For batch processes (e.g., mixing different paint colors or baking different bread types), recipes are essential. Vijeo Designer 6.3 includes a built-in recipe manager that allows operators to load, save, modify, and create recipes directly from the HMI. Recipes can be stored on external media for easy backup. vijeo designer 63
The alarm viewer is highly configurable. You can set active alarms, historical alarms, and acknowledgment filters. Vijeo Designer 6.3 allows for distributed alarm priority (Low, Medium, High, Emergency), with distinct visual and audible alerts per priority. Alarm messages can also be printed directly via a connected network printer.

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. Deployment checklist
