Microsoft® SCCM relies on systems’ SMBIOS UUID for identification over a network connection. In consumer grade desktop systems and servers, it is standard practice for every system to have a unique SMBIOS UUID assigned by the manufacturer. However, that is not the case for Industrial PCs. The issue of identical SMBIOS UUIDs can be addressed…
You can use the Data Transfer object in EBPro to move data from a block of registers on one PLC connected to the Maple Systems HMI and write the data to a block of registers on another PLC connected to the HMI. This can also be accomplished with a macro using the GetData() and SetData()…
In the HMI configuration software, Local and Remote refer to the answer to this question: “Am I going through another HMI besides this one to get PLC variables?” If Yes, then the PLC is to be configured as a Remote PLC. If No, then the PLC is a Local PLC for the purposes of the…
Definitely. Simply connect your Maple Systems cMT-SVR to a wireless router and download the cMT Viewer app to a Windows® PC with “Wi-Fi.”
Yes, refer to Tech Note 5110, “Dual Ethernet Models” for a summary of our best practices when setting up a Maple Systems Dual Ethernet HMI. Refer to Security chapter of the EBPro Programming Manual for additional information that may be useful.
Maple Systems cMT and HMI products can bridge the gap between your SCADA system and field devices. Using the HMI’s Modbus RTU/TCP Slave protocol, the Modbus Gateway provides a mechanism to connect the Modbus RTU/TCP Slave protocol to storage within the HMI or in a connected device. The SCADA system uses the Modbus TCP Master…
In EBPro, click on the File menu and select Preferences. On the Project tab, check the “Generate backup of project file before save” option. This will create a backup of your project any time you save it with a *.bak1 extension. Subsequent saves will rename the backup file with a *.bak2 and finally *.bak3 extension,…
To download a project to a Maple Systems cMT via Ethernet you would use TCP Port 80.
Yes, the OITs connect together in a daisychain fashion. One of the OITs is designated as the ‘master’ while the other OITs are defined as ‘slaves’. The master OIT is directly connected to the PLC communications port. Each slave OIT then communicates through the master OIT to get data from the PLC. No additional communications…
You can use the Data Transfer object in EBPro to move data from a block of registers in one area of memory and write the data to a block of registers in another area of memory in the Maple Systems HMI. This can also be accomplished with a macro using the GetData() and SetData() instructions.
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. It allows you to access devices on a remote network as though you were on the same…
After adding a new recipient to your project in EBPro, make sure the “Use existing contact settings on HMI first (if existed)” option is NOT selected in the System Parameters e-Mail tab. If it is selected, then the updates to the recipient list will not be downloaded to the HMI.
