C-more® Operator Interface Touch Panels
C-more Remote HMI App for iPhone®/iPad®/iPod touch®
Additional Drivers now available
C-more industrial touch screens are designed to give you the best cost of ownership, considering initial price, features, ease of use,
reliability and free award-winning technical support. We continue to improve both hardware and software features. Perhaps this is why
more and more people find that C-more touch panels have what it takes to meet most of their HMI application needs.
But don't take our word for it, see for yourself - read the reviews that C-more customers have submitted. C-more is designed and manufactured by our parent company, Koyo Electronics, part of the multi-billion dollar JTEKT group.
With the C-more series, featuring STN and TFT touch screens, 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 HMI 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 C-more software makes touchscreen panel setup and C-more programming quick and simple, and all C-more touch panels use the same programming package.

- Built-in FTP server, e-mail client, Web server
- Event Manager to trigger actions based on assigned state changes, schedules, PLC tag names or other events set up in a database environment. The event can also trigger a sound bite, initiate a screen capture, send a data file (FTP), send an e-mail, and more.
- Audio output port
NOTE: Some features are not available on the base panels.
Compatibility
A great feature of the C-more HMI panels is their connectivity to many different types of devices. 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 devices 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.
We have added several new protocols for the Allen Bradley PLC brand. The new AB Ethernet drivers allow the simple connectivity of multiple panels and/or multiple Allen-Bradley PLCs. We have also added ControlLogix® Ethernet/IP Tag Messaging support.
This new feature helps increase productivity by reducing the time often required to map your PLC tag database into the HMI. You can import the RSLogix 5000 L5K file directly or with just a few clicks of the mouse you can directly enter your ControlLogix/ CompactLogix tags from the PLC into C-more. No mapping or translation required!

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.
| PLC |

Remote Access and Control
The Remote Access and Control feature allows remote users to connect, monitor, and control any C-more panel that supports Ethernet. With the proper network configuration, remote users can connect with two simple methods:
- PC Web Browser
Using a Web browser on any PC to operate and monitor the local HMI system from any location with network access.
- iPhone / iPad / iPod touch
The C-more Remote HMI App allows remote access and control for mobile users who have a wi-fi or cellular connection. This App can be downloaded from the App StoreSM. More Info

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 (download here) |
