There is no limit on the number of Time-based (Global) Data Transfers you can have in a project. However, the more you have, the more overhead it requires of the CPU, which can affect the performance of the HMI.

Yes, our Maple Systems brand Micro PLCs and Modular PLCs use our free PLC programming software (MapleLogic) and can easily integrate with our HMI/cMT products via ethernet or serial cables, using common communication protocols such as a MODBUS TCP/IP or MODBUS RTU. This Tutorial will step you through how to Set Up your Maple PLC…

MAPware-7000 provides multiple security options depending on the HMI + PLC (HMC) series that include custom Access Levels, Protecting Project Screens, and Password Protections. The Access Level feature available on the HMC2000 and HMC4000 Series allows you to create users and passwords assigned to different access levels. These levels can then be assigned to screens…
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…
If the HMI fails to send an email, first press the “Test SMTP Settings” button in the EBPro System Parameters e-Mail tab to confirm that the SMTP settings are correct. If it successfully sends an email from your PC, but not from the HMI, verify that the HMI is connected to a network that has…
Type of management software used to track and document the transformation of raw materials into finished goods in real time.
Remote HMI = RMI. Maple Systems RMI model is “remote” in the fact that the monitoring/control element is physically separated from the display. The RMI model is an HMI with no display that converts any compatible TV or monitor into a Status Display Station in which the HMI data is displayed via an HDMI® cable.…
Many PLCs have actual, physical memory locations that can be referenced. Not so with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix PLCs. They use symbolic Tags, which means the tag file needs to be imported into EBPro in order to reference any PLC address / variable. Define the PLC by going to the System Parameters Device tab. Click…
Trending is the act of taking data and showing it visually, usually via a graph. Data Sampling / aka Data Logging is the act of logging data from a device, the logged data is often shown in a Trend display. The relationship between Data Sampling and Trending is intertwined. The Trend Display Object in EBPro…

Most I/O modules require a separate +24VDC power supply connection. See the appropriate Series I/O Module Guide to locate this connection on a specific I/O module. Analog inputs and outputs require writing a value to a corresponding configuration register to program the I/O for 4-20 mA, 0-10V, RTD, etc. Although there is a Configuration option…
All of our Industrial PCs comply with FCC (Federal Communications Commission) Part 15, which regulates radiation from an electronic device. Individual FCC Certificates can be found on each products individual page.
At the risk of oversimplifying things, Technical Support is the assistance in our product features and functionality, including things such as ‘how a feature works’, ‘how to set-up a unit’, or ‘troubleshooting communication’. As with all technical questions, the user should first refer to the User Manual, Tech Notes, Help Instructions, or Sample Projects located…
