Custom Web Control

About Online Weather Widget

The Online Weather Widget is a professional-grade Custom Web Control (CWC) designed to integrate live meteorological data directly into your industrial SCADA and HMI environments. By leveraging the OpenWeatherMap API, this control provides operators with high-fidelity weather insights, ensuring that external environmental conditions are factored into operational decision-making.

Key Features

• Live API Integration: Seamlessly connects to global weather services using the openWeatherMapApiKey property.
• Dynamic Updates: Automatically polls data based on the updateIntervalMinutes or triggers manual fetches via the refreshWeather and refresh methods.
• Event-Driven Logic: Features built-in events such as WeatherDataUpdated for successful syncs and ApiError for robust diagnostic handling.
• Visual Versatility: Supports a dedicated darkMode toggle and customizable backgroundColor to match any industrial HMI theme.

Customization

This control offers 11 highly configurable properties. Engineers can define precise locations using latitude and longitude, or update them dynamically at runtime via the setCoordinates method. All display text, including labelWind, labelHumidity, labelPressure, labelVisibility, and labelForecast, can be localized or adjusted to fit specific corporate standards.

Use Cases

• Renewable Energy: Monitoring wind and visibility conditions for turbine and solar farm management.
• Logistics and Infrastructure: Adjusting outdoor facility operations based on incoming weather patterns.
• Building Automation: Integrating atmospheric pressure and humidity data into HVAC control strategies.

Compatibility

Fully optimized for WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. The widget is ready for deployment on both PC-based stations and Unified Comfort Panels, requiring zero additional coding for basic property binding.
