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…
Downloading is taking a project from the computer and putting it into the HMI.
To download a project to a Maple Systems cMT via Ethernet you would use TCP Port 80.

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 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…
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.”
Refer to Tech Note 5077, “IP Addresses of an HMI and a PLC” on how to set the IP address of the Maple Systems HMI, set the IP address of the PC, change the setting on the Internet Protocol dialog box, and setup and configuration settings. Note that configuring IP addresses while connected to an…
There is no limit on the number of Time-based (Global) Data Transfers you can have in a project. However, the more you have, the more overhead it requires of the CPU, which can affect the performance of the HMI.

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,…
EasyAccess 2.0 uses TCP Port 443.
