New C-more Micro HMI Touch Panels with built-in Ethernet from AutomationDirect

Two new C-more Micro touch panels are now available from AutomationDirect. C-more Micro panels display text, graphics, and bitmaps to effectively communicate critical HMI data to the operator.

Priced at $198.00, The EA3-S3ML C-more 3″ Micro touch panel has a 3.1-inch STN LCD monochrome display and twelve selectable LED-driven backlight colors. It features a 128 x 64 pixel display, and five user-defined function keys with red LED indicators. The panel can display up to 10 lines by 32 characters of static text and up to 10 lines by 21 characters of dynamic text with embedded variables and phrases mixed with graphics.

The EA3-T4CL C-more 4″ Widescreen Micro touch panel (priced at $269.00) has a 4.3-inch TFT LCD 480 x 272 pixel display (WQVGA) and a palette of 32K colors for customizing objects, screen backgrounds and displaying bitmap graphics. This 4-inch widescreen panel has a built-in Alarm Control setup that activates beep, backlight flash, customized alarm banner, and red LED blinking.

Both the 3-inch and 4-inch touch panels have two serial communications ports, one micro-USB programming port and one built-in RJ45 Ethernet port.

These Micro panels are powered from a Class 2, 12-24 VDC power supply and can also receive power from the serial communications port of most AutomationDirect PLCs or through the USB port when connected to a PC for programming. These new panels are programmed using the free downloadable EA-MG-PGMSW programming software.

The panels are NEMA 4/4X and IP65 rated (for indoor use only) and are backed by a full two-year warranty.
