To calibrate Maple Systems HMIs with four DIP switches on the back: Turn DIP switch 1 to the ON position and cycle power on the HMI. This will cause it to boot into calibration mode. Don’t forget to turn the DIP switch back OFF when completed. Other methods of Calibration: Locate the DIP switches behind…
Maple Systems cMT models in sizes 9.7″, 10.1″, 15″, and 15.6″ have a built in mono speaker for audio purposes.

Yes, our headless (without an integrated display) units are fully functional HMIs. Utilizing EBPro software, you can configure the headless device to communicate with your PLC/controller the same way you would program any Maple Systems HMI. If a display is required, a Windows® PC, Apple or Android smart device, or one of our cMT iV…
Yes. Ethernet HMI+PLC models allow you to create Web Screens which are accessible through a web browser on the local network. Additionally, you can pair one of our cMT Gateway products with a Maple Systems HMI + PLC (HMC) unit to add remote data access and enhanced data extraction. The cMT Gateway uses Modbus TCP…
When starting with EBPro, we recommend that you implement these Best Practices: Store your project files on your local hard drive. If you must store your projects on a networked drive, copy the project to your local hard drive, make your changes, then copy it back to the networked drive. Use the Compress utility to…

Monitor Mode is a feature exclusive to the Windows® version of the cMT Viewer application. It allows real time data to be displayed from up to 50 cMT servers simultaneously.
To download a project to a Maple Systems cMT via Ethernet you would use TCP Port 80.

Add a headless HMI to your control system, using one of the Ethernet ports to connect it to the corporate LAN. The headless HMI will collect data from the plant floor, translate it to Modbus and send it to the office computer.
In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called “clients”. This architecture is called the client–server model, and a single overall computation is distributed across multiple processes or devices. Servers can provide various functionalities, often called “services”, such as sharing data or resources among…
We have several remote access solutions and each one is different, but generally, all work in similar ways. Keep in mind that each remote access solution will work slightly differently and have their own set of features. Depending on your specific situation, there may be several remote access solution that will work, only you can decide what is best for your specific situation.
