Vijeo Designer 6.2 is the software used to configure and program Schneider Electric Magelis HMI panels. It enables users to create graphical screens that interact with PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), allowing operators to monitor processes, change setpoints, view alarms, and analyze data. User-friendly interface design.
: Fully supports Harmony (formerly Magelis) XBTG, GTW, GK, GTO, and STU series.

Schneider Electric’s Vijeo Designer 6.2 is a cross‑platform configuration software for creating Human‑Machine Interface (HMI) applications for the Magelis Harmony range, XBT GT, XBT GK, HMIGTO, HMIGTU and many other industrial panels. The software is no longer sold commercially, but version 6.2 (Service Pack 12) is available as a free download from the Schneider Electric website until December 2027, making it an accessible entry point for many automation projects. This tutorial walks you through the complete workflow, from installation and project creation to designing interactive screens and finally transferring your application to a real HMI panel.
Drag a Rectangle from the toolbox and size it to 800x600. Color it dark grey. Lock it via right-click > Lock to avoid moving it accidentally.
Setup (communicating with your PLC, e.g., Modbus TCP or Schneider's Unitelway). Create Variables (linking HMI tags to PLC addresses). 2. Core Tutorial Steps
Your project is now running on the physical hardware.
During download, Vijeo Designer automatically checks whether the correct version of the is already installed on the HMI panel. If not, the runtime is downloaded and updated automatically.
Vijeo Designer 62 is a software tool used to create HMIs for Schneider Electric's Magelis and other compatible devices. It provides a user-friendly interface for designing and implementing HMI applications, allowing users to create custom screens, alarms, trends, and recipes. With Vijeo Designer 62, users can easily connect to various automation devices, such as PLCs, sensors, and actuators, to monitor and control industrial processes.
