is in Transfer mode before initiating the download from the engineering PC.
Compiled project reports errors related to undefined tags or missing connections
Review the compiler output log in WinCC flexible for specific tag names or screen references flagged as invalid. Cross-check the tag table against the PLC variable table to identify mismatches.
Correct all invalid tag references in the tag table and re-link any broken PLC connections. Recompile the project after resolving all flagged errors.
PC-based runtime simulation crashes or does not start
Verify that all WinCC flexible runtime simulation components were installed during the software setup. Check the Windows Event Viewer for application error logs related to the simulation process.
Perform a repair installation of WinCC flexible 2007 Compact via the Windows Control Panel to restore any missing simulation components. Ensure the engineering PC meets the minimum hardware requirements.
WinCC flexible software installation fails on the engineering PC
Check that the target PC is running a supported 32-bit Windows operating system (Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista 32-bit). Confirm that no conflicting versions of WinCC flexible or STEP 7 are partially installed.
Uninstall any conflicting software components using the Siemens SIMATIC Uninstall tool. Perform a clean installation of WinCC flexible 2007 Compact on a supported operating system with administrator privileges.
