Introduction

All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with Crouzet M3 (LAD). Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.

HMI Setting

ParametersRecommendedOptionsNotes
PLC typeCROUZET M3 (LAD)
PLC I/FRS232
Baud rate115200
Data bits7
ParityEven
Stop bits1
PLC sta. no.1

*Support communications between HMI and PLC in pass-through mode

*Set LW-9903 to 2 to enhance the speed of download/upload PLC program in pass-through mode

When using pass-through, the driver will stop communication between HMI and PLC.
