Welcome to SIMATIC WinCC Unified

I had high expectations and now I’m very disappointed…

It's totally useless. I was most irritated by the UI design from 20 years ago...

We'll stay on electron.js and Grafana

Hello AutoGen_7081883,

at the moment Unified truly has some points that need to be improved and I think, they will be in the future.
Although comparing a WinCC system (which Unified is) with electron seems like comparing apples and pears.
Former is an HMI system for industrial automation, latter an programming framework for software development.
I think both products have different goals and are aimed at different user groups.
E.g. a WinCC Unfied user doesn't have to know to write HTML5 code, ... I think you know what I mean.

Greetings

Hi

Feedback ref Java Scripts and few other issues:

1. the << operation does fail when any bit which has value 1 reaches position 31.
this should not be the case....
2. Compilation does not catch any even basic errors (for example typos in method name)
it should catch these errors
3. Auto Complete list should cover tags as well (so one should be able to select tag from list
and it should insert tag name in "")
4. Auto Complete should list all fields / methods when dot typed after variable created from object
(for example Int64 when user types . auto-complete should show Lo, Hi, ShiftLeft, etc.
for try .. catch(ex) when user type ex. it should show message, name, etc. on the list.)
4. Snip should also have option to insert a short version of tag read/write:
Tags("<TagName>").Read() or .Write()
5. Screen editor - text fields - user should be able to enter text on screen without digging proporties
like in WinCC Comfort.
6. Screen Editor - Property pages - there should be a "most used" option at the top with most
frequently used options (for example font, colours, visibility, process value)
to make development quicker
7. it would be nice to have rotation as well and a visibility for groups (both in Unified and in
WinCC Basic/Professional)
8. it would be nice to have templates like on HMI so common items are done just once
9. when adding PLC manually it should be possible to select station from list of available stations when
    network selected in hw config.
10.  Add make same size buttons to the toolbar (next to allign buttons)

11. Need grouping of graphical objects.

12. Need grid and snap to grid. 

13. Need Styles, like in Basic/Comfort HMI in Common data.

Well I guess I should have known better. We are doing a project with 2x Unified Comfort Panels and my impression so far is that they should not even be on the market in their present state.

I essentially have something that is so far unusable for this project.

One of the boxes is unopened, I am seriously considering returning it based on them not being fit for purpose and using something else (Exor or a standard Comfort Panel) - just have to tell my customer that it will not be a Siemens Unified Panel. The user interface has gone so far backwards I am definitely regretting trying to use this on a quick turnaround project.
