C-more is our next generation of
operator interface touch panels. C-more is all new,
including its circuits, touch screen displays,
enclosures and all software and firmware. As a next generation product line,
C-more has a host of hardware improvements and software
enhancements, and offers better data transfer and
increased productivity over our previous touch screen
monitor products. C-more is designed and
manufactured by our parent company, Koyo Electronics,
part of the multi-billion dollar Seiko
group.
With the C-more series,
featuring STN and TFT touchscreen monitors, AutomationDirect now provides
the best combination of reliability, ease of use, and
features at the lowest possible prices. The C-more line
of operator interface touch panels is one of the most
powerful and easy to use in the industry. With C-more
flat panel touch screens, you can virtually replace
almost all mechanical pushbuttons, switches, meters, and
other peripheral devices.
C-more is programmed with
easy-to-use configuration software that provides a
powerful set of tools for developing simple or very
complex applications. The configuration software makes
touchscreen panel setup and programming quick and
simple, and all C-more touch panels use the same
programming package.
Why switch if you're
satisfied with your current operator touch screens?
In addition to all of the new
features and improvements, C-more offers, right out of
the box, even better reliability, a higher temperature
rating on most sizes, longer lasting backlights
that are replaceable on 8”, 10”, 12”, and 15”
displays, brighter displays with higher
resolution, more user memory and a 2 year
warranty.
If you have an existing EZTouch*
touch panel, C-more has the same mounting cutout so
replacement installation is a breeze. In addition,
C-more can convert and run existing EZTouch projects**.
Point, click and convert EZTouch projects to C-more and
you are ready to go.

Compatibility
A great feature of the C-more panels is their connectivity to
many different PLC types. In addition to Direct LOGIC PLCs, you can
connect to certain Allen-Bradley, GE, Mitsubishi, Omron,
or Modicon PLCs (see list below).
C-More can also connect to multiple
PLCs and different brands of PLCs simultaneously!
C-more can act as an interpreter or "protocol bridge",
passing PLC tag values back-and-forth between separate
PLC protocols.

Networking
Full featured C-more panels can
communicate via various types of networking protocols
using the Ethernet network interface. The Ethernet port
can be used for downloading a project to the panel, for
communication with multiple PLCs (and multiple brands of
PLCs), and for advanced features such as e-mail and FTP
access and allowing the panel to act as a Web server.
DirectLogic ECOM Ethernet enables your full featured C-more panel to
connect to your AutomationDirect PLC Ethernet network.
For the high-speed Ethernet LAN 10/100BaseT network
connection, the following PLC modules can be used.

Premium Features
- No Additional Hardware required
The C-more Remote Access feature resides in the panel and requires no option modules. Simply configure the network settings in the panel project and connect the panel to a network. (This feature requires only software and firmware version 2.73 or later to function.*)
- Multilevel Logon Security
Three Remote Access user accounts can be configured and stored in the panel project. Each account allows up to five remote users to be connected simultaneously.
- Multilevel Access Control
Each account can be configured in one of the following levels of access:
- View Only
- View and allow Screen Change only
- Full Control
- Programmable Notification Tags
Activation and Notification Tags provide an option for each account to have associated user configured TAGS that allow the Panel project or PLC project to indicate that a remote user is connected or to enable or disable the remote access feature. These tags can be used to activate alarms, events or notifications to alert local operators that a remote user is connected. The Disable/Enable TAGS can be assigned to a switch to allow local operators the ability to enable or disable the remote access feature for security or safety reasons.
* Requires software and firmware version 2.73 or later to function |
