Vijeo Designer 6.2 is Schneider Electric's classic HMI configuration software used to design operator interface applications for Harmony and Magelis terminals. This tutorial covers the essential steps for setting up projects, configuring communications, and designing interactive screens. 1. Project Initialization

: These exist only within the HMI for local logic or navigation. Variable Import

  1. Click Debug menu → Generate Runtime (or press F7). Wait for the build to succeed.
  2. Click Debug → Start Simulation (or press F5).
  3. The HMI Simulator window opens, showing your screen.
  4. Test the application:
    • Target: Select your HMI model. For this tutorial, choose HMISTU655 (a common 7.5" color touch panel).
    • Name: My_First_HMI
    • Location: Choose a folder (e.g., C:\VijeoProjects\)
    • Language: Keep English (United States) as the default language.

    Your HMI is only as smart as the data it receives. You must create a bridge between the software and your controller. Add an I/O Manager : Right-click on "I/O Manager" in the Navigator pane. Select Driver : For modern Schneider PLCs (like the M241 or M251), select Modbus TCP/IP SoMachine Network Define Equipment

    to create a single "template" object. You can then reuse this object for multiple motors or valves by simply changing the linked variable, saving hours of manual design. 🧪 Simulation and Download Never download to a live machine without testing first. Simulation Build -> Simulate
