Practical Tips and Techniques
Previously, we learned that only 31% of businesses have fully automated at least one function (McKinsey). There is a massive demand for automation and creating training environments. Using the machine simulator, we utilized the Modbus TCP (Ethernet) Server in the “Easy Transfer Line.” This is just one of many pre-built scenes, or you can design … Read more
The C-More CM5 HMI programming software will allow tags to be imported. This can save you work hours when establishing communications with different PLC controllers. Instead of creating and labeling tags in the PLC and the HMI, we can export them from the PLC and import them into the HMI. This saves you time, money, … Read more
We will now communicate from the C-more CM5 HMI to the latest Machine Simulator (EasyPLC) version, 4.1. This will be done using Ethernet on a Modbus TCP network. The machine simulator (MS) will be the server, and the C-more will be the Client. Machine simulators play a crucial role in industrial automation as they allow … Read more

Programming a C-more CM5 HMI (Human-Machine Interface) or any other unit can initially seem daunting, but it can be a rewarding experience with the proper guidance. This post will walk you through the steps to program a C-more HMI unit, specifically the CM5 HMI model. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience with HMI … Read more
We will establish communication and check the firmware on our C-More CM5 HMI touch panel. Communication with our CM5 HMI can be done via USB or Ethernet. The C-More CM5 has a USB port just used for programming, which is especially helpful if you are physically connecting to the HMI unit. Firmware is a type … Read more
