The Magelis XBTRT511 has user configurable membrane keys; graphics with an extensive symbols library (built into the application software); bar graphs, gauges, trend graphs, bitmaps and scrolling text; with up to 16mm high characters for easy reading. Up to 10 lines of 33 characters per screen can be accommodated with a touch grid on screen of 11 x 5 cells. Patented spring-loaded fixing clips speed installation and also ensure the integrity of the HMI’s IP65 seal and its global certifications, which include ATEX Zones 2 & 22.
The new HMI has enhanced diagnostics with tri-colour backlight for machine or process status indication; an integral alarm LED; as well as buzzer and status LEDs on the keys. It also boasts enhanced connectivity with Schneider Electric protocols Unitelway and Modbus, as well as having third party drivers for Mitsubishi, Omron, Rockwell, and Siemens PLCs. There is a second serial port for printer connection. Application design is easy using Schneider Electric’s Vijeo Designer Lite v1.2 software.
The XBTRT511 is compact and can save precious space on machine control panels. Costing from under £230.00, the HMI is very competitively priced for its functionality and specification.
The new HMI is aimed at OEMs for simple and repetitive machines, but is also ideal for complex equipment. It is ideal for the automotive industry, food and beverage industry, production of electronic components and equipment, pharmaceuticals, industrial and domestic cleaning products, chemical products, production of materials for the construction industry (cement, bricks, wood, glass, etc.), water treatment, domestic and industrial waste treatment, building automation and infrastructure applications.
