Chapter 6 – Using EZware-5000
Overview
The EZware-5000 software is composed of three separate applications that are accessible from the EZware-5000
folder: EasyBuilder, Project Manager, and EasyConverter. EasyBuilder is the application software used to create a
project file. Project Manager is a utility application that puts the HMI into different operating modes. EasyConverter
changes certain binary files created by the HMI into text files.
By the end of this chapter, you should be quite familiar with the operation of Project Manager and be able to
maneuver around EasyBuilder easily.
EasyBuilder 5000 includes extensive online help. From any dialog box within the software, click on the HELP
button, or press the computer's F1 key.
The Project Manager
The Project Manager utility sets the communications parameters that are used by the computer when
communicating to the HMI. The utility can also be used to:
• Start EasyBuilder-5000.
• Write project data to a CompactFlash
or USB device for transfer to an HMI.
• Download project data to the HMI
or upload project data from the HMI.
• Start a project simulation session.
To access Project Manager, click on the
Windows Start button and select
All Programs >Maple Systems > EZware-5000 > Project Manager.
