OPC UA (Unified Architecture) is the next generation of OPC, featuring cross-platform interoperability, high security, and proven reliability. Developed by the OPC Foundation, it is a machine to machine communication protocol for the industrial automation industry and retains all the core functions of OPC, effectively reducing the cost of system integration and allowing for data…
cMT HMIs can be broken into several different categories – DIN rail mounted cMT Servers with no built-in touchscreen that can be hidden away in control cabinets, and panel-mounted touchscreen cMT HMIs that offer the standard stationary HMI interface that operators are used to. We also have cMT Web HMIs for plug and play ease, and cMT Display only units when an extra screen is
The HMI can be configured to operate in Pass-Through mode. In this mode, a PC can connect to the PLC through the HMI. The Utility Manager is used to configure Pass-Through operation. See Tech Note 5047, “Using Pass-Through Mode” for more information.

There is no recurring annual fee with EasyAccess 2.0. It is a one time purchase.
Remote access allows you to reach an HMI or connected device anytime, from anywhere. With our EBPro HMI configuration software and supported hardware solutions, you can connect to an HMI or Gateway device from a tablet, smartphone, or PC. As a result, you can view all data and applications and control the system as if you were standing in front of it.

The OPC UA server feature “license” is included in the cMT Gateways and High-Performance HMIs. It is available as an add-on option for select Headless HMI installations. Advanced HMIs can act as an OPC UA Client, but do not support OPC UA Server functionality. OPC UA licenses are purchased through Maple Systems.
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 cMT iV…
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…
