Automation Direct C-More HMI panel.
The C-More can create a drop-down menu. This applies to all models of the HMI controller. A drop-down is a menu that offers a list of options. The currently selected item in the list is always displayed. When the visible item is selected (touched), other items from the list “drop-down” into view, and the operator … Read more

We will now look at P1AM Arduino Modbus TCP communication to the C-More EA9 Series HMI. This will be communicating Ethernet Modbus TCP protocol. The P1AM will be the server (slave) and the EA9-RHMI the client (master). We will explain how to connect a headless C-more HMI to our P1AM-ETH Industrial Arduino Ethernet Shield. The … Read more
The C-More EA9 Series of human-machine interfaces (HMI) provides a way for the operator to control and will perform a lot of additional items. The free programming software is very user friendly and fully featured. Here are some of the additional items that this robust and powerful HMI can do besides communicating to programmable logic … Read more
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
