About Household Energy Sankey Diagram
The Household Energy Sankey Diagram is a sophisticated Custom Web Control designed for high-end residential energy monitoring and smart building SCADA applications. This control provides a visual flow-based representation of energy consumption, tracing power from primary sources like TotalElectricity and TotalNaturalGas down to specific end-use categories such as ElectricCooling, ElectricLighting, and GasHeating. It is fully compatible with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8, allowing for seamless integration of energy data into your industrial dashboards.
Key Features
- Comprehensive Energy Mapping: Visualize the breakdown of power across major household appliances including the Refrigerator, WasherDryer, Dishwasher, Computer, and Television.
- Interactive Analytics: Respond to user input with built-in events like NodeClicked and FlowSelected, enabling drill-down capabilities for specific energy paths.
- Dynamic Control: Use the updateFlowValue and UpdateData methods to programmatically refresh the diagram based on real-time PLC values.
- Fluid Animation: Enhance the user experience with smooth transitions controlled via the AnimationEnabled property and adjustable speeds through SetAnimationSpeed.
Customization
With 28 configurable properties, the diagram can be tailored to any UI requirement. Adjust the layout using nodeWidth and nodePadding, or refine the visibility using ShowLabels, ShowValues, and FlowOpacity. Precise positioning is guaranteed with dedicated margin properties such as marginTop and marginRight to prevent label clipping on high-resolution displays.
Use Cases
Ideal for energy management dashboards, sustainability tracking panels, and smart home automation systems where clear communication of energy efficiency and consumption patterns is critical.
Compatibility
Designed for WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. Supports dynamic data binding for nodes and flows arrays directly from PLC tags.
💡 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.
