Dashboard Kit
The Dashboard Kit is the ultimate visualization package for WinCC Unified developers. This comprehensive bundle brings together our three most powerful charting components—Line Chart, Bar Chart, and Pie/Doughnut Chart—providing everything you need to build professional, high-performance industrial dashboards.
By combining these essential visualization tools, the Dashboard Kit enables you to represent any type of process data, from real-time trends and historical comparisons to proportional distributions and KPIs.
Included Components
1. Line Chart
Perfect for continuous data visualization and trend analysis.
- Real-time process value tracking
- Historical data visualization
- Smooth animations and high-performance rendering
- Fully customizable axis and grid colors
2. Bar Chart
Ideal for comparing discrete data points and tracking metrics over time.
- Categorical data comparison
- Production output tracking
- Shift-based performance analysis
- Dynamic color coding based on status or alarms
3. Pie/Doughnut Chart
Professional circular charts for visualizing proportional data distribution.
- Proportional resource allocation
- Production mix monitoring
- KPI visualization with center text in doughnut mode
- Automatic percentage calculation and display
Key Benefits

Implementation Guide
The Dashboard Kit components follow a consistent implementation pattern in WinCC Unified. For detailed documentation on each component, please refer to their individual documentation pages.
General Configuration Pattern
- Drop the Component: Drag the desired chart from your library onto a WinCC Unified screen.
- Configure Basic Properties: Set Title, Colors, and Background styles in the property inspector.
- Bind Data via Scripts: Use WinCC Unified screen scripts to update the component's data and labels arrays from your PLC tags or historical logs.
Example: Multi-Chart Dashboard
A typical production dashboard might utilize all three components:
- Bar Chart: To show total production output per shift.
- Line Chart: To monitor real-time temperature or pressure trends.
- Pie Chart: To visualize the ratio of "Good" vs. "Scrap" parts produced.
