Schneider Electric Magelis GTU HMI

Schneider Electric has introduced the Magelis GTU HMI with smartphone-like navigation. It allows users to create an HMI for their application by snapping together the panel box and display of their choice. Optimised for the latest HMI configuration software from Schneider Electric, Vijeo XD, the Magelis GTU is as easy and comfortable to use as a smartphone or tablet, with intuitive navigation and many connectivity options, including remote access.

The Magelis GTU is easy to integrate with any system architecture due to a high variety of embedded interfaces: a dual Gigabit Ethernet port for network connectivity, dual serial and one optional fieldbus interface for easy communication with industrial devices, and up to four USB ports for connecting peripherals while minimising wiring.

Due to industrial multitouch, users can zoom in and out, swipe and scroll through intuitive menus while wearing protective gloves or through a protective screen cover. A high-resolution, 16 million colour screen delivers a clear view of the same key functions and tools as a PC, including Office viewer, Adobe viewer, Internet Explorer, multimedia player, etc. Magelis GTU applications can also be accessed through a second display via the DVI interface and managed remotely through the Vijeo Design’Air app for mobile devices.
