Magelis SCU is the new generation of small HMI controllers from Schneider Electric UK.  The Magelis SCU controller delivers both PLC and HMI functionality for control of small machines and simple processes, while saving up to 30% in installation size, time and cost.

The integrated design of Magelis SCU delivers maximum functionality while keeping installation easy. Especially suitable for small machines and simple processes control, its state-of-the-art display provides a crystal-clear readability. Panel mounting via a 22 mm diameter hole (pushbutton type) which considerably simplifies installation.

The ultra-compact range of Magelis SCU Small HMI controllers are part of Schneider Electric’s Flexible Machine Control concept, and a key element in MachineStruxure.  Magelis SCU controllers for simple machines have the either a 3.5″ touch screen for displaying mimics (colour TFT LCD), or a 5.7″ touch screen for displaying mimics (colour TFT LCD).

For each screen size, two I/O configurations are available: a controller module with 16 integrated digital inputs/10 integrated digital outputs, or a controller module with 8 integrated digital inputs/8 integrated digital outputs and 4 integrated analogue inputs/2 integrated analogue outputs.

Magelis SCU Small HMI controllers operate with the same Screen modules as Magelis STU Small panels, which simplifies upgrading of an installation (only the rear module needs to be replaced).  A wide choice of communication interfaces is also integrated: USB port, serial link, Ethernet and CANopen.

Operation

With their fast multitasking processors, the HMI controllers combine HMI and control functions and share the same screen and communication features and dimensions. The internal memory can be freely used by both the HMI function and the control function. Processing is split 75% on the HMI part and 25% on the control part. The processing can be configured for 3 tasks, including 1 master task.

Configuration

Magelis SCU Small HMI controllers are configured using Schneider Electric’s machine automation software, SoMachine. This software, combining both HMI and control functions, is based on Vijeo Designer software.  SoMachine software features an advanced user interface with many user configurable windows, enabling unique projects to be developed quickly and easily.
