Introduction
All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with Maple Systems Remote IO (MODBUS TCP/IP). Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.
Supported Series: Maple Systems Remote IO (iR-ETN)
