Optimise your control and your price with Magelis

The Magelis XBT GC HMI controller combines human machine interface (HMI) and control system (PLC) functions in a single product. It’s the only HMI controller available with available direct input/output  (I/O), remote I/O and I/O extension modules for entire HMI controller range and a built-in high-speed counter.

Using the XBT GC HMI controller for integrated control offers the control panel builder benefits over conventional solutions.  These include smaller panel sizes; fewer spares and inventory parts; faster and simplified programming; eliminate the need for a PLC, and simplifying or even eliminating cabling.

The Magelis XBT GC HMI controller is ideal for online connectivity, compact machines, minimised start-up times,  lower unit and installation costs.  Other features, including:

– Complete range with three screen types and a choice of connection options (USB, serial link, CANopen, Ethernet)

– Simple and fast I/O wiring option via the Telefast system (remotely on the machine or in the enclosure)

– Three I/O categories: integrated (4 High Speed Counters and 4 PTO), M238 controller extension modules or distributed over CANopen

– High speed, multitasking processor

The Magelis XBT GC streamlines machine design by utilising Schneider Electric’s flexible machine control solution that embeds intelligence in four key hardware platforms (logic, drive, motion, and HMI) that leverage their exclusive SoMachine software. This provides the flexibility to adapt your machines to your customers’ specific needs, without prolonging development or sacrificing performance or functionality.

The SoMachine software..

..allows you to further accelerate your machine design and get to market faster by starting with a library of pre-tested, validated and documented control function blocks.
