Reviews for C-more Micro Panels

Been using these for years, as well as the previous generation of the product...never had an issue.

This is one of my favorite HMIs. It's great for when you need a screen that's a little higher resolution or bigger than the little EA1 3" units, but you don't need one of the bigger 6"+ units. As with all the C-More HMIs, interfacing and programming couldn't be any easier. The units hold up well and I've had no problems with water or oil intrusion. For the price you can't beat it.

There is no way to remote link to the panel. That makes setup and troubleshooting cumbersome. The other panels have a remote link function that allows for me to test the operation of the panel. That is worth the extra cost of those units for me.

I needed to replace an Allen Bradley Panel view micro 300 and integrate with a micrologix 1200 PLC. It also needed to fit in the same area without modifications as my company would buy many of these HMI"s to replace in machines we have out in the field all over the world. The software is intuitive and the support from Automation direct was very helpful. It is great product and an upgrade from the part it replaced.

I have used C-more micros for many applications and have always wanted better resolution in the small size. This little HMI solves that issue. I was very impressed with the better resolution, better colors, and the ability to display a bitmap image. I was able display an image of their product on the screen with all the sensor status indicators overlayed for an efficient snapshot of the process. Overall a very nice small panel. My customer, who is used to PanelView, as also very impressed.

Good product but a bit fragile. For the price it is OK. Membrane sometimes loose that make you press the wrong button, so make sure buttons have a minimum distance between them on the touch screen. Help menu is not very good nor helpfull, I guess that is because this product is fairly new on the market. Lot of the tips on help menu or web forums refer to bigger models. You have to search and dig for information about this product. For example, I have a problem with displaying realtime clock on the screen, it seems it doesn't refresh, but nowhere I find the information to fix that.

The only thing that I did not like about this item/cost was the fact I could not dim the display. I could change the resolution,,, but not the same.

Great little touch screen HMI. good price. Easy interface to a Click PLC. Not always responsive to touch at perimeter of the screen, so don't put icons at the edge of the screen. Easy software coordination via variables between PLC and HMI.

First color touch screen HMI I've installed in our production line. Takes a little research to get it programmed but I am very happy with the results. Costs about the same as the push buttons, switches and counter/timer read outs it is replacing but saves the labor for wiring

This 4" screen is soooo much better than the 3" screens - brighter, full color, obviously larger. For all small projects in the future, this will be my go-to screen. I have recently developed two products using this screen. The clients were quite happy with the results.
