HMI Remote I/O

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to connect a Maple Systems HMI to an OPC UA setup. We’ll cover project initialization, importing OPC UA tags into an HMI project, and connecting your HMI to OPC UA as both a client and as a server.

How to integrate cameras with a Maple Systems HMI using EBPro to provide real-time machine visualization and troubleshooting support. Configure camera connections, build an HMI project, and display live video feeds for applications such as jam detection, label verification, and operator monitoring.

Learn how a Maple Systems HMI can act as the control point for an Andon system without using a PLC. You will see how the HMI communicates with remote I/O over Modbus TCP to drive red, yellow, and green stack lights. This sample project shows how to configure both EBPro and EasyRemote I/O for a simple PLC-less architecture.

This sample project, and subsequent tutorial, walks through how to configure an RFID reader and build a secure RFID scanning project on a Maple Systems HMI using EBPro. You’ll learn how to connect and configure the reader, enable smart-card user login, display RFID tag data, and use HMI security to control access to RFID functions.

Use the Maple Systems PLC Protocol Drivers in EBPro to connect a Maple Systems HMI to a Maple Systems PLC. Configuration steps in EBpro and MapleLogic for both serial and Ethernet connections are shown, as well as the initialization and setup for both devices.

Demonstrates how to connect a Maple cMT HMI or cMT Server to Ignition Gateway to publish Sparkplug B MQTT payloads. Requires Cirrus Link MQTT Modules to be installed in Ignition. This sample project includes a variety of Sparkplug B tag types, including strings and integers, which are automatically discovered upon connection to Ignition. Also includes functions to start and stop MQTT connections as well as to connect to another gateway using an IP address. Refer to the Sparkplug B MQTT Quick-Start Guide located in the Manuals and Guides section of the Tech Support Center for more information.

Demonstrates how to connect and disconnect an EBPro cMT HMI project from your MySQL database. This project also shows how to generate data to sync to the database.

This HMI sample project demonstrates two ways to create a window that pops up when an alarm occurs. Direct Windows are located on the Common Window (window 4) to pop up the alarm windows.

This project demonstrates how to display HMI alarms and events in Alarm Bar, Alarm Display, and Event Display objects. It also demonstrates how to select a date range in a History mode Event Display object with option list dropdown menus.
