Yes, MAPware-7000 lets you create up to 255 alarms in HMI + PLC (HMC) projects and display them in either a real-time or historical window. Real-time alarms display when certain events in your process occur and show the current status of a process. When real-time alarms are triggered, they remain on the display window until…

RoHS, Restriction of Hazardous Substances, is a directive that originated in the European Union that restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in electronic products. A product must be RoHS compliant to qualify for the CE mark. All Maple Systems HMI, HMI + PLC, PLC, and Panel and Box PC, Network Switches, Monitors, Web HMIs,…
Remote access allows you to reach an HMI or connected device anytime, from anywhere. With our EBPro HMI configuration software and supported hardware solutions, you can connect to an HMI or Gateway device from a tablet, smartphone, or PC. As a result, you can view all data and applications and control the system as if you were standing in front of it.

Yes, you can change the brightness by adjusting the backlight on the HMI. There is a brightness control in the System Settings window on the HMI. In addition, you can use system register LW-9040 to adjust the brightness (range 0-31) or system bits LB-9040 and LB-9041 to adjust the brightness up and down, respectively.

Allen-Bradley MicroLogix series / SLC500 series PLCs have some specific addressing format requirements for select memory locations (Bit-level and Strings, for example). Both drivers (Serial and Ethernet) follow these rules: Bit-level objects must reference the bit position to two digits! Bit 0 is 00, bit 9 is 09. For example, B3 memory, word 5, bit…

Keypads and keyboards are part of the template files included with EBPro, beginning on Window 50. When starting a new project in EBPro, make sure the “Use template” option is checked on the “New Project” window when selecting the HMI model to use. Keypads can be added or removed from the project in the System…
Quadrature encoders are used to measure both the speed and direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) of a device. Each encoder has two tracks, A and B (thus two inputs are required), that are 90° out of phase, which enable it to provide accurate position information. It will count up when phase A precedes, and count down…
There could be several reasons why your Industrial Panel PC (OMI) has a blank screen. First, verify that the unit is getting power and that the power cord is securely plugged in at all points. Secondly, restart the OMI or Panel PC by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then click the power button located in the bottom corner…

A barcode (also bar code) is an optical, machine-readable, representation of data; the data usually describes something about the object that carries the barcode. Traditional barcodes systematically represent data by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D) or Aztec Code or QR Code (2D).
