Yes, our headless (without an integrated display) units are fully functional HMIs. Utilizing EBPro software, you can configure the headless device to communicate with your PLC/controller the same way you would program any Maple Systems HMI. If a display is required, a Windows® PC, Apple or Android smart device, or one of our Web HMI’s…
The Pass-Through Mode allows communications from the PC to the PLC, through the HMI. This can eliminate the need to disconnect the PLC from the HMI when it is necessary to configure the HMI or PLC. Pass-through mode is only available on HMIs with an Ethernet port. See Tech Note 5047, “Using Pass-Through Mode” for…
With EasyAccess 2.0, only live data (no graphics) is communicated across the network between the local HMI and the remote device, preserving bandwidth and enabling faster data transfer.
We have both Advanced HMIs and High-Performance cMT models with built-in Wi-Fi functionality. The Wi-Fi models can connect directly to a Wireless Network. All other models require an Ethernet connection to a wireless router be added to the local network before they can be access wirelessly from smart devices such as Apple or Android phones…
OPC UA is a communication protocol supported by many SCADA, MES, and ERP software providers. OPC UA uses a Client/Server architecture. This protocol has built-in security with signed and encrypted data transfer using state-of-the-art encryption algorithms. Data is organized into objects, making it easy to access and quickly understand what the data represents, and how…
Select Maple Systems’ HMIs without a display is a great solution if you need a gateway between your control system and the supervisor’s office. Many MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), SCM (Supply Chain Management), and MRP (Material Requirements Planning) software does not support the myriad of communication drivers used in industrial PLCs,…
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet.
