Description
Additional information

The Siemens 6AV6381-2DM08-0AH0 is a software license for WinCC flexible 2008, part of Siemens' WinCC flexible engineering software family. This product provides the runtime and configuration environment for developing and operating HMI (Human-Machine Interface) applications on Siemens panels and PC-based systems. It belongs to the SIMATIC HMI software portfolio and is used to create visualization projects for operator panels across the SIMATIC HMI range.

WinCC flexible 2008 offers a scalable engineering environment supporting a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices, from Micro Panels to Multi Panels and PC-based systems. The software includes features such as faceplates, scripts (VBScript), alarm management, trend displays, recipe management, and user administration. It supports communication via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, MPI, and Ethernet interfaces, and is compatible with SIMATIC S7-200, S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1200 PLC families. The software provides a library of pre-built objects and templates to accelerate project development.

WinCC flexible 2008 is widely used in manufacturing, process automation, machine building, and plant engineering applications. It is suitable for industries such as automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, where reliable HMI visualization and operator control are required. The software enables engineers to design consistent, scalable HMI solutions that can be deployed across multiple panel types within a single project.

Common Error Codes & System Events

Error 1920: Software license not found or license key missing during startup
Verify that the correct license key is installed using the Automation License Manager. Reinstall or transfer the license if necessary.
Error 1722: Installation error: Windows Installer package fault during WinCC flexible setup
Ensure the installer is run with administrator privileges. Check for conflicting software or corrupted installer files and re-download if needed.
Communication Error: No connection established between WinCC flexible Runtime and the connected PLC
Check physical communication cables and network settings. Verify PLC address, communication driver configuration, and firewall settings on the engineering PC.
Compiler Error: Project compilation fails due to inconsistent or missing configuration elements
Review the error log in the output window. Correct missing tag references, invalid screen objects, or unsupported functions for the target HMI device.
Runtime Startup Error: WinCC flexible Runtime fails to start on the target HMI panel
Check that the correct Runtime version is installed on the panel. Verify available memory and that the project file is not corrupted. Re-transfer the project if necessary.
License Downgrade Warning: Installed license does not cover all features used in the current project
Upgrade the WinCC flexible license to the appropriate edition (Compact, Standard, Advanced, or Comprehensive) that covers the features and number of tags used in the project.
Tag Limit Exceeded: The number of configured tags exceeds the limit permitted by the installed license
Reduce the number of tags in the project or upgrade the license to a higher tag count tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SIMATIC HMI panels are supported by WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 supports a wide range of SIMATIC HMI devices including Micro Panels (TP 170 Micro, TP 177 Micro), Mobile Panels, Operator Panels (OP 73, OP 77, TP 177, OP 177), Multi Panels (MP 277, MP 377), and Panel PCs. The specific features available depend on the target device selected in the project.

Is WinCC flexible 2008 compatible with SIMATIC S7-1200 PLCs?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 supports communication with SIMATIC S7-1200 PLCs via Ethernet/PROFINET using the appropriate communication driver. Ensure the latest service packs are installed for full S7-1200 compatibility.

What operating systems are supported for running the WinCC flexible 2008 engineering software?

WinCC flexible 2008 is compatible with Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit). It is not natively supported on 64-bit operating systems without compatibility measures.

What are the different license editions available for WinCC flexible 2008?

WinCC flexible 2008 is available in several editions: Micro, Compact, Standard, Advanced, and Comprehensive. Each edition supports a different range of HMI devices and tag counts, with higher editions unlocking additional features and larger projects.

Can multiple HMI devices be configured within a single WinCC flexible 2008 project?

Yes, WinCC flexible 2008 supports multi-device projects, allowing engineers to configure and manage multiple HMI panels within a single project file, which simplifies consistent visualization across a machine or plant.

Troubleshooting

WinCC flexible 2008 fails to install on Windows 7

Check if the operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit. Verify that all prerequisites such as .NET Framework and SIMATIC Automation Tool components are present. Review the installation log for specific error codes.

Ensure the PC runs Windows 7 32-bit with SP1. Run the installer as administrator and disable antivirus software temporarily during installation. Install all required prerequisite components listed in the setup documentation.

Project cannot be transferred to the HMI panel

Check the communication connection between the engineering PC and the HMI panel via USB or Ethernet. Verify that the transfer settings in WinCC flexible match the panel's configured IP address or USB transfer mode.

Confirm the HMI panel is in transfer mode. Check USB cable integrity or verify Ethernet IP settings on both the PC and panel. Disable Windows Firewall or create an exception for WinCC flexible during transfer.

Runtime on HMI panel shows 'No connection to PLC' message

Verify the PLC communication parameters configured in WinCC flexible match the actual PLC settings (IP address, MPI address, or PROFIBUS address). Check physical cabling between the panel and PLC.

Correct the communication parameters in the WinCC flexible project and re-transfer to the panel. Replace or reseat communication cables. Confirm the PLC is powered on and in RUN mode.

Alarm displays are not updating or showing stale data on the panel

Check the tag connections associated with alarm triggers. Verify that the PLC data blocks and addresses referenced in the alarm configuration are correct and accessible.

Update the tag addresses in the WinCC flexible alarm configuration to match the current PLC program. Recompile and re-transfer the project. Check for PLC program changes that may have shifted data block addresses.

WinCC flexible engineering software crashes or freezes during project editing

Check available RAM and disk space on the engineering PC. Large projects with many screens and tags can consume significant resources. Review Windows Event Viewer for application error logs.

Increase available RAM to at least 2 GB. Close other applications during editing. Install the latest WinCC flexible 2008 service pack from Siemens Industry Online Support to resolve known software bugs.
