Custom Web Control

About 3D Electric Motor Twin

The 3D Electric Motor Twin is a high-performance Custom Web Control (CWC) designed to bring advanced digital twin capabilities to industrial HMI environments. Built on the Three.js engine, it provides a real-time, interactive 3D representation of an electric motor, allowing operators to visualize mechanical performance and thermal health directly within WinCC Unified or WinCC V8. Simply import the component into your project and bind its properties to your PLC tags for instant visualization.

Key Features

• Dynamic Animation: The motor shaft and cooling fan rotate proportional to the rpm value, featuring realistic mechanical inertia for smooth speed transitions.
• Thermal Visualization: Integrated emissive mapping reflects the temperature property, providing a visual heat map that changes as values approach the temperatureAlarmThreshold.
• Fault Simulation: The control supports an enableVibration mode to visually represent mechanical stress or misalignment during fault states.
• Interactive Inspection: Operators can use touch or pointer gestures to orbit, zoom, and inspect the motor from any angle.
• Event-Driven Logic: Fires the AlarmTriggered event for immediate SCADA notification and supports the CameraReset event for UI synchronization.

Customization

The control offers 7 bindable properties for seamless PLC integration. Engineers can customize the backgroundColor to match corporate HMI themes and define scaling dynamics using the maxRpm property. The state enum allows for distinct visual feedback based on operational modes. Additionally, the setSpeed and resetView methods enable programmatic control from HMI scripts.

Use Cases

Ideal for Motor Control Centers (MCC), predictive maintenance dashboards, and complex process mimics where spatial awareness of equipment health is critical for operator response times.

Compatibility

Works with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. Includes full documentation with installation instructions for both platforms.

💡 TIA Portal Reminder: Remember to uncheck the "Read only" option in TIA Portal when linking a tag to a property that needs to be written from the Custom Web Control. If you do not, the CWC will only be able to read the HMI tags and not write to them.
