What is a Silver Series OIT?

The Silver Series OITs by Maple Systems are graphics operator interfaces designed to connect to PLCs in an industrial
environment. The displays are covered with analog resistive touchscreens designed for harsh industrial environments. The
touchscreens use the latest in touchscreen technology enabling the OIT programmer to create switches that are very fine in
resolution. Unlike many other touchscreen OITs on the market, the Silver Series OITs are not limited to a fixed number of
cells in which switches can be created. The OIT programmer can create as many switches of varying sizes and shapes as he
wishes, limited only by the total amount of memory available for the project.
Three LED indicators are provided on the face of the Silver Series OITs to provide instant feedback to the OIT operator of
the current operating condition of the OIT.
The Silver Series OITs have three serial ports, which provide a connection to a PLC using RS-232 or
RS-485 communications and an Ethernet connection for PLC communication and project upload and download. The serial
ports also provide the ability to use the EZware-5000 configuration software in Simulation Mode enabling the OIT
programmer to test his project on the PC instead of downloading the project to the OIT.
The Silver Series is powered using +24VDC. Finally, a reset switch is provided on the back of the OIT to reinitialize the
OIT if an operational failure occurs. The Silver Series is designed for industrial environments and carries a NEMA 4X
(indoor only) rating as well as CE compliance for noise immunity and emissions.

Description
Creates a graphics object to reflect the current status of a PLC bit.
Creates a graphics object to reflect the current state of a multi-state PLC data register.
Creates a touchscreen graphics object that represents a two-state switch. When pressed it
sets/resets a PLC bit.
Creates a touchscreen graphics object that represents a multi-state switch. When pressed it can
place a constant value in a PLC register or jog the value.
Creates a touchscreen graphics object that represents a two-state switch changing state
(picture) based upon a PLC bit. When pressed, it can control another PLC bit.
Creates a touchscreen graphics object that changes the state according to the position of a
slider switch.
Creates a multi-state touchscreen graphics object that changes state (picture) according to the
value in a PLC data register. When pressed, it sends a value(s) to another PLC register.
Creates a touchscreen graphics object or runs a macro.
Displays a number stored in a PLC register. The number can be changed using a numeric
keypad.
