A compiled project file can be decompiled to extract the project file and create new library files for the embedded graphics. This will create a new .emtp or .cmtp (editable project file) that can be used in EBPro. There are 3 primary file types for project files used in EBPro:

There are many methods that can be used to set a string value to LW registers in an EasyBuilder Pro project. A useful method with a cMT series device is by using the Action Trigger object. Other methods include using a similar strategy with the Set Word objects, or even a Macro using the SetData command.

A layer 3 network switch operates at the Network Layer of the OSI model. Read more information about the OSI Model. Layer 3 network switches forward data based on IP addresses. Unlike layer 2 network switches, layer 3 switches route traffic between different subnets. These switches combine the features of a traditional router and a…
A layer 2 network switch operates at the Data Link Layer of the OSI model. Read more information about the OSI Model. Layer 2 network switches forward data based on MAC addresses. They are responsible for directing traffic within a local area network (LAN). Layer 2 switches do not inspect IP addresses, and their main…
The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is a reference model which describes seven layers of communication between computing systems over a network. These seven layers are as outlined: The OSI model was developed by the International Organization for Standardization. It describes the tasks required to transmit data via radio waves, light, or electricity.

A network switch is a networking appliance that connects multiple devices inside of a Local Area Network (LAN). It communicates by forwarding data based off MAC addresses. Typically switches operate at layer 2, data link layer, of the OSI model. However, they can operate at layer 3, network layer, which communicates by forwarding data based…
JavaScript is a computer programming language developed in 1995 by Brendan Eich. JavaScript is utilized in web developed along side industrial control systems such as EasyBuiler Pro for automation.
Yes. MapleLogic includes simulation modes that allow you to test your logic and communication before implementing your PLC project. For more information, check out our How to use the PLC Simulator and Online Edit in MapleLogic tutorial page, which includes step-by-step instructions, instructional video, and a sample project related to using simulation modes in MapleLogic.
In MapleLogic, registers store data used for control logic and operations. They hold values such as integers or bits. Registers are essential for monitoring inputs, and controlling outputs. Common register types include discrete, word, timer, counter, and floating-point.
MapleLogic utilizes logical control operations in a ladder diagram called a “rung”. Each rung contains inputs and outputs. Inputs are usually sensors, switches, or conditions that control output devices. Rungs evaluate from left to right activating outputs based off condition parameters.
MapleLogic is a software suite owned by Maple Systems Inc. It is a robust programming software for Maple Systems Micro and Modular PLCs. It programs PLCs to communicate to sensors, switches, motors, HMIs, and more over serial or ethernet. MapleLogic utilizes Ladder Diagram, a graphical programming language, which place logic elements onto rungs on a…
