Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2CB07-5AX3 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 commission 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 and includes tools for screen editing, tag management, alarm configuration, and recipe handling. The software integrates with the Siemens SIMATIC environment and supports communication with S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs via standard SIMATIC protocols. It provides a structured project tree, library functions, and simulation capabilities for offline testing of HMI projects prior to download.

This software is used in machine building, process automation, and factory automation environments where Siemens HMI panels are deployed. It is particularly suited for small to mid-scale machine applications requiring a straightforward engineering tool for panel configuration. Industries such as packaging, material handling, food and beverage, and general manufacturing commonly use WinCC flexible 2007 Compact for commissioning and maintaining their HMI installations.

Common Error Codes and Software Events

Error 1920: License not found or license server not reachable during software startup
Verify that the license key (dongle or software license) is correctly installed. Use Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM) to check license status and transfer if necessary.
Error 1722: Installation error: Windows Installer package problem during WinCC flexible setup
Ensure the installation is run with administrator privileges. Check that all prerequisite software components (e.g., .NET Framework, SIMATIC Common) are installed before retrying.
Compiler Error: Project compilation fails due to inconsistent tag references or missing device configuration
Review the project for unresolved tag references or missing PLC connections. Correct all highlighted errors in the compiler output window before retrying the download.
Communication Error: No connection established between engineering PC and HMI panel during project download
Check the physical connection (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet cable). Verify the correct communication interface is selected in the transfer settings and that the HMI panel is in transfer mode.
Version Conflict: Project was created in a newer version of WinCC flexible than the installed software version
Upgrade the WinCC flexible software to the required version, or open the project on a PC with the correct version installed. Downgrading projects is not supported.
Device Not Supported: Selected HMI device type is not supported by the installed WinCC flexible edition (Compact)
Verify that the target HMI panel is within the supported device range for WinCC flexible Compact. Upgrade to WinCC flexible Standard or Advanced if a higher-class device is required.
License Expired: Time-limited or trial license has expired, preventing project editing or download
Obtain and install a valid permanent license via the Siemens Automation License Manager. Contact Siemens or an authorized distributor for license procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HMI devices can be configured with WinCC flexible 2007 Compact (6AV6381-2CB07-5AX3)?

WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports configuration of smaller SIMATIC HMI panels within the Compact device range, including selected OP and TP series panels. For larger or more advanced panels such as the MP series, the Standard or Advanced edition is required.

Which PLCs are compatible with projects created in WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?

Projects can be configured for communication with Siemens S7-200, S7-300, and S7-400 PLCs using SIMATIC protocols including MPI and PROFIBUS DP. Ethernet-based communication is also supported depending on the target HMI device.

Is a hardware dongle required to run WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?

The license for this software is managed through the Siemens Automation License Manager (ALM). Depending on the license type supplied, it may be stored on a USB dongle or as a software-based license on the engineering PC.

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 and device support between the two platforms.

Does WinCC flexible 2007 Compact include an offline simulation function?

Yes, the software includes an integrated simulator that allows HMI projects to be tested on the engineering PC without requiring a physical HMI panel or PLC connection.

Troubleshooting

Software 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 not expired or damaged.

Transfer a valid license to the engineering PC using ALM. If the license is stored on a USB dongle, ensure the dongle is connected before launching the software.

Project download to HMI panel fails with a communication error

Check the physical cable connection between the PC and the HMI panel. Confirm the correct communication port and protocol are selected in the WinCC flexible transfer settings, and verify the panel is set to transfer mode.

Replace or reseat the communication cable, select the correct interface (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet) in the transfer dialog, and ensure the HMI panel displays the transfer screen before initiating the download.

Compilation errors appear when building the HMI project

Review the compiler output window for specific error messages. Common causes include unresolved tag references, missing PLC variable connections, or unsupported functions for the selected device type.

Correct all flagged errors in the project editor, ensure all tags are mapped to valid PLC variables, and confirm that the configured functions are supported by the target HMI device within the Compact edition.

WinCC flexible 2007 cannot be installed on the engineering PC

Check that the PC meets the minimum system requirements for the software version, including the correct Windows OS version and available disk space. Verify that prerequisite components such as SIMATIC Common and the correct .NET Framework version are installed.

Install all required prerequisite software before running the WinCC flexible installer. Run the installation as a local administrator and disable antivirus software temporarily if the installer is being blocked.

Existing project cannot be opened and shows a version conflict warning

The project was saved with a newer version of WinCC flexible than the currently installed software. WinCC flexible does not support opening projects from newer versions in older software releases.

Install the required version of WinCC flexible that matches or exceeds the version used to create the project, or obtain the project file from the original creator saved in a compatible version.
