Standard Headless HMI with Wi-Fi

The WiFi spec for the cMT-SVR-200 series is IEEE 802.11 b/g/n.

802.11b/g has a range up to 150 feet (can be affected by building materials).

802.11n has a range of up to 175 feet (can be affected by building materials).

So the range depends on whether the receiver uses b, g, or n.

So to be safe, the receiver should be located in the range of 150 to 175 feet of the cMT-SVR (but the range can be affected by the building materials used).

Yes! Maple Systems programming software is completely free of charge. This includes EBPro, MAPware-7000, and MapleLogic—our flagship software tools for HMI, HMI + PLC combo, or PLC programming and configuration. There are no licensing fees, subscriptions, or activation codes required to download, install, or use these programs. Creating a free account on the Maple Systems website is all that is required.

Whether you’re developing your first HMI project or configuring a complex control system, you can access the full functionality of our software without any cost.

Maple Systems is committed to providing cost-effective solutions for our customers, and offering free software is a core part of that mission. Updates are also free, and support resources—including user manuals, video tutorials, and US-based technical support—are available at no additional cost. This makes it easy for engineers, integrators, and OEMs to start building and maintaining projects right away, without worrying about hidden expenses or recurring fees.

Yes, you can replace the stock antenna with an aftermarket one. The antenna connector on the cMT-SVR is RPSMA Female.

Maple Systems cMT HMIs support over +400 PLC and controller communication protocols, allowing our HMIs to communicate with most common devices. Our cMT HMIs also support protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus RTU, opening them up for use with a wide range of devices.

If you want to see the protocols that EBPro supports, visit our Controller Information Sheets page for more information. You can also download the EBPro software from our website for free, which includes simulation features. You can use these to test connections to your other devices before buying any hardware from Maple Systems.

Yes. Our HMIs support remote access features via the EasyAccess 2.0 application. EasyAccess provides a simple built-in solution for creating a secure VPN connection to a remote network, which will allow you to monitor and control your HMI from anywhere in the world.

Once the VPN tunnel has been established, the HMI can be accessed using the cMT Viewer application included with EBPro, or through VNC client software.

Using the EasyAccess 2.0 application does require a one-time license activation fee, which allows for 3 GB of monthly high-speed data at no additional cost. Our HMIs can also be purchased with a pre-activated license for EasyAccess 2.0 already installed.

An HMI must belong to a domain in order to use EasyAccess 2.0. Anyone can create a new domain for free, all you need is a valid e-mail address. The Domain Management System is the basic system used to organize and handle HMI’s under a particular domain.

When you create a domain account, you become the domain’s administrator. It’s the administrator’s responsibility to create new user accounts and to assign HMIs to specific users and HMI groups. Your domain can contain multiple HMIs, groups, and users.

In order to use EasyAccess 2.0, you must activate the HMI in the domain. Some HMIs have EasyAccess 2.0 pre-installed and some require purchasing an activation card.

Download the EasyAccess 2.0 app on your PC/ iPad/ iPhone/ Android Tablet, Launch EasyAccess 2.0, enter the User ID and password. Once logged in, the program will list all HMIs assigned to this ID including all HMIs under an HMI group. Select an HMI and establish a remote connection. You can now monitor any HMI in your HMI list.

cMT Viewer is a client application that enables users to view and control Maple Systems cMT devices, quickly and easily. cMT Viewer runs the HMI project on the client device. Only application data is exchanged between the cMT hardware, acting as a server, and the client device – your smart phone or tablet. Monitor and control up to 50 cMT HMIs with one device!

Note: cMT Viewer is only compatible with our cMT Series.

To turn on Monitor Mode in cMT-Viewer:

1.    Click on the “gear” icon in the upper-right corner to open the Settings window.

2.       Click on the “More settings” lock icon and enter the password (default: 111111).

3.      Click on the General tab and turn on “Monitor mode.”

4.      Close the settings window.

5.      If you are currently logged in to an HMI, use the orange Start button in the upper-left corner of cMT-Viewer to minimize the view. You will see a small view of each HMI on the screen. If Monitor Mode has been enabled in the project on the HMI (System Parameters > General tab), Window 3 will appear in the Monitor view, otherwise it will show the startup window. (Note: If an HMI shows “Connecting” and doesn’t show Window 3, try connecting to it in EasyAccess 2.0 by clicking on the double-arrow icon.)

6.      Click on any HMI to view it in cMT-Viewer.

Yes. To turn automatic backup on in EBPro, click on the File menu and select Preferences. On the Project tab, check the “Generate backup of project file before save” option. This will create a backup of your project any time you save it with a *.bak1 extension.

Subsequent saves will rename the backup file with a *.bak2 and finally *.bak3 extension, so there will always be three backup files saved with *.bak1 the most recent and *.bak3 the oldest.

Select Maple Systems HMI wifi models feature a wireless network connection (Wi-Fi) that allows users to connect to a local wireless access point or the Internet without using an Ethernet cable.

Tech Note 5121, “Wi-Fi Configuration” explains how to setup and connect your HMI to a Wi-Fi Network.
