Old HMI replacement

qwemx · Mar 24, 2023

I have been asked to help with this issue there is an old HMI which has to be replaced as it takes too long to load a replacement was ordered and now we have a new HMI from Schneider which is already programmed but the older HMI has a weird connector and the new one does not have this Interface.

OLD HMI :Modicon XBTF034510

NEW HMI : SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC Harmony GTO Model HMIGTO5310 (Ethernet,RS485)

Looks like you have a Modbus Plus communication adapter. You would have to change the protocol and cabling to replace the HMI:

I just found this link:

Looks like you can buy a XBTZGUMP adapter to use Modbus Plus with the HMIGTO panel.

On panel side picture it shows that panel tryes to commuicate (led on coms) so is panel screen broken?
Also is it checked that PLC additional communication PCMCIA card isn't broken.
It can be also normal modbus or Fipio way, but you can only check from PLC program or from PCMCIA card markings which communication module it really is.

I haven't used fipio at all, so I can't help much.

Have you checked that all other Fipio equipment works there?
