Hey All,
The company just purchased some surplus equipment at an auction.
Amongst the pile I found four Schneider Magelis XBTGT4330 HMI's.
I've never used these before, but after some research it seems they must pretty powerful (and pricy) devices, so it seems I should make an attempt at putting them to use.
Schneider's website has a lot of fluffy information about these HMI's, but when it comes down to the "nuts & bolts" of programming them it seems the info is hard to find.
I've figured out that I need software called Vijeo Designer to configure and program these things and from the webpage describing said software I found a download link for Vijeo Designer Lite Ver1.3, which I spent hours downloading only to find it did not cover this series of HMI's. After more research it seems that I need Vijeo Designer Ver6, and after a couple more hours of research I found a download link for Ver6 (it's a 125MB zip file, so I'll wait and download this overnight)but I get the feeling that somehow/somewhere I'll have to purchase a license, but so far I've not found where to get this license or how much it is........
So, anybody out there in PLC land have info on this software and/or experience using this HMI?
Any input would be appreciated......
Regards,
JohnR
