hi members

Can you advise MMI units compatible with Telemecanique PLCs.
Thanks

L.S.

MMI units which are compatible are the Magelis range - see http://public.modicon.com for more info - regards - Ron.

I advise you CITECT MMI. It is very useful SCADA program for me. Because it support different protocol and PLCs by using software. So it support OLE protocol too.

Best regards.

Dear friend,
You can use any MMI from the market that has available one of the communication protocols supported by the Telemecanique PLC. Take care, it will depend on the model that you are using.

Could be:
Modbus, Unitelway, Modbus Plus, Fipway, Ethway, Ethernet Modbus TCP, etc.

All of the Siemens Panels can connect to the Telemecanique PLCs.

Need more information!

What models of Tele PLCs? Newer models support several protocols.

The Magelis line of HMI terminals will communicate to the Tele PLCs.

Also Factorylink HMI software has drivers.

I think that you will find a plethora of HMI terminals that will concent, from the simple to the complex.

Have you looked at the Magelis HMI offering from Schneider Electric/Telemecanique? They have devices multi-line displays, touch screens and industrial computers.

I have also seen units from Exor used with Telemecanique PLCs.

Hi L.S.

For Schneider Electric PLCs, including the Telemecanique brand, we recommend using one of the MAGELiS XBT models as an HMI. (Human Machine Interface is what we say instead of Man Machine Interface now.) Typically on Telemecanique PLCs, the communications port supports the Unitelway protocol. So in reality, you can use any HMI that supports Unitelway, but usually you will find that if you use the same vendor for the HMI as you use for the PLC, everything works out alittle smoother in the long run.

It would help if you indicated how many PLC's and I/O the HMI needs to support. Schneider Electric has two packages that support the Tele PLC's

1. Monitor Pro
2. Vijeo Look

Please go to www.modicon.com for informaiton related to these HMI products. If you do not need the capabilities of the Monitor Pro or Vijeo Look packages, then I would look at the Schneider Electric Magelis HMI product line. The Magelis product line has a range of displays from simple text based to graphical touchscreens.

just a few that I know will work are: Modicon Magelis, Xycom GP series, Uticor. There are many more.
