Custom Web Control

About Status Lights

Status Lights is a professional-grade Custom Web Control (CWC) engineered for Siemens WinCC Unified and WinCC V8 environments. This component provides a high-fidelity digital twin of a physical multi-segment signal tower, allowing operators to visualize machine states, production cycles, and alarm conditions directly within their HMI screens.

Key Features

• Dynamic Interactivity: Capture operator intent with the SegmentClicked event for manual overrides or acknowledgments.
• Programmatic Control: Use built-in methods like setSegmentState, setSegmentColor, and setSegmentStatus to update active states and blinking animations in real-time.
• Flexible Architecture: Define an unlimited number of stack levels using the segments array property.

Customization

The control is fully adjustable to meet specific UI/UX requirements. Engineers can modify the backgroundColor, borderWidth, and borderColor to match existing HMI themes. The opacityInactive property allows for fine-tuning how dimmed segments appear when off, while showLabels provides the option to display descriptive text for each status level.

Use Cases

Ideal for visualizing machine availability (OEE), assembly line bottlenecks, safety system statuses, and material replenishment alerts in manufacturing and process automation environments.

Compatibility

Optimized for WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. This control integrates natively into the engineering environment, supporting direct tag binding and scripting.
