Maple Micro PLC

The Maple Micro PLC’s are compact, all-around PLCs that provide high-level performance and reliability for small-scale industrial automation systems. With built-in functions (PID control, high speed counter (HSC), and positioning), these PLCs are DIN rail mountable and come with a variety of digital and analog configurations. Paired with our free PLC configuration software MapleLogic that supports floating point arithmetic, special instructions, and function blocks, our Maple Micro PLCs are designed to be a cost-effective control solution.

Our PLCs easily communicate with our HMIs using MODBUS TCP/RTU. Maple Systems offers all the components you need to create your own unique level of supervisory data acquisition and control (SCADA) system. Read more about how our products work together.

PLC Communication

Our PLCs can function seamlessly as both native slave and master devices through Modbus RTU and TCP/IP protocols. When operating as a Modbus TCP/IP Master, an additional communication module is required. This flexibility simplifies the setup process, automatically assigning Modbus addresses to device addresses, reducing configuration errors and time. To establish communication, connect your device, configure the channel to reference our PLC, and specify the Modbus address. You can easily verify communication status, or PLC connection, using the diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of our PLCs.

Online PLC Editing

With our PLC software, you have the convenience of making real-time online edits to your logic without ever disconnecting from your PLC device. This powerful capability not only streamlines your programming and testing but also complements our hardware and software fault detection features.

Online editing offers several other valuable benefits, such as:

Reduced Downtime: Perform updates and modifications to your control system quickly, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation

Rapid Troubleshooting: Quickly diagnose and rectify issues by making immediate changes to the logic during testing and production runs.

Efficient Maintenance: Simplify routine maintenance tasks by fine-tuning logic and parameters without disrupting the overall system.

Hardware and Software Diagnosis

MapleLogic provides detailed fault and error detection, ensuring that in the event of an error, you can swiftly identify issues within your device. Detailed information is displayed about the location of the error, whether there’s an error with the PLC CPU and/or the modules, we offer guidance on potential resolutions. We’ve also compiled extensive error code tables in our help file, covering general errors and module-specific lists to aid you in your testing phase.

Hardware

The front panel of each device features diagnostic LEDs that will indicate anytime there is an error. Special modules also have various speeds of LED blinking corresponding to different errors.

Software

Our software further enhances your troubleshooting capabilities through a dedicated diagnostics window, where error codes and their associated reasons are displayed. If you’re using our Modular PLC, all attached modules are listed with any associated error codes.

We provide free U.S Technical Support, insuring you have all the diagnostic resources and help to create your unique industrial solution. Call our Technical Support Team at (425) 745-3229 available Monday-Friday from 6:00AM to 4:30PM PST.

PLC Programming

Choose from a variety of programming options including Ladder Logic (also known as Ladder Diagram), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), Industrial List (IL), and/or Function Blocks to program your control system solutions. Our PLC software is designed with simplicity in mind, allowing you to transition and become proficient in less than two hours.

Key features included:

  • Access to over 400 prebuilt PLC instructions for tasks like arithmetic, positioning, trigonometry, PID control, and more.
  • An Intuitive workspace and user-friendly interface.
  • Device Monitoring capabilities that enable you to view, modify, and diagnose your project.
  • Efficient programming through the ability to save and reuse programs, function blocks, and configuration settings, simplify the process and reduce programming time for new projects.
