Custom Web Control

About Input Output Field

The Input Output Field is a professional-grade Custom Web Control (CWC) designed to bridge the gap between complex data entry and high-visibility process monitoring. Engineered for seamless integration within industrial SCADA environments, this control provides a clean, responsive interface for operators to interact with PLC tags. It features built-in support for engineering units and descriptive labels, ensuring that data is always presented with the necessary context for safe and efficient operations.

Key Features

• Dynamic Data Interaction: Utilize the ValueChanged event to trigger logic immediately upon user confirmation, while FocusGained and FocusLost events allow for sophisticated UI behavior based on user interaction.
• Programmatic Control: Developers can leverage built-in methods such as setValue, focusInput, and clearInput to automate the interface from external scripts.
• Flexible Modes: Switch between active data entry and secure monitoring using the readOnly property, making it suitable for both control and display-only dashboards.

Customization

The Input Output Field offers 11 bindable properties for deep HMI integration. Engineers can perfectly match their corporate design standards by adjusting the backgroundColor, textColor, and labelColor. The focusColor property ensures high visibility during data entry, while the unit and placeholder properties enhance the user experience by providing clear instructions and measurement context.

Use Cases

This control is ideal for setpoint entry in PID loops, entering batch parameters, or displaying real-time sensor data such as temperature, pressure, and flow rates. Its compact design makes it perfect for high-density overview screens and detailed equipment faceplates.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8, ensuring a consistent operator experience across different SIEMENS SCADA platforms.
