You have now built, simulated, and tested your first functional HMI application in Vijeo Designer 6.2. ✅
Once your tutorial project is ready, transfer it to the Magelis panel.
In Vijeo Designer, right-click , select Link Variables , choose your exported file, and import your tag database instantly. 5. Designing the User Interface (HMI Screens)
Define the ingredients (e.g., Speed, Temperature, Mix Time) linked to specific PLC variables.
For most modern Schneider frameworks, choose or the proprietary Schneider Electric CoSoSys protocol.
: Every object needs a variable. You can create local variables (HMI only) or external variables that link directly to PLC memory addresses.
In the world of industrial automation, the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is the window into your process. Schneider Electric’s is a powerful, Windows-based software package used to create sophisticated HMI applications for Magelis line of panels (GTO, GTU, STO, XBT GH, etc.). Whether you are controlling a packaging line, a water treatment facility, or a factory floor, Vijeo Designer is the tool that bridges the gap between the operator and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
Click the menu item and select Validate . The software scans for unlinked tags, overlapping addresses, or syntax issues within your scripts. Fix all messages listed inside the Error log window before proceeding. Running the Local Simulator
Click on a sensitive screen or button, go to its properties, and set the required to access it. 7. Simulation, Validation, and Downloading
: Right-click in the Navigator window and select "Create New Project".
Enter the of your physical PLC. Leave the syntax structure to default standard unless your memory mapping requires specific offset adjustments. 5. Variable (Tag) Management
Good HMI design prioritizes operator clarity. Let's build a basic control screen. Step 1: Base Screens vs. Panel Screens
