Custom Web Control

About Generic Gauge

The Generic Gauge is a highly versatile Custom Web Control (CWC) designed for professional industrial visualization in WinCC Unified and WinCC V8. This control provides a high-performance analog representation of process data, allowing engineers to create precise, branded, and functional instrumentation directly within the TIA Portal environment.

Key Features

• Dynamic Scale Management: Fully adjustable scale range via minScale and maxScale, with customizable start and end points using minAngle and maxAngle.
• Visual Setpoints and Limits: Integrated markers for setpointValue and limitValue with dedicated visibility toggles (setpointVisible, limitVisible) to highlight operational targets and safety thresholds.
• Advanced Typography: Independent font control for the process value, unit, label, and scale numbers, including customizable fontFamily and fontSize for every text element.
• Flexible Orientation: Support for both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation to suit specific mechanical or process requirements.
• Event-Driven Logic: Features a built-in LimitExceeded event to trigger HMI scripts or alarms when the process value surpasses the defined threshold.

Customization

The Generic Gauge offers 40 configurable properties for granular control. Engineers can modify the thickness and length of ticks (tickWidth, tickLength) and major divisions (splitLineWidth, splitLineLength). Precise layout is achieved through radial padding properties, allowing you to position the process value, unit, label, and scale numbers exactly where needed relative to the center of the gauge. Colors for all elements, including the background, scale, and markers, are fully bindable to PLC tags for dynamic state-based styling.

Use Cases

This control is ideal for monitoring pressure, temperature, motor speed, or tank levels in demanding industrial sectors such as manufacturing, water treatment, and energy management.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. The control supports bidirectional data binding and includes a resetScales method for runtime adjustments.

💡 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.
