Dynamic SVG

About Cylinder with piston

The Cylinder with piston is a high-performance Dynamic SVG specifically engineered for professional industrial SCADA and HMI environments. This component offers a realistic and responsive visual representation of linear pneumatic or hydraulic actuators, allowing engineers to provide operators with clear, intuitive feedback on machine states within WinCC Unified and WinCC V8 projects.

Key Features

• Dynamic Motion: Real-time animation of the rod assembly based on numerical input.
• Internal Visualization: Integrated cutaway mode for monitoring internal piston head positions.
• Fluid State Indication: Independent coloring for front and rear ports to represent pressure or flow.
• High Fidelity: Vector-based SVG ensures crisp rendering at any zoom level on industrial panels.

Customization

This control offers 7 distinct properties for deep integration into your automation logic. Use BasicColor to define the barrel appearance and CapColor to style the rear-cap, front-cap, and rod-end. The PistonStroke property allows for precise mapping of PLC position data to the visual extension of the rod. For advanced diagnostics, the ShowInternal toggle reveals the internal piston head and barrel mask, while PortRearColor and PortFrontColor can be dynamically updated to reflect valve states. Visual depth can be further enhanced using the ShowShadow property.

Use Cases

Perfectly suited for automated assembly lines, hydraulic press monitoring, pneumatic sorting systems, and heavy machinery dashboards where real-time mechanical feedback and internal component visibility are critical for operational safety.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with WinCC Unified and WinCC V8. Simply import the SVG into your graphics library and bind the properties directly to your process tags.
