EZ12 Series HMIs come equipped with two USB ports. The port on the left is for program upload through 

a USB A to USB B programming cable.  

Note:

 If a power cycle occurs while the USB programming cable is connected, the cable will need 

unplugged and then replugged in to reestablish a connection. 

 

The Host USB port (on the right) can connect to a USB Flash drive for program upload by simply using 

our EZ Editor Software to create a USB Loader file (.hmi). It also allows the user to upgrade firmware 

(.mme), enter the Setup menu (.set), and calibrate the HMI (.cal) if need be. This process benefits 

system integrators and OEMs by permitting them to upgrade panels on site without the need to connect 

to a computer or programming software. Please see our EZTouch Editor Software Help for detailed 

instructions on this process. In addition, the Host USB can be utilized for data logging purposes in 

combination with our AVG Remote File Manager Utility.
