Description

SCHNEIDER HMIG5U2 Screenless HMI Enclosure

The Schneider Electric Magelis HMIG5U2 is a high-performance Open Box (Industrial PC) module designed for the Magelis GTU range. It allows users to run Windows-based applications directly on a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) hardware platform.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the product.

1. Product Overview

The HMIG5U2 is part of the Magelis GTU (now often referred to under the Harmony range) modular system. Unlike standard HMIs that run proprietary firmware, the HMIG5U2 is an “Open Box” that runs Windows Embedded Standard 7. This allows it to support third-party software, web browsers, and complex data processing alongside traditional HMI functions.

2. Technical Specifications

The HMIG5U2 is a powerful computing engine that clips onto the back of various Harmony GTU display units (ranging from 7″ to 19″).

3. Key Advantages (Product Benefits)

• Modular Design: The “Click-on” architecture allows you to upgrade the processing power (Box) or the screen size (Display) independently, reducing maintenance costs.

• Standard PC Functionality: Since it runs Windows, you can install office tools (Excel, PDF readers), ERP clients, or specialized diagnostic software directly on the machine.

• High Performance: The Intel Core i3 processor is capable of handling complex SCADA applications and heavy data logging that would crash a standard HMI.

• Dual Display Support: It can drive its own attached screen plus an external monitor via the DVI port, allowing for expanded operator visibility.

• Industrial Ruggedness: Designed for harsh environments with no moving parts (fanless design) and high resistance to vibration and temperature.

4. Maintenance and Safety Precautions

• Storage Management: Avoid frequent “hard” power-offs. Since it runs a Windows OS, improper shutdowns can lead to file system corruption. Use a UPS if the power grid is unstable.

• Heat Dissipation: Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the unit for natural convection, as it is a fanless system.

• CFast Card Life: The 32 GB storage has a limited write cycle. It is recommended to log heavy data to an external drive or a network location rather than the primary system card.

• Firmware Compatibility: Ensure the firmware of the attached Display Module is compatible with the Box module version.

5. Typical Applications

The HMIG5U2 is ideal for “Industry 4.0” applications where the HMI needs to do more than just toggle buttons:

• Data Aggregation: Serving as a gateway between the factory floor (PLC) and the IT database (SQL/ERP).

• Complex SCADA: Running Vijeo Citect or Aveva Edge applications at the “Edge” of the network.

• Vision Systems: Connecting industrial cameras and running image processing software on the same screen as the machine controls.

• Remote Monitoring: Using standard web browsers or remote desktop protocols to manage the plant from the HMI.
