Description:
HMC7043A-M- 480 x272 pixels, 4.3" Color TFT, with three
expansion slots, an Ethernet port and two serial com ports
Contents:
One HMC7043A-M (in plastic bag with protective cover
sheet on the screen)
One plastic bag containing four mounting clamps (each
clamp consisting of cap nut, bolt, and clamp)
One three prong green power plug
Cardboard package inserts
Quick Start Guide
Programming software (MAPware-7000), cables, and power
supply purchased separately.
Panel Mounting and Panel Cutout:
HMC7043A-M
Tighten the mounting screws evenly to a torque between 0.6
and 0.7 nm to maintain water and dust resistance. Make sure
the panel is not dirty and warped and that it is strong enough
to hold the unit.
Note: Maximum panel thickness (on which unit is to be
mounted) should be 6.0mm (tolerance: -0.5mm).
Specifications:
The HMC7043A-M is a combination operator-based HMI
(Human Machine Interface) with built-in PLC (programmable
logic controller) operation. It communicates with external
PLCs over Ethernet or serial communications ports to
read/write data. Up to three I/O expansion modules can be
attached.

Color graphics display
Bezel: NEMA 4 (IP66) rated
Touchscreen: 4-wire analog resistive
LED: One Power LED
Memory: 10 MB Max. Application Memory
Ethernet: One Ethernet port (Upload/Download
projects and PLC communications)
Serial Ports: One DB9 connector with two serial ports
COM1 (RS232) / COM2 (RS485/RS422)
Both ports can be used simultaneously
USB Slave: Upload/download projects
USB Host: Data Storage
Operating Temp: 0 to 50° C
Humidity: 10% to 90% (non-condensing)
Dimensions: 5.04 x 4.02 x 1.77 inches
[128x102x45mm]
Panel cutout: 4.69x 3.66 inches
[119x93mm]
Mounting Unit to Panel:
Step 1: Place unit into cutout of panel and position mounting
clamps (four) into side slots of HMC7000 enclosure as shown
above.
Step 2: Tighten clamps evenly to prevent warping. Continue to
tighten until a torque force of 0.6-0.7 nm is obtained.
Step 3: HMC7000 should be aligned evenly with the cutout
with no warping present after clamps are tightened.
Port Details (COM1 and COM2):
DB9S (Female) Connector
The HMC7043A-M has one D type serial connector which
supports RS232 (COM1) and RS485/RS422 (COM2) on
different pins. A suitable Y type cable can be used for separate
RS232 and RS485/RS422 connections simultaneously.
Grounding:
The HMC7000 should have a good electrical connection to
earth ground via the power connector for safety and to reduce
electrical noise. The HMC unit should be grounded separately
from other high-power systems.
Note: Do not use a ground connection that has potential
impedance (such as painted screws) or is subject to vibration.
Expansion I/O Modules:
The HMC7043A-M has three expansion slots that you can use
to connect I/O modules. Consult Maple Systems website for a
complete listing of modules currently available.

Class I Division 2 Wiring Considerations:
Capacitance and inductance of field wiring from intrinsically
safe equipment to the associated apparatus must be included
in the system calculations as shown in Table 1. Cable
capacitance, Ccable, plus intrinsically safe equipment
capacitance, Ci, must be less than the marked capacitance, Ca
(or Co), shown on any associated apparatus used. The same
applies for inductance (Lcable, Liand Laor Lo, respectively).
Where the cable capacitance and inductance per foot are not
known, the following values shall be used: Ccable = 60 pF/ft,
Lcable = 0.2 μH/ft.

Voc or Vt(or Uo)
Imax (or Ii) >
Isc or It(or Io)
Ci+ Ccable <
Ca(or Co)
Li+ Lcable <
La(or Lo)
Wiring method must be in accordance with ANSI/NFPA70
Associated apparatus may be in a Division 2 or Zone 2 location
if so approved.
Associated apparatus must be installed in accordance with its
manufacturer’s control drawing and National Electrical Code
for installation in the United States and Canadian Electrical
Code for installation in Canada.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE OR REPLACE WHILE CIRCUIT
IS LIVE UNLESS THE AREA IS KNOWN TO BE FREE OF
IGNITIBLE CONCENTRATIONS OF FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups
A, B, C and D or non-hazardous locations only.
WARNING –EXPLOSION HAZARD –Do not disconnect
equipment unless power has been removed or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.
WARNING –EXPLOSION HAZARD - Substitution of
components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
WARNING - CAUTION, battery may explode if mistreated.
Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.
WARNING - Replace battery with Type CR1225FH-LF,
manufactured by Renata SA, only. Use of another battery may
present a risk of fire or explosion. See owner's manual for
safety instructions.
It is recommended that the user periodically inspect the sealed
devices used, check for any degradation of properties, and
replace as necessary.
