C-more operator panel

C-more touch panels from Automation Direct are fully programmable and provide power and flexibility. The panel displays are available in either greyscale (15 shades of grey) or full colour (256 to 64,536 colours, depending on model). STN greyscale and colour displays are available in a 6" touch screen. Colour TFT touch screens are available in 6, 8, 10, 12 or 15" versions.

Hardware features include an analog touch screen that eliminates defined touch cell boundaries so objects can be placed, scaled and overlapped without limitation. Reliable 50,000 h backlights for the touch screens are user replaceable on all but the 6" models. C-more 6, 8 and 10" units are equipped with 10 MB project memory and 12 and 15" units contain 40 MB of project space.

A host of communication options is available, including serial RS232, RS422/485 and ethernet 10/100Base-T ports. C-more has two USB ports, one Type A and one Type B. The Type B port uses a standard USB cable and connects the panel to a PC for fast and easy project transfers. The type A port accepts devices such as a USB flash drive. Optional Compact Flash cards up to 1 GB or USB memory devices can be installed in most models to accommodate alarm, event and message logging. An audio output port, when attached to an amplifier and speaker(s), can play warning sounds or pre-recorded messages. C-more is programmed with easy-to-use Windows-based configuration software.
