To create a Normally Closed Contact (as well as a one-shot, rising edge, falling edge, etc.) contact or a negative coil (as well as a latch bit, reset bit, etc.) in MAPware-7000, you will want…
Firmware is a type of software that is embedded into hardware devices to control and manage their operations. Unlike regular software that can be easily updated or removed, firmware is typically stored in non-volatile memory,…
A recent Microsoft update now prevents MAPware-7000 projects from saving to any folder automatically backed up to OneDrive. This includes the “Desktop” and “Documents” folders. The step shown below may help to troubleshoot “failed to…
If you are using an HMC4000 model and are receiving the “Expansion has entered into error mode” message upon boot up, this means that there is a disconnect between the programmed IO module vs what…
These instructions are for when you want to email your HMC project file or transfer it to a different directory in MAPware-7000. In order to open the project when it has reached it’s destination, both…
A register address in EasyBuilder Pro refers to a specific memory location used to store and manage data within a system. A register is a specific storage location, typically in memory or a device, used…
In EasyBuilder Pro, a WORD refers to the size of the data type configured for the system. This is the standard size used to store data in registers and memory locations within the system. Our…
A UDP port is a communication endpoint for transmitting data between devices on a network using the UDP protocol. On Maple Systems products, UDP ports enable fast, connectionless communication for applications like broadcast messaging or…
A TCP port is a communication endpoint for transmitting data between devices on a network using the TCP protocol. On Maple Systems products, TCP ports facilitate connections between HMIs, PLCs, and other networked devices for…
A Human Machine Controller (HMC or HMI + PLC) combines an HMI and PLC into one unit. The HMI + PLC can display visualizations on the LCD touch panel as well as run logic control…
Yes. Our HMIs can be paired with our PLC products via Modbus RTU or TCP. The Modbus Slave driver is configured in the PLC software, and the Modbus Master driver is configured in HMI software…
MAPware-7000 is the configuration software used to program our HMI+PLCs. Use just one software application to program both the screens that appear in the display as well as the logic that controls your system. Create…
A Class I, Division 2 location is defined as one: In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases…
When downloading a new project to an HMC7000 Series, or after upgrading MAPware-7000, it may be necessary to upgrade the firmware of an expansion module. To update the firmware in an HMI + PLC or…
Press and hold your finger in the upper-left corner of the screen while the HMC is powering up. This will give you the option of erasing the firmware in the HMC. Press and hold your…
To enter touchscreen calibration mode, press and hold your finger in the center of the screen while the HMC is powering up. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the calibration procedure.
An HMI + PLC (HMC) combines an HMI and PLC into one unit. The HMI + PLC can display visualizations on the LCD touch panel as well as run logic control internally. Pluggable I/O can…
Yes, the HMC2000, HMC3000, and the HMC4000 series have built-in web servers, accessible from any Internet web browser, allowing remote access to HMC data from a remote computer on the Ethernet network or, if exposed…
UL indicates that the product has been tested to meet the safety standards of the United States by Underwriters Laboratories. Most, but not all, Maple Systems products are UL certified. See the individual project pages…
