Reviews for C-more EA9 Series Touch Panels
The C-more EA9 series touch panel HMIs deliver top-notch functionality and value with logic, math, alarming, remote accessibility, and a myriad of supported protocols. A headless EA9 C-more interface is also available to drive other display options.

Exact replacement for older series HMI. Program upconverted perfectly with free software. Only thing that required attention was the opening in the cabinet door had to be enlarged very slightly in a few places for the HMI panel to fit.

We have been using this same model (including previous version) for at least 7 years. It performs as expected functionally but we have had re-occurring issues with the outer screen surface warping when shipping a finished control panel to a customer. We cover the screen with cardboard and then shrink wrap it. It may stay that way for up to 30 days and when the panel is revealed from the packaging material the touch surface is distorted with waves of warping and cannot be used. We have contacted Automation Direct in the past and they say there is no way to repair it. We had 2 more fail this week. If design was a category that I was rating I would give this feature a poor rating.
AutomationDirect note:The EA9-T12CL has been testing to its maximum storage temperature rating of 60 Deg C. If this is exceeded, the ABS housing can warp, also the PET overlay can stretch causing waving. The mounting clips maximum torque is 106 oz-in, if exceeded, it can cause the panel housing to warp. A calibrated torque screw driver should be used when mounting the HMI.

I love the remote access and data logging features. Simple to set up and easy to use. Programming interface is simple and intuitive. It is a pleasure to work with the customer service representatives. Little to no wait and they really know their products. Easier to use, lower price and more features that the other manufacturers' HMI products that I have used.

We used the EA9-RHMI as a way to put touch controls on an existing machine. that machine had windows running in the back ground so all i did was install chrome and i made the home screen go straight the the web interface of the EA9-RHMI. Works great just wish the screens and buttons would update a little faster.

I've been using the C-more EA9 15" screens. Unfortunately they were out of stock. However, Automation direct offers the EA9-RHMI headless HMI. I paired it with a Tru-Vu 17" screen and it worked great. Simple to connect and use.

The EA9 series touch panels are a solid mid-range HMI. For the price point, the hardware platform is robust and the software reasonably functional and inexpensive. I've deployed them in many places over the years and all are still in service. The brightness, contrast and touch sensitivity are spot-on, a trait normally associated with higher-end HMIs. A couple of nit-picks however; Color ranges and controls are limited and the tag organization is primitive and not intuitive. It's also difficult (and limited) to customize button / indicator objects.

The C-More software is outstanding in it's simplicity and ease of use. The available objects will suite 99 percent of an engineer's needs, when designing clean, work-flow oriented screens. I especially liked the ability to layer multiple objects and control their interaction and visibility through boolean tags and even math functions. The twin crown jewels, in the Automation Direct organization, are the Software Team and the Tech Support Group. In ALL of my years writing PLC code, I have never found it as easy to work with large blocks of data as I find it when using the Productivity Suite and C-More softwares. Their approach to function blocks and objects has turned my difficult job into a pleasant experience. Thank you. I was very pleased when I found the product is designed in the USA and the software is supported in the USA. NO international waiting for responses and no troubles understanding the person, with whom I am trying to converse. Lastly, I have found the Tech Support department second to none in their industry. Never, with any other PLC company, have I felt as comfortable calling for support, as I feel when I call Automation Direct Tech Support. They always have left me with a good solid answer or, in the rare instances when they did not have an immediate answer, I have learned to be confident in their diligence. They ALWAYS called me back and they have ALWAYS helped me to find a workable solution. THUMBS UP to Automation Direct.

The EA9-T10WCL arrived yesterday. Within one-half hour, I had it running multiple screens to show activity on a Productivity 1000 PLC. After just a little experimentation, I had it connected to two P-1000 PLCs to display status and activity on both PLCs. It is just as easy to use as the Crimson units that I've used in the past, but at 1/4th the price. I should have ordered the unit a long time ago. Highly recommended.

I've used C-More products for years to include EA7 and C-More Micro... and they just keep getting better. Love this HMI, nice to tuck it away in a safe space while having viewing and control access from multiple locations. The PC and Phone interfaces work great and really that is what it is all about, good software that works. The purchase that prompted this review was for my home. A solar generator I am setting up for emergency power. Put it in my router closet and is likely the beginning of many more Home Automation projects to come.

I have been using HMI's from AutomationDirect since the early 2000's and the only complaint I've ever received is that there weren't larger screen sizes available. This product has finally made it possible to give the users a bigger screen, viewable from farther away, with more flexible mounting options. Coupled with the excellent Cmore programming software, this is going to be my go-to HMI solution.

Great panel, very snappy CPU, and the touchscreen is plenty sensitive. Brightness and contrast are good. One thing to improve could be resolution: 1024*768 on 15" looks grainy.

This product suited completely my application. Mostly of the problem in the work area was the dust and humidity, installing the headless HMI reduced the maintenance cost/downtime in the factory. Replacing just the inexpensive touch screen when a problem happens instead the whole HMI and installing the project again.

Best HMIs on the market. Software just makes sense, I could easily start creating displays without ever being told how to use the software. Download times are amazingly fast compared to AB panelview plus. Great features like blinking screen of destination panel (great if you are on a network with a lot of them.) Simulation is great. If my customer has not spec'd AB HMIs I buy Cmore. Great value!

I was able to connect 5 Allen Bradley PLC's to one Headless HMI, 4 old SLC 5 and one ControlLogix PLC easy to transfer the tag's or if you know the address just add the tags without transfer the whole file. Is in the Ethernet IP network so with the Cmore app I can watch the display in my phone or tablet . Very good product A++++
