NOTE: When the panel is powered through Port1 from a connected PC, the screen brightness is diminished
because the panel is running in Low-Power Mode. Connect an external 12-24 VDC power source when the
panel is installed in its application for full brightness.
Page 25
Step 7 – Providing Power to the C-more Color Micro-Graphic Panel
Power can be supplied to the C-more Micro-Graphic panel in one of three different ways.
1). The panel is powered by a 1 Amp @ 12-24 VDC power source in normal operation.
2). The C-more Micro-Graphic panel can be powered during programming from the PC through a
USB Programming Cable such as USB-CBL-AB6. When powered from the PC, the panel will
operate in Low-Power mode and the screen brightness is diminished.

Chemical Compatibility
The C-more Micro-Graphic panels are built of three different materials that may be exposed to
elements outside of the enclosure. The panel’s screen has a polyester (PET) surface. The bezel
uses ABS plastic materials and the panel’s gasket is a silicone rubber material. The following
tables are provided to make you aware of the general compatibility between chemicals that may
be present in your work environment and the various materials used in the manufacture of the
panel. Use the table to determine those chemicals that are safe to use around your C-more
Micro-Graphic panel and those that may harm it. The tables are made up of specifications
provided by the manufacturer of the listed material. The tables rate these chemicals as either
Excellent, Good, Not Recommended, or Not Usable. Because the ratings are for ideal
conditions at room temperature, consider all factors when evaluating your application. Areas left
blank have not been tested by the manufacturer of the materials and therefore information of
compatibility is not available.

Micro-Graphic Panel Objects
Object Graphic Object Graphic
The Line object, just like with drawing tools, allows the user to insert a
straight line drawing into a project. When a Line is inserted into a
project, a window opens to allow the user to setup all available
parameters for the Line object. Some of the uses for Line Objects
include but are not limited to adding callouts, pointers, or indicators.
The Graphic Indicator Light object is a more enhanced version of the
“Indicator Light Object” that allows the user to choose more detailed
graphics to display the status of a tag. This object is an electronic
version of a typical Indicator Light normally found on industrial control
panels. The Indicator Light can be configured to display the status of the
assigned Discrete Tag Name.
The Rectangle object, just like with drawing tools, allows the user to
insert a drawing of a Rectangle as well as other geometric shapes into
a project. When this object is inserted into a project, a window opens to
allow the user to setup all available parameters for the Rectangle object.
The Numeric Display consists of a frame that displays a real-time
numeric value according to the value of data received from an assigned
Tag Name. The Numeric Display supports numeric Signed Decimal,
Unsigned Decimal, BCD, and Floating Point data types with up to 11
digits, including decimal point. User Defined Alpha Numeric Prefix and
Suffix values are also supported.
The Circle object, just like with drawing tools, allows the user to insert
a drawing of a Circle or ellipse shape into a project. When this object is
inserted into a project, a window opens to allow the user to setup all
available parameters for the Circle object.
The Numeric Entry object is used to enter a value from your Panel to
a PLC Register. This object, when selected, opens a Numeric Keypad
that allows the user to enter a new value that will be written to the
assigned Tag Name. The Numeric Entry supports numeric Signed
Decimal, Unsigned Decimal, BCD, and Floating Point data types with up
to 11 digits, including decimal points. User Defined Alpha Numeric Prefix
and Suffix values are also supported.
The Frame object allows the user to insert a Frame to the project that
can be used to Frame other objects. Some of the uses for Frame object
include but are not limited to graphically separating objects for different
operations that may appear on one screen and emphasizing
pushbuttons or other objects that may require more attention by the
operator.
The Increment/Decrement Value object is used to add or subtract a
value by pressing a button on the Panel. Basically the object uses two
Tags, one to read a value from and another to write a modified value to.

Light. The Indicator Button can be used to activate or deactivate
components assigned to a Discrete Tag Name.
The Bar Graph object is used to monitor up to two assigned Tag Names
continuously. This object has various appearances depending upon the
relative value of the tags. The Bar Graph can be used to create digital
versions of level, current, and flow meters to name a few samples, or
gauges that measure speed and other measurable data.
The Tri-State Switch Object consists of a set of three Pushbuttons that
allow to configure the first button to the left as a Reset that turns the
other two buttons Off, and configure the other two buttons with individual
Discrete Tag Names.
The Bitmap Button object offers the ability to use a Bitmap graphic to
perform the functions of a Button. This allows users to create their own
graphics and implement them within the software project. The Bitmap
Button object can be used to activate or deactivate components
assigned to a Discrete Tag Name.
The Indicator Light object is an electronic version of a typical Indicator
Light normally found on industrial control panels. The Indicator Light can
be configured to display the status of the assigned Discrete Tag Name.
The Static Bitmap offers the ability to display a Bitmap graphic on any
screen. The Static Bitmap does not change state. Refer to the Dynamic
Bitmap Object if you require the graphic object to change state based
on a Tag Value in your PLC. The dialog box for a "Static Bitmap" object
allows you to "read from disk" and select a graphic file for import.

