Welcome
Welcome to the Maple Systems’ HMI5000P/L Series Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Using graphic HMIs has never
been easier. This powerful family of graphic HMIs connects to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to provide the
human-machine interface in industrial applications. The HMI5000P/L Series have several features not found in other
graphic HMIs. This manual explains the programming and operation of the HMI5000P/L Series HMIs and how to
implement the many available features using the EZwarePlus Configuration Software.
