Mingcedar Studio owns PowerPoint screen source, templates, scripts, and package export.
Choose Mingcedar products by scenario
Start by identifying whether the task is screen authoring, site runtime, point preparation, or file exchange. The main path is Mingcedar Studio exporting screen packages into Mingcedar runtime; use Mingcedar Scan for point preparation and Mingcedar Share for file exchange.
Mingcedar runs PowerPoint screen packages with controlled extensions and supports native Windows and Linux deployment, as well as Linux container deployment.
Mingcedar Scan prepares points independently for free; Mingcedar Share adds document previews to controlled file exchange.
Keep the main path and helper tools separate
The PowerPoint plugin exports screen asset packages, and Mingcedar carries the site runtime. Mingcedar manages screen resources together with menu, i18n, permission, tag, alarm, trend, license, and related runtime configuration. Choose the relevant tool when the task calls for TIA export or LAN file sharing.
For production-line HMI / SCADA, multi-site monitoring, and business integration using acquisition, calculated Tags, screens and media, alarms and trends, Python, and read-only APIs.
For projects that author industrial screens, reuse equipment templates, and configure data bindings in PowerPoint for Mingcedar runtime.
For TIA Portal, DB point extraction, and symbolic-address preparation. It is a standalone data preparation tool used when needed.
For delivery package distribution, log uploads, visual-record and report exchange, and controlled LAN sharing.
Mingcedar / SCADA runtime platform
Mingcedar takes exported PowerPoint screen packages directly into site operation, with controlled boundaries for project pages, system integrations, and cross-platform deployment.
Mingcedar supports production-line HMI / SCADA, multi-site monitoring, and business integration through acquisition, screens and media, alarms and trends, calculated Tags, Python, and read-only APIs. Federated sites remain independent. Ordinary site connections do not provide cross-PC acquisition standby; dedicated-node installations require same-machine external PostgreSQL / Redis and a prepared database schema.
Industrial screen authoring and export with Mingcedar Studio
Maintain editable industrial screens in PowerPoint for Windows desktop, configure behaviors, templates, charts, video, and page-scoped scripts, then export screen packages.
Mingcedar Studio exports HTML / SVG / JS screen packages. Mingcedar loads the screens, supplies live data, and checks permissions. PLC Tags use full names; calculated Tags are read by name with ReadCalculatedTag. Configure runtime variables and template parameters within their respective scopes. Deploy video files separately and verify live media access in the target runtime.
TIA standard-DB point extraction
Mingcedar Scan is a free, standalone point-preparation tool for standard-layout DBs in TIA projects and does not require Mingcedar.
Mingcedar Scan prepares scalar points from standard-layout DBs in offline TIA Portal projects or archives, retaining absolute addresses and verification status. The GUI exports Excel, CSV, or JSON review lists; CLI communication-import JSON includes only points that pass address and type checks. Other SCADA/HMI or custom systems require explicit mapping and validation.
Mingcedar Share / LAN file sharing
Mingcedar Share provides LAN file sharing with browser previews before permission-controlled download or organization.
Mingcedar Share distributes delivery packages and collects logs and field materials. Windows / macOS desktop apps or a Linux service expose one folder with role-based web access. Preview images, PDFs, text, Markdown, and CSV / TSV; download Office files to open them. Upload requests default to 512 MiB, and all users share the same folder scope.
Three common questions explained
These guides match common project questions, explain workflow boundaries, and link to the corresponding manuals.
Mingcedar is an industrial HMI / SCADA runtime platform integrating device acquisition, screen publication, alarms and trends, Python, read-only data APIs, and directional Site federation.
- Device connectivity and Tags
- Screens, navigation, and media
- Alarms, trends, and sound
Explains how Mingcedar Studio exports industrial screens, templates, popups, scripts, and binding metadata from PowerPoint into page packages loaded by Mingcedar.
- PowerPoint is the editable screen source, not the runtime platform.
- The export package contains pages, assets, scripts, animations, and bindings.
- Runtime entry, permissions, and site data are managed by Mingcedar.
Explains how Mingcedar Scan reads scalar points offline from proven standard-layout DBs in TIA Portal projects, then applies scope, rule review, and result export.
- Confirm Windows x64, .NET 4.8, TIA Portal, Automation License Manager, and Openness access first.
- Project-tree, PLC, DB-number, and access-attribute scope affect the result, but the address area is fixed to DB.
- The GUI exports one Excel, CSV, or JSON file; the CLI creates Mingcedar-compatible JSON.
Explains how Mingcedar Share provides controlled LAN file sharing for delivery packages, logs, visual records, reports, and field material exchange.
- Share only a dedicated folder, not an unrestricted file system.
- Roles control browser file actions; manage accounts on the host through the desktop or CLI.
- Use desktop apps on Windows or macOS and systemd on Linux.
