the Project Information window. Note: same as clicking on the Keys folder in the Project
Information window.

Nodes – use to assign a network node address to each serial com port on the HMC7000.
You can also modify the settings for each serial port (i.e. baud rate, communications
driver, etc.) as well. Note: same as clicking on the Network Configuration folder in the
Project Information window.

Tag Database – displays the Tag database. Use this to configure and assign tags to each
internal memory address or PLC memory address you wish to access. Note: same as
clicking on the Tags folder in the Project Information window.

Alarm Database – displays the Alarm Configuration screen. Use this screen to assign and
create alarm messages. Note: same as clicking Alarms folder in the Project Information
window.

Languages – displays the Languages Configuration screen. Use this screen to select
additional languages (up to 9) in text and labels for objects. Note: same as clicking
Languages in the Project Information window.

System Parameters – displays the Systems Parameters dialog box to configure the Timer
Interrupt and Keep Memory Area.

Ethernet Settings – displays the Download Ethernet Settings dialog box for the
HMC7000. Note: only available for models that have an Ethernet port.
Mode menu – determines the operating mode of the MAPware-7000 software

Edit – when selected, allows editing of the opened project (default mode)

Online/Offline – when selected, the MAPware-7000 software connects to the HMC7000
to read/write to internal memory addresses of the HMC7000. Data is edited and
monitored using the Data Monitor window.
o With upload – current project residing in HMC7000 uploads into the MAPware-
7000 before going online.
o Without upload – MAPware-7000 simply connects to HMC7000 without
uploading the existing project that is in the HMC.

PLC Control – controls how the ladder logic blocks in the HMC7000 operate while in
Online mode.
o Run – starts execution of ladder logic in PLC7000 {future product}
o Halt – temporarily stops execution of ladder logic
o Run Force – very similar to Run mode except in this mode, the ladder logic
continues to run even if the physical expansion I/O modules are not connected
to the HMC7000. The registers assigned to the I/O modules are updated. This
mode is useful to check operation of the program.
o Hold – stops execution of the ladder logic but continues to update all inputs and
outputs. This mode is primarily useful to troubleshoot external I/O signals
connected to the expansion modules.
o Hold Cancel – cancels the Hold mode and returns to normal (Run) operation.
o Error Reset – the HMC7000 has a self-diagnostics routine that continuously runs
in the background during normal operation. If a problem is detected during
normal operation, the HMC7000 may go into shutdown mode. In this mode,
execution of the ladder logic stops and all outputs are assigned to the Error
State Output Condition. Once the cause of the error is corrected, normal
operation resumes if this command is sent to the HMC7000.
