Summary
Maple Systems’ HMI5000 Series Human/Machine Interface Terminals (Maple HMIs)
communicate with Allen Bradley PLC5e-series controllers using the DF1/PCCC protocol,
using the DF1 Typed Read and Typed Write commands. When configured with EZware-5000,
the Maple HMI is the master in a single master, multiple slave format. Please refer to the
HMI5000 Series Programming Manual for information on connecting multiple Maple HMIs to
a single PLC.

Important Memory Con sideratio ns
If your PLC’s memory range is smaller than the range supported by the Maple HMIs, it is
possible to configure the HMI to monitor a PLC memory address which does not exist.
Since this can cause unpredictable results, when you configure the HMI please ensure that
all selected PLC memory addresses are valid for your PLC model.
Do not configure the HMI to write to any PLC memory address which should only be
written to by the PLC.

EZwareSettings
The following table lists the communications settings that must be configured in
EZware. These settings can be found in the Edit-System Parameters menu under the
Device tab.
Please note:
The Recommended Settings column provides the recommended setting
based upon the default settings most commonly used in the Allen-
Bradley PLC-5e Series controller.
The Options column lists EZware’s options; your PLC may not support
every option.

Client ID
The HMI will identify itself to the PLC as MAPLE_HMI_nnn, where nnn is the last part of the
HMI’s IP address. For example, if the HMI has an IP address of 192.168.1.5, the HMI will
identify itself as MAPLE_HMI_005. If the project is run in the EasyBuilder Online Simulator,
the HMI identification will be MAPLE_HMI_OLS.
Communication Errors
Connection ID
When the HMI initially connects to the PLC5, the PLC5 provides a Connection ID
number that the HMI uses in all subsequent communications. If the PLC5 is unable
to provide a Connection ID, this value will be zero. The HMI stores this 32-bit value
in Local Words 8984 and 8985. To view the Connection ID, use a Numeric Display
object, addressed at LW8984, with the format set to 32-bit Unsigned.
Last Received Error Code
The HMI keeps the last DF1 Error Code in Local Word 8999. The High byte of
LW8999 is the DF1 STS error code, and will usually be hexadecimal F0. The low
byte of LW8999 is the DF1 EXT STS byte. If there are no errors, the value in
LW8999 will be 0.
Note: in the event that the PLC does not respond, the PLC No Response
window will be displayed, but the value in LW8999 will still be 0.

Communication Errors are almost always caused by some type of mismatch between
the address specified in the HMI and the Data Table in the PLC. Common problems
are:
An object in the HMI is configured to read N7:250, but the N7 data file in the
PLC is configured only up to N7:200.
An object in the HMI is configured to read the preset of timer T10:0, but data
file 10 is defined in the PLC as something other than a Timer.
An object in the HMI is configured to read a Floating Point value, but the
specified data file is configured as something other than Floating Point. The
inverse of this is also true.
An object in the HMI is configured to read a bit, but the HMI object does not
properly specify leading zeros. For example
To read bit B3:5.7:
Device Type B3, address 57 (incorrect)
Device Type B3, address 507 (correct)
To read bit N12:35.3:
Device Type NfnBit, address 12353 (incorrect)
Device Type NfnBit, address 123503 (incorrect)
Device Type B3, address 1203503 (correct)
Communication Retries
When the HMI experiences a communication error, it will try to restart comms with
the PLC. This will always cause the HMI to obtain a new Connection ID from the
HMI. In some cases, it may be desirable to reduce the Inactivity Timeout setting in
the PLC so that the PLC will close any inactive connections sooner.
