The leader in industrial automation and control solutions

Introduction

All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with Keyence KV-10/16/24/40/80/Visual KV Series. Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.

Supported Series: KEYENCE KV series, KV16~80
