Automation Direct C-More HMI panel.
The cmore EA9 HMI has an event manager that can be used to trigger actions based on various events. We will be adding a Click PLC to our headless RHMI cmore EA9 program that we created last time to communicate to the solo process temperature controller. The Solo will be connected via RS485 using the … Read more
The cmore EA9 HMI can connect to the Solo process temperature controller using the built-in RS485 serial communication port. This will connect up to 32 solo units back to the HMI for display and control. We will be setting up our headless RHMI c-more EA9 to communicate to the Solo process temperature controller. Using the … Read more
Remote access will allow for viewing or controlling the C-More EA9 HMI series. We can use any windows based machine or use the C-More remote HMI App from Apple iTunes store, Google Play or Amazon App Store for mobile devices. This software is available free of charge. Setting up the EA9 series for remote access … Read more
The C-more headless EA9-RHMI is programmed using the C-more Programming Software, EA9-PGMSW. The developed project is transferred from the PC to the HMI by either a USB or an Ethernet connection between the two. Previously we used the Ethernet connection to establish communication. We will be using the USB connection to establish communication, save the … Read more
The C-More EA9 HMI Panel now comes in a headless version. (EA9-RHMI) All of the great features that are already built into the EA9 are available with the new headless model. This unit can be mounted within the cabinet and you can decide how to display the information. This user-friendly, time-saving software platform allows your … Read more
The C-More EA9 HMI Panel through the Ethernet port can send secure email messages. These mail messages with attachments can be sent through a specified mail server. We will be sending an email using a Gmail account with authentication. This will also include an attached logged data file. We will also discuss how the C-More … Read more
The C-More EA9 HMI Panel through the Ethernet port can be set up to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol). FTP is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and a server on a computer network. The C-More HMI can be used as an FTP Client or Server depending on your … Read more
The C-More HMI Panel can log data using the Line Trend Graph or PID Faceplate Trend Graph objects. When Save Log Data is selected on the Options tab configuration for that object, data is written to a “.txt ” file saved to the storage device selected. Data Logging is commonly used to monitor systems and/or … Read more
The C-More HMI Panel can function as a simple web server. A web server includes software and hardware that will respond to World Wide Web client requests. The communication used between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. (HTTP). Information generally takes the form of pages that may include images, style sheets … Read more
The C-More HMI Panel will support a barcode scanner (barcode reader) input. A scanner uses a light source and a light sensor to translate optical impulses into an electrical signal. The CMore can accept a USB barcode scanner input. We will now connect and program a barcode scanner into our HMI panel. The PLC ladder … Read more
