Component Specifications

Definition
A Template Engine is a specialized software component within industrial automation systems that processes structured data inputs against predefined template formats to generate consistent, formatted outputs such as reports, labels, certificates, or machine-readable documents. It operates as part of the Result Output Generator machine, ensuring standardized communication across manufacturing processes.
Working Principle
The Template Engine operates on a data-merging principle where it receives structured data (typically from PLCs, SCADA systems, or databases) and applies it to template files containing placeholders and formatting rules. It uses parsing algorithms to identify variables, executes conditional logic if programmed, and renders the final output in specified formats (PDF, XML, CSV, etc.).
Materials
Software-based component; typically developed in programming languages like C++, Java, Python, or .NET; runs on industrial PCs or embedded controllers with operating systems such as Windows IoT, Linux, or real-time OS.
Technical Parameters
  • Processing Speed ≤10ms per template
  • Max Template Size 10MB
  • Supported Formats PDF, XML, CSV, TXT, HTML
  • Concurrent Templates Up to 100
  • Data Input Interfaces OPC UA, MQTT, REST API, SQL
Standards
ISO 13374, IEC 61131-3, ISO 22400
