Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2CB07-5AX4 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 to run on a standard engineering PC and delivers a project-based workflow for creating HMI visualization applications.

WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports configuration of smaller HMI devices and includes tools for screen editing, tag management, alarm configuration, recipe handling, and report generation. The software integrates with the SIMATIC Manager and Step 7 environment, enabling consistent data exchange between PLC and HMI projects. It supports communication via MPI, PROFIBUS DP, and Ethernet interfaces depending on the target HMI device. The Compact edition is suited for projects with a limited number of process tags and screens, making it appropriate for smaller machine-level applications.

This software is used across a wide range of industries including manufacturing, food and beverage, packaging, and machine building where Siemens HMI panels are deployed for local operator control. It is particularly common in OEM machine applications where standardized Siemens HMI hardware such as the TP177, OP177, or MP277 panels are used. The engineering environment allows technicians and system integrators to develop, simulate, and transfer HMI projects without requiring a live PLC connection during the design phase.

Common Error Codes and Software Events

Error 1920: License not found or license server unreachable during software startup
Verify that the SIMATIC software license (Automation License Manager) is correctly installed and that the license key is present on the local drive or dongle. Run the Automation License Manager to check license status.
Error 1935: Assembly component installation failure during WinCC flexible setup
Ensure Microsoft .NET Framework prerequisites are installed. Run the installer as Administrator and disable antivirus software temporarily during installation.
Runtime Transfer Error: Project transfer to HMI panel fails during download
Check the communication cable connection (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet). Verify the correct communication interface and baud rate are configured in the transfer settings. Ensure the HMI panel is in transfer mode.
Compilation Error: Project compilation fails due to inconsistent tag or screen references
Review the validation output in the compiler log. Correct any missing tag connections, undefined screen references, or duplicate object names before recompiling.
Simulation Abort: Integrated simulator terminates unexpectedly during project simulation
Check that the PC meets minimum system requirements. Close other resource-intensive applications. Reinstall WinCC flexible if the issue persists after verifying system resources.
Connection Error: No communication established between engineering PC and HMI panel
Verify the PC adapter (e.g., PC Adapter USB or CP5611) is correctly installed and configured. Check cable integrity and confirm the MPI or PROFIBUS address settings match between the project and the physical device.
License Downgrade Warning: Installed license does not cover all features used in the current project
Upgrade the WinCC flexible license edition (e.g., from Compact to Standard or Advanced) using the Automation License Manager, or reduce the project scope to match the Compact edition limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2007 Compact?

WinCC flexible 2007 Compact supports the configuration of smaller SIMATIC HMI devices including the TP177, OP177, TP270, and OP270 series panels. Larger panels such as the MP277 and MP377 typically require the Standard or Advanced edition.

Is WinCC flexible 2007 compatible with Windows 10?

WinCC flexible 2007 was designed for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It is not officially supported on Windows 10, and compatibility issues are commonly reported. For Windows 10 environments, Siemens recommends migrating to WinCC flexible 2008 or TIA Portal with WinCC.

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 object handling and communication configuration.

Does this software include a runtime license for the HMI panel?

No, the 6AV6381-2CB07-5AX4 is an engineering software license for the PC-based configuration tool only. Runtime licenses for HMI panels are embedded in the panel hardware and are not part of this package.

What communication hardware is required to transfer projects to an HMI panel?

A PC adapter such as the Siemens PC Adapter USB (6ES7972-0CB20-0XA0) or a CP5611 communications processor is required for MPI or PROFIBUS connections. For Ethernet-capable panels, a standard network interface card is sufficient.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2007 fails to install and displays an error during setup

Check the Windows Event Viewer for installation error details. Confirm that all prerequisites including Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and MDAC are installed and that the user account has local Administrator privileges.

Install all required prerequisites listed in the WinCC flexible 2007 readme file. Disable User Account Control (UAC) and antivirus software during installation. Run setup.exe directly from the DVD or extracted folder as Administrator.

Project transfer to HMI panel fails with a timeout or connection error

Verify the physical connection between the PC and the HMI panel. Check that the correct communication interface (MPI, PROFIBUS, or Ethernet) is selected in the transfer dialog and that the baud rate and station address match the panel configuration.

Replace or reseat the communication cable. Reconfigure the PC adapter settings in the Automation Communication Manager. Place the HMI panel manually into transfer mode via its Start Center or loader menu before initiating the transfer.

Automation License Manager reports no valid license found after installation

Open the Automation License Manager and check whether the license key is listed under the correct drive. Confirm the USB dongle is connected if a hardware-based license is used, or verify that the software license was correctly transferred to the local hard drive.

Use the Automation License Manager to transfer or repair the license. If the license was lost due to a hard drive failure, contact Siemens technical support with proof of purchase to request a license recovery.

WinCC flexible project compiles with errors referencing missing tags or screens

Review the compiler output window for specific object names and screen references that are flagged. Cross-check the tag table for deleted or renamed tags that may still be referenced in screen objects or alarm configurations.

Update or remove all invalid references identified in the compiler log. Use the cross-reference function in WinCC flexible to locate all usages of a specific tag or screen before renaming or deleting objects.

Integrated simulator crashes or does not reflect the correct project behavior

Check that the PC has sufficient RAM (minimum 512 MB recommended) and that no conflicting SIMATIC software versions are installed. Verify that the project compiles without errors before launching the simulator.

Ensure the project is fully compiled and error-free. Update WinCC flexible 2007 to the latest service pack available from the Siemens Industry Online Support portal. If crashes persist, reinstall the software on a clean Windows 7 environment.
