Introduction

All Maple Systems HMIs programmed with EBPro (EasyBuilder Pro), including every cMT X Series and cMT Series model, are compatible with a Yaskawa Electric MP2300Siec (Ethernet). Configure your Controller and HMI/cMT with the following parameters to establish reliable communication.

MP2300Siec — Motion Works IEC Express (Yaskawa) Driver

Before the HMI can communicate with the MP2300Siec over Ethernet/IP, the Instance Input and Instance Output of the MP2300Siec device must be configured correctly. Multiple instances may be built at one time; click **Save** after setting.

Configure Assembly Instances
In Motion Works IEC, open the Hardware Configuration for the EtherNet/IP adapter. Set the Input and Output Assembly Instances and their sizes to match your EtherNet/IP Scanner configuration. Click Save after setting.
Review Global Variables
Global Variables are automatically populated with E/IP Input and Output data. The Input and Output data names and address types can be user-defined.
Open Resource Settings
When downloading the project to the MP2300Siec, right-click the Resource in the project tree and select Settings… to open the Resource Settings dialog for configuring the MP2300Siec IP address.
Set the MP2300Siec IP Address
In the Resource Settings dialog, set the DLL to TCP/IP and enter the MP2300Siec IP address in the Parameter field (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
Compile the Project
Click Make to start compilation. Confirm the output log shows 0 Error(s), 0 Warning(s) before proceeding.
Download Project and Execute Cold Start
Download the project to the MP2300Siec device, then execute Cold to apply the new configuration.

HMI Driver Options

Two drivers are available to connect a Maple Systems HMI/cMT to the Yaskawa MP2300Siec:

Yaskawa MP2300Siec driver
Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) EtherNet/IP (CompactLogix) – Free Tag Names driver

Option 1: Yaskawa MP2300Siec Driver

Configure System Parameter Settings
Open the EBPro (EasyBuilder) project. In the System Parameter Settings, the Assembly Instance and Size must match the MP2300Siec software default factory settings. Do not select UDP. The diagram below shows how HMI Input/Output addresses map to the MP2300Siec device: Output Instance 111 maps to FromCL (HMI Scanner output → PLC) and Input Instance 101 maps to ToCL (PLC → HMI Scanner input).
Configure Address Settings
Instance 101 and Instance 111 are defined as 128 bytes. On the project window, use WORD objects with data type set to 32-Bit Unsigned. Set Input addresses to 0, 2, 4, 6, … 62 to read Instance 101 data.

Option 2: Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) EtherNet/IP (CompactLogix) — Free Tag Names Driver

Open Structure Editor and Add New Data Type
In EBPro (EasyBuilder8000/EBPro; EasyBuilder Pro), when using the Rockwell EIP driver to import a CSV file, open the Structure Editor and right-click Module Defined to add a New Data Type.
Set Data Type Name to Match CSV
In the Structure Editor, set the Name of the new data type to exactly match the Data Type value in the Free Tag CSV file (e.g. AB:ETHERNET_MODULE:C:0). The Data Member Name must also be set identically to the corresponding field in RSLogix (as shown in the Data column of the Tag Information), then click Save.
Add Data Member Name
In the Add Data Member dialog, set the Name to Data — identically to the Rockwell software — and set the Data Type to SINT[40]. Click Add to confirm.
Save the Data Member
Confirm the Data member (type SINT[40]) appears in the member list, then click Save.
Import CSV and Verify Tag Information
Import the CSV file. Tag Information can be viewed from the object address browser — select the MP2300Siec.C tag to confirm the mapping is correct.
