An HMI is allowed up to 1GB of data per month at a data rate of 100 KB/s. Once you have reached the 1GB limit, the data rate drops down to 5 KB/s. To show the data being used by the HMI, enable “Show all HMI Network traffic” in the EasyAccess 2.0 app’s Settings window.…
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a communications protocol that is primarily used for establishing low-latency and loss-tolerating connections between applications on the internet. It speeds up transmissions by enabling the transfer of data before an agreement is provided by the receiving party. As a result, UDP is beneficial in time-sensitive communications, UDP is an alternative…
EasyAccess 2.0 uses a VPN which establishes a virtual private network over the public Internet to securely transmit encrypted data to your internal network. Doing so ensures the same security and reliability you’ve come to expect when transmitting online banking data. Features include: SSL 128-bit Encrypted Tunnel Supports Log-In Authentication Supports PC/Panel PC/Android Tablet/iPad Proxy…

The Enhanced or Basic security feature can indeed be used to control object visibility, as select objects can be hidden for different access levels. Object visibility an also be controlled based on the status of a bit, which can be configured on the Security tab in the object attributes window.
The Time-based Data Transfer Object (Global) is restricted when transferring bits. It can only transfer bits from a PLC to the HMI. It cannot transfer bits from the HMI to a PLC and therefore will not allow you to select a PLC for the Destination address. You can, however, transfer words from the HMI to…
Don’t forget your terminating resistors! Both ends of the CAN bus should be terminated with 120O resistors. Forgetting the resistors can result in signal reflection which will corrupt the data packet and ultimately result in no data. IMPORTANT NOTE: HMI5070P has built-in termination resistor, so a termination resistor is only required for the opposite end…

The WiFi spec for the cMT-SVR-200 series is IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. 802.11b/g has a range up to 150 feet (can be affected by building materials). 802.11n has a range of up to 175 feet (can be affected by building materials). So the range depends on whether the receiver uses b, g, or n. So to…

There is a touchscreen calibration procedure that you should run when connecting a new touchscreen to the cMT-FHDX. Log on to the cMT-FHDX from your web browser by entering
the IP address of the cMT in the URL field. This will open the WebView window.

A VESA mount is a standard hole pattern that allows HMIs, displays, industrial monitors, and panel PCs to be securely attached to mounts or arms. Most Maple Systems devices use either a 75×75 mm or 100×100 mm VESA pattern (check your model’s datasheet for exact details). Compatible mounting options include fixed wall mounts, swivel/tilt brackets, desk arms, and heavy-duty industrial arms, as long as they match the device’s VESA pattern and weight requirements.
The recipe data can be exported as a .db file, from within the Recipe Database manager in EBPro. The exported recipe database can be opened in your preferred database browser to browse and/or update the recipe data tables. The updated recipe database can then be imported again, from within the Recipe Database Manager in EBPro.

In EBPro v6.05.01.565, a variable check is performed when saving and compiling a Macro. This check will trigger a “warning W2: variable not initialized.” for each ‘declared’ variable in the macro which has not been ‘initialized’. After a variable has been defined, you can give it a value (in a separate statement) using the = operator.…
