Schneider Electric XBTGT340 — Compact HMI Touchscreen Panel | Magelis GTO Series
Engineering Background
The XBTGT340 is part of Schneider Electric’s Magelis GTO (Graphic Terminal Operator) series — a proven line of compact HMI panels engineered for demanding industrial environments. Designed to bridge operator interaction with PLC/DCS control systems, the GTO series has been deployed globally across process, discrete, and hybrid manufacturing sectors since its introduction. The XBTGT340 represents the entry-level graphic terminal in this family, offering a cost-effective yet robust solution for machine-level visualization and control.
Product Positioning
Targeting procurement engineers and system integrators who require a reliable, field-proven HMI with broad communication compatibility, the XBTGT340 delivers Schneider-native protocol support alongside open serial interfaces. It is the preferred choice for OEM machine builders and retrofit projects where panel space is constrained and budget discipline is critical. Konmask.com supplies this unit as a verified genuine component with full traceability documentation available on request.

Proven Application Environments
- Discrete Manufacturing: Machine tool HMI replacement, conveyor line operator terminals, packaging machine interfaces
- Process Industry: Water treatment plant local control panels, HVAC system operator stations, pump station monitoring
- Energy & Utilities: Substation auxiliary control, generator set monitoring, UPS system interfaces
- Building Automation: BMS operator terminals, access control integration panels
- OEM Machine Building: Injection molding machines, CNC retrofit projects, textile machinery
- Retrofit & Upgrade Projects: Direct replacement for legacy Magelis XBT-F and XBT-N series terminals with Vijeo Designer migration path
Engineering Advantages
- IP65 Front Panel Sealing: Suitable for wash-down environments and dusty production floors without additional enclosure protection
- Dual Serial Ports: Simultaneous RS-232 and RS-485 connectivity enables multi-device topologies without external converters
- Wide Protocol Library: Native Schneider Uni-Telway and Modbus support covers the majority of installed PLC base in Asia-Pacific and European markets
- Vijeo Designer Ecosystem: Full compatibility with Schneider’s unified HMI development environment — shared project libraries across GTO, GTU, and GXU families
- Compact Form Factor: 5.7″ panel fits standard 200×150 mm cutouts, minimizing enclosure modification costs on retrofit jobs
- 24 VDC Operation: Direct integration with standard PLC power rails — no separate HMI power supply required in most panel configurations
- Resistive Touch: Operable with gloves — critical for food processing, chemical, and heavy industry environments
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The XBTGT340 operates as a master device on the serial communication bus. In a typical deployment:
- COM1 (RS-232): Connected to PLC programming port or barcode scanner / printer peripheral
- COM2 (RS-485): Multi-drop bus connection to Schneider Modicon M340, Premium, or Quantum PLCs; supports up to 32 nodes at 19,200 bps
- USB Host: Firmware update, project upload/download via USB flash drive; data logging export
- USB Device (Type-B): Direct PC connection for Vijeo Designer project transfer and diagnostics
- Power Input: 24 VDC from panel power supply; internal DC/DC converter provides regulated logic power
The HMI polls PLC data registers at configurable scan rates (typical 100–500 ms), renders graphic pages from internal Flash, and writes operator inputs back to PLC holding registers in real time. Alarm management, trending, and recipe functions are handled entirely within the XBTGT340 without requiring PLC program modifications.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the XBTGT340 compatible with Schneider Modicon M221 / M241 PLCs?
A: Yes. Via Modbus RTU on COM2 (RS-485) or Modbus ASCII on COM1 (RS-232). Vijeo Designer includes pre-built driver configurations for M221 and M241 families.
Q: Can the XBTGT340 connect to third-party PLCs (Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron)?
A: Yes, with appropriate communication drivers installed in Vijeo Designer. Modbus RTU/ASCII drivers enable connectivity to any PLC with Modbus slave capability. Native drivers for major brands are available in the Vijeo Designer driver library.
Q: What is the backlight lifespan?
A: The CCFL backlight is rated for approximately 50,000 hours at 25 °C. Backlight replacement is a field-serviceable procedure; replacement lamps are available from Schneider Electric authorized service centers.
Q: Is the XBTGT340 still in production?
A: The XBTGT340 has reached end-of-active-production status. Schneider Electric’s current equivalent is the HMIGTO2310 (Magelis GTO, 3.8″) or HMIGTO4310 (5.7″). Konmask.com maintains stock of genuine XBTGT340 units for maintenance and retrofit applications. Contact us for availability.
Q: Can I use the same Vijeo Designer project from an older XBT-F terminal?
A: Vijeo Designer includes a migration wizard for XBT-F to GTO conversion. Screen resolution differences (XBT-F: 320×240 monochrome vs. XBTGT340: 320×240 color) require graphic asset review but the tag database and logic can be migrated automatically.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: MOQ is 1 unit. Volume pricing is available for orders of 5+ units. Contact support@konmask.com for a tiered pricing schedule.
