C-more® HMI Touch Panels

Human Machine Interface (HMI) panels provide operators with visual displays of data and operations for easy monitoring and control of automated systems. A variety of screen sizes and functionality (touch or non-touch) are available, from low-cost 3-inch C-more Micro panels to advanced CM5 touch panels up to 22 inches. Each HMI series comes with free software.

C-more CM5 Graphical Displays

The CM5 HMI series has the highest performance of all our HMI families. They provide many hardware options with a variety of screen sizes and communication capabilities. All CM5 panels have serial and Ethernet ports that support many of the most popular industry protocols, including EtherNet/IP and Modbus. The 10" and larger models feature an additional Ethernet port, which could be used to share important data 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, memory storage, etc. The embedded SD-card slot provides easy project transfers or up to an additional 2TB of data storage for important log files. CM5 HMIs also support the secure MQTT (with TLS) protocol which has become the frontrunner for many IIoT/ cloud applications.

C-more Compatibility

C-more supports various open standards and protocols including EtherNet/IP, and MODBUS (RTU and TCP). The use of open protocols allows you to chose compatible product based on "best of breed" criteria, instead of being locked in to a single source.

C-more supports PLC communications to/from all the major brands of PLCs. They can even communicate with multiple PLCs simultaneously and, in some cases, even over the same cable.

Here is a list of all supported PLC Protocols
