Project migration: Open the original XBTGT7340 project in Vijeo Designer, simply change the target model, fine-tune a small number of communication drivers; no need to redesign screens.

📌 Supported Communication Protocols

Modbus RTU/TCP, Uni-TE, Mitsubishi MC, Omron Host Link/FINS, Allen-Bradley DF1, Siemens S7 protocols, plus mainstream PLC drivers for GE, Fuji, Delta, Xinje, LS, Inovance etc.

⚠️ Common Faults for Used / Repaired Units

Aging internal lithium battery → lost clock & SRAM data

Touch panel aging & drift

CCFL backlight tube failure (not LED backlight)

Poor contact or damage of CF card

Malfunction of the video input circuit

Communication Protocols of XBTGT7340 (Vijeo Designer Drivers)

Divided into on-board native protocols + additional fieldbus via optional expansion cards. Drivers are selected and loaded inside Vijeo Designer projects.

Native Schneider Electric Protocols

1. Modbus RTU (COM1/COM2 serial ports, RS232/422/485)
2. Modbus TCP (RJ45 Ethernet port)
3. Uni-TE (for legacy Schneider Premium / Micro / Nano PLCs)
4. Modbus Plus (requires external gateway XBTZGUMP; no onboard hardware)
5. FIPWAY / FIPIO (FIP fieldbus; requires external gateway)

Native Third-Party PLC Serial & Ethernet Drivers

Siemens SIMATIC: S7-200 PPI, S7-300/400 MPI, S7 TCP (S7 protocol)

Mitsubishi Melsec: FX serial, Q-series serial/Ethernet (MC protocol)

Omron Sysmac: Host Link, FINS (serial / Ethernet)

AllenBradley: DF1, DH485, EtherNet/IP

Additional drivers available for GE, Fuji, Delta, Yonghong, LS, Inovance and other mainstream PLCs in the Vijeo Designer driver library.

Optional Expansion Slot (Fieldbus Cards, extra hardware required)

Profibus DP slave card XBTZGPDP → Profibus DP

DeviceNet card XBTZGDVN → DeviceNet

Only one card can be fitted at a time: Profibus DP or DeviceNet, not both simultaneously.

📌 Port Assignment

COM1: RS232 / RS422 / RS485 (supports Modbus RTU, PPI, MPI, Host Link etc.)

COM2: Fixed RS485 (preferred for Modbus RTU communication)

RJ45: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (Modbus TCP, S7 TCP, FINS, EtherNet/IP)

USB ports: Only for program download & data logging; no PLC communication drivers supported

⚠️ Important Limitations

1. Old firmware + early VJD versions have poor compatibility with newer PLCs (S7-1200/1500 native S7 protocol); use Modbus TCP as fallback.
2. Modbus Plus and FIPWAY need external gateways; the HMI has no built-in hardware for these buses.
3. Only one expansion bus card can be installed (Profibus DP or DeviceNet).
