Custom Web Control
About Machine Hour Counter Card
The Machine Hour Counter Card is a high-performance Custom Web Control designed for industrial SCADA and HMI environments. It provides a centralized, visually intuitive interface for tracking equipment runtime, allowing operators to monitor accumulated hours directly from PLC DINT values while maintaining clear equipment identification through customizable titles and icons.
Key Features
- Dynamic Visual Feedback: Features an animated gradient glow on the card borders triggered by the isRunning boolean property, providing instant visual confirmation of active equipment.
- Integrated Reset Logic: Includes a dedicated reset button with a customizable resetButtonLabel, firing the OnReset event to clear PLC counters safely.
- Dual Theme Support: Built-in darkMode toggle allows the control to adapt seamlessly between industrial dark mode and high-contrast light mode environments.
- Maintenance Context: A dedicated comment field allows for the display of maintenance notes or status updates directly on the card.
Customization
Engineers can fully tailor the control via 8 bindable properties. You can define the backgroundColor to match corporate standards, select specific equipment symbols via the iconType enum, and programmatically trigger logic using the triggerReset method. All properties are designed for direct binding to TIA Portal or WinCC V8 tags without additional scripting.
Use Cases
- Preventive Maintenance: Tracking runtime hours for motors, pumps, and compressors to schedule service intervals.
- Production Analytics: Monitoring active machine time versus idle time across a production line.
- Facility Management: Visualizing operational hours for HVAC systems and auxiliary power units.
Compatibility
This control is fully compatible with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. It supports standard web technologies for smooth performance on both PC-based stations and Unified Comfort Panels.
💡 TIA Portal Reminder: To ensure the reset functionality works correctly, remember to uncheck the "Read only" option in TIA Portal when linking a tag to the hours or reset properties. This allows the Custom Web Control to write values back to the HMI tags and PLC.
