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.
