The Online Simulator in EBPro has a built-in limit of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the Online Simulator will stop communicating with the PLC and the “Device no response” message will pop up. Simply close the simulator and restart it for another 10 minute session. Note: There is not a way to bypass or extend…
To get the HMI into portrait mode: First, make sure the HMI project was created in portrait mode. Second, go into the System Settings window on the HMI and make sure it is set to 90 degrees or 270 degrees orientation. Finally, cycle power on the HMI for the setting to take effect. Note: It…
Scaling analog inputs can be done using the Scale Function. The MAPware-7000 Getting Started Guide covers scaling an analog input in IEC mode.
The Data Logger available in the HMI + PLC (HMC) Series is used to record values of tags over time. Data is collected and stored in the HMI + PLC’s non-volatile memory or attached SD card and can be displayed on the HMI + PLC screen using the Historical Trend or Real Time Trend objects.…
Yes, the HMC2000, HMC3000, and the HMC4000 series have built-in web servers, accessible from any Internet web browser, allowing remote access to HMC data from a remote computer on the Ethernet network or, if exposed to the Internet, from anywhere in the world. A username and password are required, ensuring security. The screen is displayed…
In MAPware-7000, you can configure or define a screen to be one of the following: Base Screen: Create as many base screens as needed for your application. Use buttons or tasks to change from one screen to another. A base screen fills the entire area of the display. Pop-up Screen: A pop-up screen is displayed…
An integral part of the MAPware-7000 configuration software is the ability to create tasks. Tasks are pre-defined actions executed by the HMI + PLC (HMC) program. More than 50 different actions can be performed utilizing the Task feature. The number of tasks created is limited only by the total amount of available memory in the…
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…
The Debug feature is available in the Native Ladder programming mode in MAPware-7000 and provides various functions that can be helpful when troubleshooting the ladder logic in your HMI + PLC (HMC). A Debugger allows users to slow down the execution of a ladder logic sequence to a human time scale so that they can…
Yes. Our HMI+PLCs (HMC) support High-Speed Counters in MAPware-7000. See the specific Series IO Module guide for more information on which IO modules support High-Speed Counters (HSC) and what registers are used for configuration. Most supported IO modules offer 2 or 4 high speed inputs. Both quadrature and standard HSCs are supported. When using HSCs,…
The TON, also known as Timer ON, is an instruction used to keep track of time of occurrence of certain events. The conditions preceding the TON instruction will allow the timer to start counting up to a specified value. Refer to our sample project, TON Timer (IEC) that demonstrates how to implement a TON timer…
Yes. Our HMI+PLCs (HMC) support Pulse Width Modulation in MAPware-7000. See the specific Series IO Module guide for more information specifics on which IO modules support Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and what registers are used for configuration. Four modes of PWM are supported for most IO modules; Normal, Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise (CW/CCW), Pulse/Direction, and Trapezoidal (Fixed Pulse).…
