New C-more CM5 Series HMIs
The next generation of the popular C-more HMI product line is here!
The CM5 HMI series offers lower cost, high-performance HMIs in sizes from 4 inches to an impressive 22 inches. With an amazing 1.6 GHz processor in the larger units (10" and above) and 43 Mbytes of memory, these HMIs provide much better trending, extra data storage, faster communication, and improved file types including jpegs.
With each panel comes a host of communication ports for plug-and-play connections with industrial networks. All CM5 panels have serial and Ethernet ports and several supported protocols including Modbus, EtherNet/IP, and the lightweight MQTT(S) protocol used in many machine-to-machine (M2M) and IIoT applications. The 10" and larger models feature an additional Ethernet port, allowing them to act as a data bridge between two separate networks. The included USB ports provide in-an-instant connections for programming and peripherals like keyboards, USB-to-audio converters, barcode scanners, additional memory storage, etc. The embedded SD-card slot provides easy project transfers or up to an additional 2TB (depending on model) of data storage for important log files.

Supreme PLC Compatibility
Did you know C-more HMIs support a host of other PLC brands?
C-more HMIs can support many brands of PLCs and in particular include many protocols for the Allen-Bradley PLC brand. C-more's A-B Ethernet drivers allow the simple connectivity of multiple panels and/or multiple Allen-Bradley PLCs.

ControlLogix EtherNet/IP tag-based messaging
C-more HMIs also support ControlLogix EtherNet/IP Tag Messaging. This drastically reduces the time required to map your PLC tag database into another device. You can import the RSLogix 5000 L5K file directly (1 below), or with just a few clicks of the mouse you can directly enter your ControlLogix/ CompactLogix tags from the PLC into C-more. No mapping or translation required!
Protocol bridge
Connect multiple brands of PLCs to C-more and communicate with them simultaneously. Use the Event Manager to periodically send tag values from one controller to another or when certain conditions are met. C-more can even act as a “protocol bridge”, passing values back and forth between PLCs that use different protocols.
