The analog inputs can be configured for Type J or K only, with two config. Values for each for displaying the read value in C or F temp scale. These values can be loaded into the Analog Input Configuration Registers MWnn60-MWnn63, where “nn” is the slot number and “60-63” designates the config register for the…

See section “HMI Operation” in the EBPro Programming Manual. System bits LB-9047 – “reboot HMI (set ON when LB-9048 is on)” and LB-9048 “reboot-HMI protection” can be toggled on either through use of a macro if triggered externally, the scheduler if time-based, or manually using Set Bit objects.

May be related to the DPI setting on the Windows PC. Set it to “Smaller – 100%.”
In order to open a MAPware7000 project, you will need both the .mpl project file and the folder with the same name (which will be in the same directory that the project was saved when it was created).
PLW and PLB memory cannot be used in macros. This is because macros only run on the host and do not run in separate instances on each of the clients.

Once you convert your Standard HMI project to a cMT project, or create a new cMT project, it is not possible to convert back to a Standard HMI model. However, Standard HMI projects can be converted to cMT projects.

Setting up communication between a Maple Systems HMI and Maple Systems PLC is easy. We created a step by step tutorial showing you how to set up Modbus RTU and TCP communications.
There was an issue that cropped up in older versions of EBPro that caused the UNICODE selection in ASCII objects to not work. This has been fixed in EBPro v6.04.02.552 or later versions. The latest version of EBPro can be downloaded from our website at: EBPro Full Version

This is the specific purpose of the cMT Gateway devices, but the HMIs and other cMTs can also perform this action in a different way. In EBPro you can use the Macro feature with the GETDATA() and SETDATA() functions to fetch the data from one tag or address range on one device and write it…

The HMC requires a USB drive that is no larger than 32GB. If the drive is larger than that, it can get stuck forever trying to read the drive.
If you are attempting to download to an HMI/PLC and the download manager displays “”Device not responding””, check that the physical connection between the HMC and PC is secure. If using Ethernet, make sure the PC can connect to the HMC by “PINGing” the IP address of the HMC. If using USB, confirm that “HMI…
