Vijeo Designer 63 -

Schneider Electric has moved forward. If you are starting a new project, you will likely use EcoStruxure Operator Terminal Expert. However, the good news is that the project structure is nearly identical. Schneider provides a migration tool that can open .VJT files from Vijeo Designer 6.3 directly into the new software, converting tag databases and screens automatically.

If you have a large, working system on 6.3, there is no urgent need to migrate – but for new hardware (HMISTO, HMIBO, Harmony GTU), you will need the newer software.

Version 6.3 features a robust data logging engine. You can log analog values (temperature, pressure, speed) to a USB drive, SD card, or network drive. Historical trends can be displayed as line graphs or bar charts with zoom and pan capabilities. You can export logs directly to CSV format for analysis in Excel. vijeo designer 63
