Headless HMI with Wi-Fi/EasyAccess License

The WiFi spec for the cMT-SVR-200 series is IEEE 802.11 b/g/n.

802.11b/g has a range up to 150 feet (can be affected by building materials).

802.11n has a range of up to 175 feet (can be affected by building materials).

So the range depends on whether the receiver uses b, g, or n.

So to be safe, the receiver should be located in the range of 150 to 175 feet of the cMT-SVR (but the range can be affected by the building materials used).

Yes! Maple Systems programming software is completely free of charge. This includes EBPro, MAPware-7000, and MapleLogic—our flagship software tools for HMI, HMI + PLC combo, or PLC programming and configuration. There are no licensing fees, subscriptions, or activation codes required to download, install, or use these programs. Creating a free account on the Maple Systems website is all that is required.

Whether you’re developing your first HMI project or configuring a complex control system, you can access the full functionality of our software without any cost.

Maple Systems is committed to providing cost-effective solutions for our customers, and offering free software is a core part of that mission. Updates are also free, and support resources—including user manuals, video tutorials, and US-based technical support—are available at no additional cost. This makes it easy for engineers, integrators, and OEMs to start building and maintaining projects right away, without worrying about hidden expenses or recurring fees.

Yes, you can replace the stock antenna with an aftermarket one. The antenna connector on the cMT-SVR is RPSMA Female.

Yes! Adding a cMT Display unit to your existing Headless HMI system gives you an easier view into your HMIs operations.

Maple Systems cMT HMIs support over +400 PLC and controller communication protocols, allowing our HMIs to communicate with most common devices. Our cMT HMIs also support protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus RTU, opening them up for use with a wide range of devices.

If you want to see the protocols that EBPro supports, visit our Controller Information Sheets page for more information. You can also download the EBPro software from our website for free, which includes simulation features. You can use these to test connections to your other devices before buying any hardware from Maple Systems.

CMT Viewer is a client application that enables users to view and control devices and screens quickly and easily. Only application data is exchanged between the HMI, acting as a server, and the client device. This client/server architecture offloads CPU intensive tasks such as rendering project graphics from the HMI to whatever client platform is used to connect to it.

To turn on Monitor Mode in cMT-Viewer:

1.    Click on the “gear” icon in the upper-right corner to open the Settings window.

2.       Click on the “More settings” lock icon and enter the password (default: 111111).

3.      Click on the General tab and turn on “Monitor mode.”

4.      Close the settings window.

5.      If you are currently logged in to an HMI, use the orange Start button in the upper-left corner of cMT-Viewer to minimize the view. You will see a small view of each HMI on the screen. If Monitor Mode has been enabled in the project on the HMI (System Parameters > General tab), Window 3 will appear in the Monitor view, otherwise it will show the startup window. (Note: If an HMI shows “Connecting” and doesn’t show Window 3, try connecting to it in EasyAccess 2.0 by clicking on the double-arrow icon.)

6.      Click on any HMI to view it in cMT-Viewer.

Yes. To turn automatic backup on 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, so there will always be three backup files saved with *.bak1 the most recent and *.bak3 the oldest.

Select Maple Systems HMI wifi models feature a wireless network connection (Wi-Fi) that allows users to connect to a local wireless access point or the Internet without using an Ethernet cable.

Tech Note 5121, “Wi-Fi Configuration” explains how to setup and connect your HMI to a Wi-Fi Network.

Yes. Maple Systems provides 100% free, US-based technical support for all customers. Our Support Center includes extensive documentation, tutorials, and resources.
