7.0" High-Resolution High Performance HMI

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.

Our HMIs come equipped with the standard communication ports that you would expect to find in an industrial control device. Ethernet, serial, and USB ports are present on our HMIs, allowing connections to hundreds of different devices.

As an example, the cMT3162X (V2) includes two ethernet ports, two serial ports, and a USB port for device connection. Dual-ethernet models such as the cMT3162X include two separate ethernet ports, one for local devices, and the other for internet communication.

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.

Yes. Maple Systems HMIs are compatible with a wide range of peripheral devices such as printers, barcode scanners, cameras, keyboards, mice, flash storage drives, and more. For projects using multiple USB devices at once, a USB hub can expand a single USB port into many, allowing several devices to connect simultaneously.

Note: USB ports on Maple HMIs do not support charging for mobile phones, tablets, or unpowered speakers. The USB ports on our HMIs are for data storage or keyboard/mouse connection only. Using the ports in a manner inconsistent with their documented purpose can potentially damage the device.

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.

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.

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.

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.

EBPro can help you secure your project in several ways. The EBPro software can create and manage access for user accounts, add password protection to project files, and restrict decompilation to protect your IP. Designers can add access levels to individual objects on screen, and may disable or hide these objects when the current user should not have access. Here are just a few of the other security features you can find within EBPro for our cMT HMIs:

• Centralized User Account Control (UAC) using a remote HMI
• External UAC database support
• Secure USB key generation
• TLS or SSL encryption for email notifications
• Password protection for HMI System Settings

Maple HMIs are certified to operate in some of the most challenging environmental conditions in the world. With models certified by UL, IP, NEMA, RoHS, CE, ATEx, C1D2, and more, there is a Maple HMI for nearly any situation or environment. For more information about certifications for hazardous environments and the organizations who issue them, please visit the Certifications section of our 10 Things to Consider When Buying an HMI page.

The vast majority of features in EBPro do not need additional licensing, but a few situations may require a license fee to activate specific functions.

For features like our built-in CODESYS runtime, OPC/UA messaging, or the EasyAccess 2.0 VPN service, users must pay a one-time activation fee to enable these functions on the HMI.

For the EasyAccess 2.0 application, which enables remote access features on your Maple HMI, the standard license includes up to 3 GB of monthly high-speed data at no extra charge. If the monthly data limit has been reached, top-up cards may be purchased to add additional bandwidth as needed.

If you know that you will need one of the features mentioned above before making a purchase, Maple Systems does offer HMI options that come with pre-activated licensing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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].

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.