is On and a different graphic when the Tag is Off. Use your own bitmap
designs or use some of the bitmaps provided with the software that are
located in the User Graphic Library.
The Scroll Text object is available from the Text Category of the Object
List window. The Scroll Text object is an electronic version of a marquee.
It is similar to the Static Text Object. If the text in the object does not fit
in the window, it will scroll from right to left across the window. The Scroll
Text object does not require a Tag Name assignment. The Scroll Text
Object has a maximum character limit of 128 characters.
The Multi-State Bitmap (version 2.50 and later) displays one of up to
16 images based on the status of a tag value assigned to each image.
It can be used to create animation.
The Screen Change Pushbutton object is available from the Control
Category of the Object List window. The Screen Change Pushbutton
object is a pushbutton that can be configured to activate another screen
in the project. This object may be edited to various colors and sizes.
Users can configure the button to activate the Power-Up screen,
Forward Screen, Previous Screen, or any one of the project screens.
Recipe objects make it easy to make a large number of tag changes
with the push of a single button. Create Recipes with up to 99 entries,
and multiple sets of values. Then just push a button to load an entire set
of values into the group of recipe tags.
The Screen Selector object is available from the Control Category of
the Object List window. This object is an enhanced version of the
Screen Change pushbutton in that it offers many more features and
defaults with data from screens in the project. This helps to save time by
not having to create Screen change buttons for each screen. This object
may be edited to various colors and sizes.
The Static Text object is used to display a Frame with a personalized
Message. This Frame and Message can be placed on any screen and
any location within the screen.
The Adjust Contrast object is used to allow the operator to adjust the
Panel Display Contrast. The default Display setting often works in most
applications, however lighting may vary based on the location of each
application. In these cases the operator can use this object to make
adjustments. The current display setting value will appear on the top of
the button and will change as the arrow keys are pressed. This button
can be modified to various sizes.
The Lookup Text object is used to display a Frame with a personalized
Message. This Frame and Message can be placed on any screen and
any location within the screen. The object is always displayed like a sign
but is configured to display only the message prompted by an assigned
Tag Name. Messages are retrieved from a Message Database which is
configured by the user with text defined by the user. The Lookup Text
Object will scroll text up to 128 characters.
The Function object is used to assign the panels function key buttons
to a particular action as well as assigning the control of the LED On/Off
status. When a button has been assigned as a shift button, the then F1
through F5 will become F6 through F10. The Function Object buttons
will activate when the hardware button is pressed or when the object is
pressed on the screen. The object size is restricted so that the keys will
line up with the hardware function keys on the panel.

Safety Guidelines
NOTE: Products with CE marks perform their required functions safely and adhere to relevant standards as
specified by CE directives provided they are used according to their intended purpose and that the
instructions in this manual are adhered to. The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if this
equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual. A listing of our international affiliates is available
on our Web site: http://www.automationdirect.com
WARNING: Providing a safe operating environment for personnel and equipment is your responsibility and
should be your primary goal during system planning and installation. Automation systems can fail and
may result in situations that can cause serious injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Do not rely
on the automation system alone to provide a safe operating environment. You should use external
electromechanical devices, such as relays or limit switches, that are independent of the PLC application
to provide protection for any part of the system that may cause personal injury or damage. Every
automation application is different, so there may be special requirements for your particular application.
Make sure you follow all national, state, and local government requirements for the proper installation
and use of your equipment.
Plan for Safety
The best way to provide a safe operating environment is to make personnel and equipment safety
part of the planning process. You should examine every aspect of the system to determine which areas
are critical to operator or machine safety. If you are not familiar with control system installation
practices, or your company does not have established installation guidelines, you should obtain
additional information from the following sources.
• NEMA — The National Electrical Manufacturers Association, located in Washington, D.C. publishes
many different documents that discuss standards for industrial control systems. You can order these
publications directly from NEMA. Some of these include:
ICS 1, General Standards for Industrial Control and Systems
ICS 3, Industrial Systems
ICS 6, Enclosures for Industrial Control Systems
• NEC — The National Electrical Code provides regulations concerning the installation and use of
various types of electrical equipment. Copies of the NEC Handbook can often be obtained from your
local electrical equipment distributor or your local library.
• Local and State Agencies — many local governments and state governments have additional
requirements above and beyond those described in the NEC Handbook. Check with your local
Electrical Inspector or Fire Marshall office for information.

