PLC Overview
Control. Functional. Affordable.
Programmable Logic Controllers
Our Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) offer position control, PWM, PID with auto-tuning, High-Speed Counter (HSC), and more features to aid you in your control’s solution.
Get your control system up and running in no time with our easy-to-implement PLCs. These controllers provide high-level performance and reliability for industrial automation applications and use our free PLC programming software which utilizes easy-to-use Ladder Logic, Function Blocks, Instruction Lists, or other functions to fit your application. With advanced built-in features such as PID control, high speed counter (HSC), input filtering, and periodic interrupts, these PLCs will work for almost any project.
Micro Series
Maple Systems Micro PLCs are compact logic controllers for small-scale applications that require less than 36 Inputs and Outputs and are extremely cost effective. Compact and cost-effective “smart relay” programmable logic controller for small applications that require powerful performance and uncompromising reliability.
Modular Series
Our Modular PLC line was created for a wide range of applications capable of adapting to your specific needs. With 15 I/O modules to choose from, configure a combination of I/O modules to fit your application, making these scalable PLCs and I/O ideal for your complex solutions. Expandable up to 384 Digital/Analog Inputs/Outputs.
PLC Programming Software
MapleLogic is our free configuration software used to program our PLCs. Create projects hassle-free by utilizing the tools and features included in our user-friendly software. Streamline the creation of specialized programs by using our Special Configuration programs. These programs reduce the hassle of creating your own PID Control, High-Speed Counter (HSC), Positioning, IO Filtering, and Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) programs and allow you to spend your time more efficiently.
MapleLogic Key Features:
Built in Simulator to Demo Project Live
Test and troubleshoot your project using the simulator in MapleLogic before downloading to your physical PLC.
Cross Reference Tag Tool/Find & Replace
Helpful tools to quickly identify where your registers are being used and replace them when organizing your programs.
Built in Trend Display for Live Data Monitoring
Use trend displays to monitor data registers in real-time when connected to your PLC.
Auto-Detection for Modulars and Expansions
Auto detects attached expansion modules and adds them to your MapleLogic project.
PID with Auto-Tuning
Use the PID controller program to maintain desired processing values and use the helpful auto-tuning feature to quickly determine the best parameters for your given operation.
Custom Function Blocks
Create customized function blocks that can be easily implemented throughout your project to enhance clarity by simplifying complex logic instructions.
On-Line Editing
Live editing! It does not stop your project and no need to restart.
PLC Communications
Our PLCs can function seamlessly as both native slave and master devices through Modbus RTU and TCP/IP protocols. This flexibility simplifies the setup process, automatically assigning Modbus addresses to device addresses, reducing configuration errors and time.
To establish communication, connect your device, configure the channel to reference our PLC, and specify the Modbus address. You can verify communication status, or PLC connection, using the diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel of our PLCs.
Connect to a Maple Systems HMI
Easily integrate Maple Systems PLCs with the rest of our automation products such as our HMI/cMT products via ethernet or serial cables, using common communication protocols such as MODBUS TCP/IP or MODBUS RTU. Our PLCs easily integrate with most other industrial automation brands and SCADA system equipment if needed via common industry communication protocols.
