Custom Web Controls Tetris Installation Guide


This guide provides instructions on how to install Custom Web Controls for a TIA Portal project, enabling the addition of freely-programmable web controls that extend beyond the functionalities offered by the default toolbox.

Prerequisites

  • A project has been created in TIA Portal.
  • An HMI device has been added to the project.
  • At least one screen has been created for the HMI device.

Installation Steps

  1. Open Project Directory: Navigate to the directory where your TIA Portal project is stored.

  2. Access UserFiles: Open the UserFiles subfolder within the project directory.

  3. Create CustomControls Folder: Within the UserFiles subfolder, create a new folder named CustomControls.

  4. Add Control File: Store the custom web control 🔵 {4E4FE6DA-82F7-4B2A-9C67-4432F6BEE3DE}.zip file in the CustomControls folder.

  5. Update Toolbox in TIA Portal:

    • Open TIA Portal.
    • Navigate to the Toolbox > My Controls task card.
    • Click on the Update button. Your Custom Web Control will now be displayed in the task card.
  6. Use the Control:

    • Drag the Custom Web Control from the Toolbox > My Controls task card onto your screen.
    • Select the Control to configure it.
  7. Configure Events:

    • In the Inspector window, navigate to Properties > Events.
    • Configure system functions or scripts for the events used in the Control.
  8. Set Interface Properties:

    • Go to Properties > Properties > Interface in the Inspector window.
    • Assign static values for the interface properties or dynamize them according to your requirements.
    • Note: By default, the Control's access to tags is "Read only". If you want the Control to modify tag values, you need to uncheck this option.
  9. Compile and Load:

    • Compile and load the Runtime project to your HMI device.

Development Environment

  • TIA PORTAL V17 update 01
