Custom Web Control

About Monthly Energy Bar Chart

The Monthly Energy Bar Chart is a professional Custom Web Control designed to provide high-level visibility into utility usage within industrial SCADA and HMI environments. By processing accumulated totalizer data directly from the PLC, this control automatically calculates and visualizes net monthly consumption, transforming raw data into actionable insights for energy management.

Key Features

• Automated Net Calculation: Processes the monthlyValues array to derive monthly consumption from cumulative PLC totalizers.
• Visual Threshold Alerts: Dynamically changes bar colors from normalBarColor to alertBarColor when the consumptionSetpoint is exceeded.
• Interactive Events: Features built-in event triggers like OnSetpointExceeded for automated system responses and OnBarClicked for detailed drill-down analysis.
• Smooth Animations: High-performance rendering with fluid transitions for a modern operator experience.

Customization

The control is fully adaptable to your corporate identity and process requirements. Engineers can define the backgroundColor and chartTitle to match dashboard themes, while the unitLabel ensures clarity across different utility types such as kWh, m³, or Gallons. All 7 properties are exposed for direct binding within the TIA Portal or WinCC V8 engineering environment.

Use Cases

This control is ideal for ISO 50001 energy management dashboards, factory sustainability monitoring, and utility cost tracking in manufacturing facilities. It allows operators to quickly identify peak consumption periods and efficiency deviations.

Compatibility

Fully compatible with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. The package includes comprehensive documentation for seamless integration into your existing SCADA infrastructure.

💡 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.
