Can I pair a Maple HMI with a Maple PLC?

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 (EBPro). Tags can be exported and imported in both directions.

Is there an Audio feature on my HMI?

Yes, most Maple Systems HMI units have a transducer capable of sounding beeps. Select models have standard line-level output for driving amplified speakers via a standard 1/8-inch mini connector to play .wav files (review product specifications for model compatibility). This is useful for playing alert sounds when an alarm or event is triggered. Audio files…

What is Pass-Through Mode?

The Pass-Through Mode allows communications from the PC to the PLC, through the HMI. This can eliminate the need to disconnect the PLC from the HMI when it is necessary to configure the HMI or PLC. Pass-through mode is only available on HMIs with an Ethernet port. See Tech Note 5047, “Using Pass-Through Mode” for…

Do the Maple Systems HMI+PLCs (HMC) support Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)?

Yes. Our HMI+PLCs (HMC) support Pulse Width Modulation in MAPware-7000. See the specific Series IO Module guide for more information specifics on which IO modules support Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and what registers are used for configuration. Four modes of PWM are supported for most IO modules; Normal, Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise (CW/CCW), Pulse/Direction, and Trapezoidal (Fixed Pulse).…
