Converting from a RMI5001 to a cMT-FHDX-820
Converting from your RMI5001 is quick and easy, giving you several key hardware and software upgrades along the way.
Decompiling Format Error in EasyBuilder 5000
Different models of HMI are available in different versions of EB5000. We have several versions of EB5000 available to download for free on our website. If you get a format error when trying to decompile a project file, you can try installing a newer version of the EB5000 software and decompiling the project file. The…
Why am I experiencing a compile error in Window 8: “Unsupported system tag LB-9036: SD card free space insufficiency alarm (when ON)”?
When compiling a project that was originally created in an older version of EBPro, this error will occur if the model that was selected when the project was originally created does not support SD cards. This is due to a change that was implemented in EBPro: Version 6.05.01. With this change, if the originally selected…
Are EBPro projects backwards compatible with older versions of EBPro and EZwarePlus?
EBPro projects are not backwards compatible with EZwarePlus or older versions of EBPro. Newer versions of EBPro will save a copy of the project created in an older version when it is modified. This older copy will have the version number of the older software appended to it and will be saved to the same…

What is EZwarePlus? EZware-5000?
EZwarePlus and Ezware-5000 are Maple Systems’ legacy configuration software programs that many of our older and legacy Graphic HMIs used. Our newest software, EBPro is backward compatible in many cases. Refer to our Tech Notes for upgrade and conversion information.
Can I pair an Advanced HMI with a Gateway Products?
Yes, adding a Gateway with Serial or Ethernet bridge can upgrade your existing controller and touch panel without the need for modifying the PLC and HMI projects, adding all the functionality of our High-Performance Series to your existing system. With the IIoT protocols: MQTT and OPC UA built-in, Maple Systems Gateway products can easily fit…

I have an old HMI5070TH. What should I upgrade to?
When considering which particular HMI to replace your HMI5070TH, please note that not all replacement models are identical. Refer to Tech Note 5116, “Converting from the HMI5070TH to a new 7″ HMI” or visit our Solutions/Upgrade Your Legacy Project page on our website for more information on the differences between upgrade options. You will also…

Can I pair a Maple Systems HMI with a cMT-SVRX model?
Yes, pairing an HMI with a cMT-SVRX unit will add additional functionality that the Standard HMI doesn’t have on its own. Our HMIs have a built-in touchscreen to provide feedback and allow input from on-site personnel for standard HMI functions. If you are interested in some of the features available only in the Advanced or…

I have an old HMI5104TH. What should I upgrade to?
Maple Systems offers several HMIs that provide an upgrade path for your HMI5104TH. For almost all conversions, the transition requires little effort. When considering which particular HMI to replace your HMI5104TH, please note that not all replacement models are identical. Any of our 10.1″ HMI’s are a replacement option. You’ll also need our 1420-5002 Adaptor Plate to help the new HMI fit in the existing panel cutout. The HMI5104TH was a 10.4″ screen

How do I calibrate an HMI touchscreen?
To calibrate Maple Systems HMIs with four DIP switches on the back: Turn DIP switch 1 to the ON position and cycle power on the HMI. This will cause it to boot into calibration mode. Don’t forget to turn the DIP switch back OFF when completed. Other methods of Calibration: Locate the DIP switches behind…
I converted my project from a legacy product and the fonts in my project look funny now?
Anytime you convert a project from a legacy software to a newer version there is a risk that your fonts may no longer be supported in the new software. When an EasyBuilder-500 project is converted to EasyBuilder-5000 using the Translate tool, the HMI500 fonts can be used to maintain the look of the original project.…
