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()…
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.
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.
OMI is the prefix for one of Maple Systems’ Industrial Panel PC series. This affordable robust, low-profile Panel PC series is an exceptional value and will run third party SCADA software. With 17 models to choose from, you can configure your selection based on your screen size (7”~21.5”), required processing power (Intel Atom, Celeron, or…
RAID 1 writes and reads identical data to pairs of drives. This process is often called data mirroring and it’s a primary function is to provide redundancy. If any of the disks in the array fails, the system can still access data from the remaining disk(s). Once the faulty disk is replaced with a new…

In control systems, protocol is the language the components use to communicate. Example protocols include Profinet and Modbus.
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…
Wide area network (WAN) is a telecommunications network or computer network that extends over a large geographical distance/place. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits, connecting multiple smaller networks like local area networks (LANs) and metro area networks (MANs). Unlike a LAN, which is confined to a single building or location, a…
The Combo button allows multiple actions including set bit, set word, change window, and execute macro to be performed with a single press of a button. It also displays the state of a bit or word register.
As one of the five programming languages defined by the IEC 61131-3 standard, our HMI+PLC (HMC) and PLC (MLC) configuration software MAPware-7000 supports the Structured Text (ST) editor. The Structured Text editor is a text-based editor similar to text-based programming languages such as C/C++ or Visual Basic. Logical operations are created by combining variable names…
