Custom Web Control
About Time Center
Time Center is a professional-grade Custom Web Control (CWC) engineered for Siemens WinCC Unified and WinCC V8 environments. It provides a centralized hub for all time-sensitive operations, integrating a high-precision real-time clock, a versatile stopwatch with lap tracking capabilities, and a robust countdown timer. This control streamlines scheduling and monitoring by offering a unified interface for alarm management and notification handling within industrial HMI screens.
Key Features
- Precision Timing: Features an integrated stopwatch and countdown timer with high-resolution tracking.
- Advanced Alarm Management: Supports recurring daily alarms with configurable audio resource assignments for critical notifications.
- Dynamic Interaction: Includes events like AlarmTriggered, TimerFinished, and StopwatchLapped to trigger external logic or PLC actions.
- Remote Control: Provides methods such as StartStopwatch, StopStopwatch, ResetStopwatch, and DismissAlert for automation-driven control.
Customization
The Time Center is fully adaptable to internationalized projects with 13 configurable properties. Engineers can adjust the timezoneOffset for global synchronization and localize the entire UI using properties like tabClockText, tabStopwatchText, tabTimerText, and tabAlarmsText. Button labels such as btnStartText, btnStopText, and btnLapText can be tailored to match corporate standards, while alarmTitleText and timerFinishedText ensure that operators receive clear, contextual alerts.
Use Cases
Ideal for batch process timing, maintenance interval tracking, shift change notifications, and lab environment monitoring where precise duration logging and scheduling are essential for operational efficiency.
Compatibility
Works with WinCC Unified (TIA Portal) and WinCC V8. Includes full support for property binding to HMI and PLC tags.
💡 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.
