Custom Web Control

About Palletizing Control

Palletizing Control is a Custom Web Control for WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8 that shows a top-down view of the palletizer layer being built. Placed boxes are drawn solid, pending positions dashed, and the next position is highlighted with a pulsing cyan outline. The control is a read-only display and sends no commands to the HMI.

Key Features

• Layer grid: boxesPerLayer and columns define the grid, and rows are derived automatically from the layer size.
• Box counter: a large tabular readout of boxesPlaced, labelled through boxesPlacedLabel.
• Layer stack: currentLayer and totalLayers show progress through the complete pallet.
• Detail row: Pallet ID, pallets completed, layers remaining and total boxes on pallet, bound to live values.
• Position tooltips: each box displays positionTooltipText followed by its position number.

Customization

All 25 properties are configured in the WinCC engineering environment and bound to PLC tags. Header texts such as titleText, tagText, lineName and layerChipPrefixText, along with every field label, can be adapted to your plant naming. palletCompleteText sets the chip shown when the final layer is done, and layerCompleteText replaces the next-position readout when a layer is full. palletLengthText, palletWidthText and backgroundColor complete the visual setup. The control accepts up to 64 box positions per layer, and boxesPlaced is automatically limited to that range.

Use Cases

Ideal for palletizing line supervision, end-of-line packaging screens, operator panels at palletizer cells, and overview displays that track pallet build progress.

Compatibility

Works with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8.
