Chapter 1 – Introduction
Welcome
Welcome to the Maple Systems’ Silver Series Operator Interface Terminals (OITs) from Watlow. Using graphic HMIs
has never been easier. This powerful family of graphic OITs connects to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to
provide the human-machine interface in industrial applications. The Silver Series has several features not found in
other graphic HMIs. This manual explains the programming and operation of the Silver Series HMIs and how to
implement the many available features using the EZware-5000 Configuration Software.
