Introduction
All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with Panasonic FP (Ethernet). Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.
Supported Series: FP-X with AFPX-COM5
