Custom Web Control

About Futuristic Bar Chart

The Futuristic Bar Chart is a high-performance Custom Web Control (CWC) engineered for modern industrial SCADA and HMI environments. Designed specifically for monitoring system load metrics and critical process variables, this control features three wide, animated data bars that provide immediate visual feedback. It seamlessly integrates into your automation project, allowing for real-time data visualization with a high-tech aesthetic.

Key Features

• Dynamic Visualizations: Three wide data bars with smooth animations and customizable color gradients for clear status identification.
• Advanced Overlays: Optional CRT-style scanlines and decorative background grids to enhance the futuristic interface design.
• Interactive Elements: Built-in event handling via the BarClicked event, allowing operators to trigger specific actions or navigate to detailed views.
• Programmatic Control: Includes the refreshChart method to ensure the UI remains synchronized with complex logic sequences.

Customization

The control offers 6 specialized properties for deep integration. You can define the backgroundColor to match your corporate design, set a custom title for clear identification, and manage the bars array for precise data mapping. Additionally, the maxValue property allows you to scale the Y-axis dynamically, while showGrid and showScanlines provide toggleable visual enhancements.

Use Cases

This control is ideal for high-tech manufacturing dashboards, server room load monitoring, energy consumption tracking, and any application where a modern, high-visibility interface is required to represent three primary metrics simultaneously.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. The control is optimized for industrial hardware and supports standard web technologies for smooth performance across different HMI panels and PC stations.

💡 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.
