ACC Automation: PLC & Industrial Control Learning
Practical Tips and Techniques
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
Operators in your Arduino sketches (programs) consist of comparison blocks, concatenate strings, bitwise operators, string conversion, ‘not’ operator, and compound operators. These operations generally will be used with other instructions in your sketch. It is important to understand what instructions are available and what they are designed to accomplish. We will be looking at each … 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
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
