Which HMI + PLC is Right for You?
Both Maple HMI + PLC series are Class 1, Division 2, support high-speed counters and timers, provide serial and Ethernet communications, and let you choose either Native Ladder or IEC programming. Both series are programmed using Maple's MAPware-7000 software, which allows you to have web server functionality, data logging, recipes, graphs, alarms, trending, create objects with multiple tasks, and more. For more information on MAPware7000, download a demo version or read more about its features on the product pages.
Once you decide on an I/O configuration and the required modules, you can then determine which screen size, or sizes, will support that configuration. How many modules does a particular model support? What about the speed of the high-speed counter? Do you need a micro SD card? These are important questions to consider when making your selection. Refer to the 3000 vs 7000 comparison tab above for more information on all our I/O modules as well as to see which series supports specific I/O modules.
