Practical Tips and Techniques
We will now look at creating common screen menus on our C-More Micro HMI. The menu can appear on multiple screens which provides intuitive operation for your operators. Allowing operators of your HMI (Human Machine Interface) panel to easily navigate all of the information available is a vital part of programming. We want to present … Read more
Previously we put our first program (Video) into the C-More Micro HMI Panel using the C-More Micro programming software. The Do-More Designer Simulator was used with a modified Start Stop Jog Circuit so we can use our HMI screen to control the output as well as the inputs on the PLC. This communication was done … Read more

The C-more Micro HMI Panels from Automation Direct include a series of built-in Systems Setup Screens. They are split into three categories; Information, Setting, and Test Menu. Information – Under the information menu we will find the panel model number, available memory, and usage, the protocol being used by the panel, and the version information … Read more
The C-more Micro Programming Software is a free download from Automation Direct. This is similar to the more powerful C-more Touch Panel programming software. This free HMI (Human Machine Interface) software has features designed to reduce your configuration time. Simply drag and drop the objects from the object bar onto the screen construction area. Configure … Read more
We will now unbox and review our C-More Micro hardware. Human machine interfaces (HMIs) are made to display and control operations for our automation solution. Information is displayed in a graphic format. (Graphical User Interface – GUI) The HMI is usually part of the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. Communication from the HMI … Read more
