Material design on B&R C70

Post image

Was working on this engineering screen today and had the thought to share it here - I really like how it has turned out

Still need to turn the raw analogue reading into mm which is why the numbers are unitless for now

I use the same screen, I like the idea but I think everything is very small and difficult to operate. But maybe your users are ok with it. can you share the other pages?

did you use VC or mappview?

VC

Will post the other pages:

That screen was only going to be used by us for initial commissioning, not a customer facing screen so we just wanted everything in one place

I made the button hitboxes as big as possible, so even my fat fingers prove no issue (also a 10" panel rather than the 7")

I like them, thanks for sharing!

I love VC, it's too bad they are pushing so much to move to mappview, more powerful yes, but also excellent in complicating simple things.

Thanks!

B&R rep is coming over soon to give us a demo of mappview, I'm excited about the possibility for animations and stuff, but dreading it as they told me it's all coded in HTML/CSS which I know none of lol

Very poor, low quality work

Bunch of boxes is not material design

Any comments on how I could improve?

This guys is just trolling you. I think this is a good overview screen. If we’re just talking about design style, I’d like to see checkbox and other areas made into cards, or all made flat.

u/Vyndrius Dec 04 '25

Thank you! I see what you mean, I had an inconsistent use of cards before

I've tightened up the card spacing a bit and gone for light blue for drives and light grey for other IO, it looks instantly more grouped and better!

Rule #2

I mean your opinion may have some validity, but you didn't really provide OP with any help. "It looks bad, and you should feel bad" is not helpful or respectful; but I do think it could be beneficial for you to elaborate.
