Introduction
All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with Fatek FB/FBs/B1/B1z Series. Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.
Supported Series: FATEK FB/FBs/B1/B1z series, FB MC series, and FB MA series need
HMI Settings
| Parameters | Recommended | Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLC type | FATEK FB/FBs/B1/B1z Series | ||
| PLC I/F | RS232 | RS232/RS485/Ethernet | |
| Baud rate | 9600 | ||
| Data bits | 7 | ||
| Parity | Even | ||
