What is Downloading?
Downloading is taking a project from the computer and putting it into the HMI.
Can my HMI be used as a Modbus Gateway?
Maple Systems cMT and HMI products can bridge the gap between your SCADA system and field devices. Using the HMI’s Modbus RTU/TCP Slave protocol, the Modbus Gateway provides a mechanism to connect the Modbus RTU/TCP Slave protocol to storage within the HMI or in a connected device. The SCADA system uses the Modbus TCP Master…

How do I move data from one PLC to another PLC?
You can use the Data Transfer object in EBPro to move data from a block of registers on one PLC connected to the Maple Systems HMI and write the data to a block of registers on another PLC connected to the HMI. This can also be accomplished with a macro using the GetData() and SetData()…
How do I transfer RW recipe data to a USB flash drive and back to the HMI using macros?
Recipe data can be transferred from RW memory to a USB flash drive or SD card with a macro and then restored back to the HMI with another macro. See the “Recipe Transfer (USB)” Sample project for an example of how to configure the macros in EBPro.

What is a Maple Systems HMI + PLC (HMC)?
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 be attached to the back of the unit. Utilized worldwide in diverse applications, an HMI + PLC offers lower costs,…
Define Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition ( SCADA )
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a control system architecture that uses computers, networked data communications and graphical user interfaces for high-level process supervisory management, but uses other peripheral devices such as programmable logic controller (PLC) and discrete PID controllers. We offer SCADA software Aveva Edge® as part of our automation solutions.
