Component Specifications

Definition
The Step Properties Panel is a software interface component within the Procedure Step Editor of industrial control systems, designed to allow operators and engineers to define, modify, and validate parameters for individual steps in automated manufacturing or processing sequences. It provides real-time feedback, validation rules, and integration with machine control logic.
Working Principle
Operates as a graphical user interface (GUI) element that communicates with backend control systems via industrial protocols (e.g., OPC UA, Modbus TCP). It displays editable fields for step parameters (e.g., time, temperature, pressure), validates inputs against predefined constraints, and updates the machine's control logic accordingly upon user confirmation.
Materials
Software component; typically developed using industrial HMI frameworks (e.g., Siemens WinCC, Rockwell FactoryTalk View) with underlying code in languages like C++, C#, or Java, running on industrial PCs or embedded systems.
Technical Parameters
  • Input Method Touchscreen or Mouse/Keyboard
  • Refresh Rate 60 Hz
  • Response Time <100 ms
  • Protocol Support OPC UA, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP
  • Display Resolution 1920x1080 (Full HD)
  • Operating Temperature 0°C to 50°C
Standards
ISO 9241-210, IEC 61131-3, ANSI/ISA-88
