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

(1) Not all of the 16360 bytes are available for the customer application because some libraries may use retain variables. |
The following embedded I/O types are available, depending on the controller model:
oRegular inputs
oFast inputs (HSC)
oRegular outputs
oFast outputs (PTO/PWM)
oAnalog outputs
oThermocouple inputs
oRTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) inputs
Embedded Communication Features
4 types of communication ports are available on the rear panel:
oEthernet port
oCANopen
oUSB programming ports
oSerial link port
