The C-more EA9 series HMIs deliver top-notch functionality, usability and value to our popular C-more touch panel family. With logic, math, alarming, remote accessibility and a myriad of supported protocols, C-more EA9 series HMIs are capable, practical graphical displays. A headless EA9 C-more interface is also available to drive other display options.

 

C-more industrial touch screens are designed to give you the best cost of ownership, considering initial price, features, ease of use, reliability and free award-winning technical support. More and more people have found that C-more touch panels have what it takes to meet most of their HMI application needs. 

C-more is programmed with easy-to-use configuration software that provides a powerful set of tools for developing simple or very complex applications. The C-more software makes touchscreen panel setup and C-more programming quick and simple, and all C-more touch panels use the same programming package.

C-more HMI software is a free download.

Compatibility

A great feature of the C-more HMI panels is their connectivity to many different types of devices. In addition to all AutomationDirect PLCs, you can connect to many Allen-Bradley, GE, Mitsubishi, Omron, or Modicon PLCs (see list below).

C-More can also connect to multiple devices and different brands of PLCs simultaneously! C-more can act as an interpreter or "protocol bridge", passing PLC tag values back and forth between separate PLC protocols.

AB Ethernet drivers allow the simple connectivity of multiple panels and/or multiple Allen-Bradley PLCs. We have also added ControlLogix Ethernet/IP Tag Messaging support. This feature helps increase productivity by reducing the time often required to map your PLC tag database into the HMI. You can import the RSLogix 5000 L5K file directly 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!

Networking

C-more panels with Ethernet can communicate via various types of networking protocols using the Ethernet network interface. The Ethernet port can be used for downloading a project to the panel, for communication with multiple PLCs (and multiple brands of PLCs), and for advanced features such as e-mail and FTP access and allowing the panel to act as a Web server.

Ethernet capability enables your C-more panel to connect to your AutomationDirect PLC Ethernet network. For the high-speed Ethernet LAN 10/100BaseT network connection, the following PLCs can be used:

 

  PLC  Ethernet Module Needed
  Do-more H2   Ethernet port embedded on H2-DM1E CPU or the H2-ECOM100 (with H2-DM1E CPU or H2-DM1 CPU)
  Do-more T1H   Ethernet port embedded on T1H-DM1E CPU
  Do-more BRX   Ethernet port embedded on select MPUs
  Productivity1000      Ethernet port embedded on all CPUs
