About the Magelis SCU HMI Controller

 

Magelis SCU HMI Controller Devices Overview

Overview

The Schneider Electric Magelis SCU HMI Controller has various powerful features. This controller can service a wide range of applications.

The software configuration and programming is accomplished with the SoMachine software.

Programming Languages

The Magelis SCU HMI Controller is supported and programmed with the SoMachine software, which supports the following IEC61131-3 programming languages:

oIL: Instruction List

oST: Structured Text

oFBD: Function Block Diagram

oSFC: Sequential Function Chart

oLD: Ladder Diagram

SoMachine software can also be used to program these controllers using CFC (Continuous Function Chart) language.

Real Time Clock

The Magelis SCU HMI Controller includes a Real Time Clock (RTC) system.

Run/Stop

The Magelis SCU HMI Controller can be operated externally by the following:

oa Run/Stop operation by a dedicated digital input, defined in the software configuration. For more information, refer to Configuration of Digital Inputs.

oa SoMachine software command.
