About Stacked Bar Chart

The Stacked Bar Chart is a robust Custom Web Control (CWC) engineered specifically for high-stakes industrial monitoring. It transforms complex production data into clear, actionable insights by layering multiple data series into single, cohesive bars. Designed for the modern factory floor, it provides high visual contrast and an intuitive interface that allows operators to identify production bottlenecks and performance trends at a glance.

Key Features

• Multi-Series Visualization: Compare multiple metrics within a single category to understand total output versus individual component performance.
• Industrial-Grade Contrast: High-visibility color gradients ensure data remains legible in both dark-mode control rooms and bright shop floor environments.
• Instant Reporting: Built-in exportAsImage functionality allows operators to capture and download current chart views as PNG files for immediate shift reporting.
• Optimized Performance: The refreshChart method ensures the visualization remains synchronized with live PLC data without compromising HMI responsiveness.

Customization

This control offers extensive configuration options via the WinCC property interface. Engineers can define the visual environment using the backgroundColor property to match existing HMI themes. The chartTitle and yAxisTitle provide essential context for operators, while xAxisLabels accepts dynamic JSON arrays for flexible category naming. Data is managed through the series array, allowing for granular control over colors and values for every stacked layer.

Use Cases

• Production Throughput: Monitor and compare output across multiple manufacturing lines or shifts to optimize resource allocation.
• Utility Monitoring: Track total plant energy consumption broken down by specific departments or utility types like electricity, water, and compressed air.

Compatibility

The Stacked Bar Chart is fully compatible with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. It supports direct PLC tag binding, ensuring that your industrial dashboards reflect real-time process conditions with minimal latency.
