Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Maple Systems HMC7000. The HMC7000 Series are HMCs (Human Machine Controllers)
configured using the MAPware-7000 software
This booklet describes the steps necessary for installing the HMC7000 Series.
For information on programming and configuring the HMC, please refer to the HMC7000 Series Programming Manual
included with the MAPware-7000 software or available for download. For additional information, please refer to the
Support Center section on our website, www.maplesystems.com. The Support Center provides links to manuals, FAQs,
technical notes, training videos, sample projects, controller information sheets, and controller cables.
Static Awareness
Do NOT remove the rear cover of your HMC7000 Series product – doing so will void your warranty. When the rear cover
is removed the circuitry inside is exposed to possible damage by electrostatic discharge during handling. Minimize the
possibility of electrostatic discharge by:
Discharging personal static by grounding yourself prior to handling the HMC.
Handling the HMC at a static-free grounded workstation.
Connecting the frame ground ( ) connector of the HMC to a clean earth ground.
Placing the HMC in an antistatic bag during transport.
Unpacking the Unit
Carefully unpack the HMC. Please read any instructions or cautions that appear on the shipping container. Check all
material in the container against the packing list. Maple Systems, Inc. will not accept responsibility for shortages against
the packing list unless notified within 30 days. The equipment and accessories were inspected and tested by Maple
Systems before shipment; all of the equipment should be in good working order. Examine the equipment carefully; if any
shipping damage is evident, notify the carrier immediately. You are responsible for claim negotiations with the carrier.
Save the shipping container and packing material in case the equipment needs to be stored, returned to Maple Systems, or
transported for any reason.

  • Page 9 The control panel must be connected to a good, high-integrity earth ground both for safety considerations and shielding purposes. Maple Systems cannot overemphasize the importance of good grounding. If you fail to use good grounding procedures during installation, sporadic malfunction of the HMC may occur. Connect the HMC chassis ground terminal to a reliable earth ground with a low-resistance path.

  • Page 10: Power Supply Selection

    HMC7000 Series Installation Guide Power Supply Selection The power supply used to power the HMC should provide an output of +24 VDC ±20% measured at the HMC power terminal block. A 24VDC regulated power supply dedicated to the HMC is recommended. Use a power supply with adequate current rating based upon your particular model (visit the Support Center Specifications page on our website).
  • Page 11 The power cable for the HMC should be 18AWG, 2-conductor wire with a shield drain wire and protective shield (foil/braid). You may buy cable P/N 6030-0009 by the foot from Maple Systems to make your own power cable. Always run the DC ground wire directly back to the signal return of the power supply. Do not use the chassis ground wire as your signal return.

  • Page 14: Connecting To Peripherals

    Connecting to Peripherals I/O Expansion Modules The HMC7000 Series (except for the HMC7030A-L) support I/O expansion modules. These modules are used to connect directly to digital/analog inputs and outputs in an industrial system. Below is a list of the current I/O expansion modules supported: I/O Module Part No.
  • Page 15 HMC7000 Series Installation Guide power supply and a field device (either some type of device that acts as a switch for inputs or a load in the case of an output). For a source connection, the current flows out of the expansion module’s input/output contact and into the common (signal ground) contact.
  • Page 16 HMC7000 Series Installation Guide PNP-type connection (Source) NPN-type connection (Sink) Note: the above diagrams show that a PNP output is ‘sourcing’ current and the NPN output is ‘sinking’ current. Which output (NPN or PNP) to use often depends upon the type of load connected. Also, PNP-type outputs are more vulnerable to a ground short which can damage the output module.
  • Page 17 HMC7000 Series Installation Guide Installing I/O Modules The expansion modules for the HMC7000 are designed to snap onto the back enclosure of the HMC7000 thru expansion slots. The HMC7030A-M and HMI7035A-M units support up to three modules. The HMC7057A-M unit supports up to five modules.
