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)

How to Import Tags

  1. Export Tags from EasyRemoteIO

    Open EasyRemoteIO. From the menu bar, select File → Export Tag.
    EasyRemoteIO File menu with Export Tag option highlighted, showing iR-ETN device in the IO / Modules panel.
  2. Import Tags in EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro)

    In EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), open System Parameter Settings → Device (Driver) → Import Tags. The Add Tags dialog opens, displaying all exported tag names with their address modes and addresses. Select the tags to import and click OK.

Wiring Diagram

NOTE: Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect the HMI to the Maple Systems Remote IO (iR-ETN) module.

The diagram below shows the Ethernet cable wiring.
