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.

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.

I’ve never used EBPro before. How long will it take me to learn how to program my HMI?

The free EBPro software design maximizes functionality while maintaining user-friendliness. In many cases our customers are able to get up to speed and create their first project within 24 hours.

For new users who want to accelerate their learning process, our EBPro HMI Software Training Series has you covered. This series breaks down multiple topics into small, easy-to-understand sections so you can learn at your own pace. You can view individual videos based on the topic, or view the entire series in a YouTube playlist.

The EBPro Programming Manual provides full descriptions of the software’s features, and is an excellent resource for users of all skill levels. We also offer the EBPro Quick Start Guide, which contains information for new users when getting started with Maple Systems devices.

Can Maple Systems HMIs store and use recipe data?

Yes. You can use the recipe database in EBPro to store, edit, and execute recipes for repetitive processes. Maple HMIs reserve retentive memory specifically for recipe data, ensuring that it stays in memory after power-cycling the unit.

Does Maple Systems offer technical support?

Yes. Maple Systems provides 100% free, US-based technical support for all customers. Our Support Center includes extensive documentation, tutorials, and resources. 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 to clean an HMI screen Resistive touchscreen surface material is PET (polyethylene terephthalate, also called polyester). Capacitive touchscreen surface material is tempered glass. Both surfaces can be cleaned with the following method.

  1. Using a cleaning solution of 75% alcohol or 1:100 diluted bleach, spray the solution on a dry cloth.
  2. Gently wipe the HMI’s screen.


Note: Avoid spraying the solution directly onto the HMI.

Are Maple Systems PLCs compatible with my HMI?

Maple Systems PLCs are compatible with any HMI that supports the industry-standard Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus RTU protocols. This includes every Maple Systems HMI that we sell, as well as hundreds of other third-party devices.

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.

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.
Can I automatically back up my projects in EBPro?

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.

Can I expand the HMI’s storage memory capacity?

Yes. Maple HMIs support storage expansion through external HDD, USB flash drive, or SD card, depending on the HMI model.

External HDD: Maple Systems products support USB 2.0 external hard disk drives, so long as the HDD is powered with its own power supply.

USB Flash Drive: Maple Systems products support a maximum capacity of 32GB. USB drives must be formatted as FAT32.

SD Card: Maple Systems products support a maximum SD card capacity of 4GB (32GB capacity with SDHC card). SD and SDHC Cards must be formatted as FAT32. SDXC cards are not supported.

I have pre-existing tags that I use for device communication. Can I import my tags into EBPro?

Yes. EBPro makes it easy to import your device tags, with the entire process requiring only a few clicks in most cases. Device tags can be imported into EBPro through the System Parameters, or through the Address Tag Library using formats such as CSV or XLS.

Can this HMI communicate with my PLC?

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.
