Can I access my HMI from a remote network location?

Yes. Our HMIs support remote access features via the EasyAccess 2.0 application. EasyAccess provides a simple built-in solution for creating a secure VPN connection to a remote network, which will allow you to monitor and control your HMI from anywhere in the world.

Once the VPN tunnel has been established, the HMI can be accessed using the cMT Viewer application included with EBPro, or through VNC client software.

Using the EasyAccess 2.0 application does require a one-time license activation fee, which allows for 3 GB of monthly high-speed data at no additional cost. Our HMIs can also be purchased with a pre-activated license for EasyAccess 2.0 already installed.

Maple Systems remote access from anywhere in the world - EasyAccess2.0
How do I implement EasyAccess 2.0 on my Maple Systems HMI?Implementing EasyAccess 2.0 is easy. For complete instructions, refer to the EasyAccess 2.0 Manual available in our Support Center. Step 1: Create Domain Account:

An HMI must belong to a domain in order to use EasyAccess 2.0. Anyone can create a new domain for free, all you need is a valid e-mail address. The Domain Management System is the basic system used to organize and handle HMI’s under a particular domain.

An Administrator then runs the domain and adds users and HMIs to the domain. To create a new domain go to the EasyAccess 2.0 Domain Management System (DMS) website (https://account.ihmi.net). Step 2: Manage Your Domain:

When you create a domain account, you become the domain’s administrator. It’s the administrator’s responsibility to create new user accounts and to assign HMIs to specific users and HMI groups. Your domain can contain multiple HMIs, groups, and users.

Step 3: Activation:

In order to use EasyAccess 2.0, you must activate the HMI in the domain. Some HMIs have EasyAccess 2.0 pre-installed and some require purchasing an activation card.

For HMIs requiring an activation card: The HMI can be activated by purchasing an activation card from Maple Systems. The activation code (from the activation card) and the hardware key are required to activate EasyAccess 2.0 in these units. The HMI’s hardware key is located in the HMI’s system settings window. Select the EasyAccess 2.0 tab and locate the 30 digit hardware key. You may also find it on Window 76 – EasyAccess 2.0 Setting. Select “Add HMI” in the domain and enter the hardware key and activation code. When an HMI is activated by an activation code, it is automatically added to the domain under which it was activated. Open window 76 – “EasyAccess 2.0 Setting” on the HMI. With the HMI connected to the Internet, push the Start button to initiate the connection to the EasyAccess 2.0 server. For HMIs with EasyAccess 2.0 pre-installed: The HMI can be activated by obtaining a Session ID and Password from the domain. Open window 76 – “EasyAccess 2.0 Setting.” With the HMI connected to the Internet, push the Start button to initiate the connection to the EasyAccess 2.0 server. If the HMI has not been assigned to a domain yet, a Session ID and Password will be assigned to the HMI and appear on window 76. Select “Add HMI” in the domain and enter the Session ID and Password. It should now be added to the domain. Step 4: Download and Launch EasyAccess 2.0:

Download the EasyAccess 2.0 app on your PC/ iPad/ iPhone/ Android Tablet, Launch EasyAccess 2.0, enter the User ID and password. Once logged in, the program will list all HMIs assigned to this ID including all HMIs under an HMI group. Select an HMI and establish a remote connection. You can now monitor any HMI in your HMI list.

How can EasyAccess 2.0 help my business save money and reduce downtime?Maple Systems and EasyAccess 2.0 can help your business by:

Saving Money: EasyAccess 2.0 reduces travel costs including gas, airfare, and overnight hotel accommodations. It reduces the cost of man-hours paid to send personnel onsite for troubleshooting and repair, as well as reduces the number of pricey technical support phone calls. But most of all, EasyAccess 2.0 will reduce the (very) expensive cost of downtime at the plant.

Facilitating Troubleshooting: With EasyAccess 2.0, you can easily monitor and troubleshoot HMIs/PLCs from a remote location as long as an Internet connection exists. EasyAccess 2.0 manages all network settings and security issues so the user simply connects to the HMI as if they were on the local network. Instantaneously view screens or implement updates to an HMI project or PLC. Change what is seen on screen LIVE by the operator or update the project without disrupting what the operator is doing.

Reducing Down Time: Time is money. With EasyAccess 2.0 you can bring the plant up faster, minimizing expensive downtime. Consider a machine builder who sells machines with Maple HMIs installed. If a customer reports an issue, the machine builder remotely connects to the HMI using EasyAccess 2.0 and investigates the problem. He can quickly review and update the HMI project, monitor the PLC using Pass-Through mode, and even update the PLC program. With EasyAccess 2.0, you’ll enjoy the ability to resolve your problem almost as quickly as it occurs.

However, if you’re unable to find what you need, our technical support team is ready to assist. You can reach our technicians by phone at (425) 745-3229 or by email at [email protected].

How long can an HMI hold its program while powered off?

The program will be retained for the lifespan of the HMI. The program is stored in the non-volatile flash memory (solid state memory), which can last anywhere from 10 years to 100 years, depending on how many times the user writes to it.

What are the benefits of adding Wi-Fi to my Factory?Some benefits of implementing a Wi-Fi network in your factory include:

Costs by Creating a Wireless Network: Wi-Fi can solve applications where wiring is impractical or too expensive. There’s no need to run expensive Ethernet or Serial cables throughout your plant. Add a Wi-Fi router to your network and you’re ready to go.

Flexibility in Communications and Troubleshooting: Use a Wi-Fi enabled laptop to troubleshoot your machines without having to find a network access point or carry around extra cables.

Ease of Expandability: Aside from the initial ease of setup for a Wi-Fi network, wireless networks can serve a suddenly-increased number of clients with the existing equipment. In a wired network, additional clients would require additional wiring.

Maple Systems has a variety of Wi-Fi solutions that include HMIs, Servers, Gateways, and Industrial PCs.
