Configuration Wiring
To configure the HMI using the EasyBuilder Pro software, use the
Ethernet Configuration Cable (P/N 7431-0104) or USB Configuration
Cable (P/N 7431-0115).

USB
A USB driver (included with the EasyBuilder Pro software) must be
installed when downloading from the PC to the HMI via USB connection.
Caution: When connecting two powered devices via USB, a
difference in potential can exist between the ground reference on
each device. If there is a difference in ground potential (voltage),
making a connection via a USB cable can complete a ground
loop that may damage the HMI and PC. The Maple Systems
USB Configuration Cable (P/N 7431-0115) is recommended for
connecting the HMI to the PC. The shield is not connected
between the two ends of the cable, which will prevent a
potentially damaging ground loop from occurring between the
devices. Please refer to Page 6 for proper wiring instructions.
