5. Delete “Direct Window” objects which are triggered with LB9060~9069, 9080, 9081, (HMI5000-

series use a new mechanism to manage keyboards.): Check this box to delete any Direct Windows

objects in the EasyBuilder-500 project file that are triggered by the internal local memory bits

LB9060-LB9069, LB9080-LB9081.

In EasyBuilder-500, these local memory bits allowed a popup window to appear in the display

based upon touching any Numeric Input or ASCII Input object located in a particular area of the

screen. This feature is not available in EZwarePlus. By default, this option is checked.

6. Click the Translate button to begin conversion of the file. When done, you will see text in the

comments field that indicates if the conversion is successful.

7. Click the Exit button to go back to the main screen of EZwarePlus. Open the converted file as you

would normally open any EZwarePlus project file.

Due to some incompatibilities between the EZware-500 software and the EZwarePlus software,

you should check each screen and test operation after conversion to make sure that your HMI works

to your satisfaction.

The Shape Library and Picture Library file formats in EZwarePlus are different than those used in

EasyBuilder-500. When a project is translated, EZwarePlus creates new libraries with the same file

name as the translated project containing the shapes and pictures (bitmaps) from the original

EasyBuilder-500 project. For example, if a 500 Series project is translated and saved with the filename

“PumpStation4.mtp,” a Shape Library is created with the name “PumpStation4_0.plb” and a Picture

Library is created with the name “PumpStation4_0.flb” and saved into the EZPlus Library folder

(C:\MapleSystems\EZPlus\library).