Introduction
The installation and wiring of C-more Micro-Graphic panels require selecting an appropriate
location for the panel, laying out the cutout dimensions on the surface of the control cabinet
that the panel will be mounted through, securing the panel with the provided mounting clips,
tightening the screws to the appropriate torque rating to assure the gasket is sealing correctly,
and finally connecting the appropriate power source to the panel.
NOTE: Each C-more Micro-Graphic panel is provided with a cutout template to simplify marking the proper
cutout size on the surface of the control cabinet that the panel will be mounted through.The keypad bezels
are also provided with an appropriate cutout template for mounting convenience.
The C-more 4” and 6” Micro-Graphic panels include four mounting clips. They are fitted to the
panel by inserting two tabs into mating slots on the panel and then sliding the clip into a
narrower slot to secure it in place.
If using a 6” panel with a Keypad Bezel, then install the panel into the keypad bezel and secure
with the mounting clips that are provided with the panel to seal the panel gasket. Create a
cutout in the enclosure that the assembled panel and keypad bezel will be mounted through and
secure the assembly with the mounting clips that are provided with the keypad bezel. See
Chapter 3: Accessories for additional details.
NOTE: The 4” Micro-graphic panel (EA1-T4CL), C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panels (EA1-T6CL, EA1-S6ML &
EA1-S6MLW), 20-Button Keypad Bezel (EA-MG6-BZ2) and 21-Button Keypad Bezel (EA-MG6-BZ2P) use the
same type of mounting clip (EA-MG-BZ2-BRK).

Panel Cutout Dimensions
The C-more 4” and 6” Micro-Graphic panels are mounted into a cutout through the control
cabinet and secured with four (4) mounting clips. The mounting clips are provided with the
panel. There are slots on each side of the panel’s long dimension that the two tabs on each
mounting clip will match. The mounting clips are held in place by inserting the tabs into the
“T” shaped holes (slots) and then moving the mounting clip toward the rear of the panel to keep
it in place. Next tighten the mounting clip screws to pull the rear of the panel’s bezel to the
control cabinet’s mounting surface. The screws need to be tightened to the torque rating shown
in the illustration below so that the gasket is compressed to form the proper seal between the
panel and cabinet surface.
NOTE: In all installations, a 1.2” [30mm] minimum clearance is required inside an enclosure for proper
ventilation of the C-more Micro-Graphic panel.

Introduction
The C-more®Micro-Graphic panels include a series of built-in System Setup Screens that
allow the user to view detailed information about the panel, adjust features, test various
functions of the panel, clear memory, and reset all values and conditions back to the original
factory defaults.
The following is presented to give the user a detailed step by step look at:
• How to access the System Setup Screens
• What adjustments and features are available
• When and why the feature may need to be adjusted or used
• How to adjust and/or interrupt the features
The System Setup Screens are split into three categories to make it easy for the user to view
information, make adjustments, or test the panel. The three Setup Menu selections are:
Information
Here you will find detailed information about the panel’s available memory and usage, the
protocol being used by the panel, if an optional keypad bezel is installed and version
information for the firmware and boot loader.
Setting
This is the area for adjusting the brightness of the display, enabling or disabling the internal
beeper, calibrating the touch panel, clearing the user memory, resetting all of the settings back
to the factory defaults, and setting the loading screen hourglass icon delay time or disabling the
display of the hourglass icon.
The Setting factory default values are:
• Brightness value of 10
• The internal audible beeper enabled
• Forced touch panel calibration
• User program cleared from memory
• Hourglass icon delay of 350 ms.
• Horizontal display area orientation
Test Menu
The test menu includes options to initiate communication tests of the serial port, to test
communications with the PLC, to test operation of the panel’s beeper and to test the touch
panel surface. Refer to the serial port loop back test section of this chapter for details on loop
back connector wiring.

DirectLOGIC PLCs Password Protection
NOTE: DirectLOGIC PLCs support multi-level password protection of the ladder program. This allows
password protection while not locking the communication port to an operator interface. The multilevel
password can be invoked by creating a password with an upper case "A" followed by any variation of seven
numeric characters (e.g. A1234567). Please refer to the specific PLC user manual for further details.
Compatibility and Connection Charts
The following pages include charts that list the recommended cables and/or manufactured
devices that can be used to make up the communications link between several different
controllers and the C-more Micro-Graphic panel. Port2 is a 15-pin D-sub communication port
that supports RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422. An external 1 Amp @ 12-24 VDC external power
source is required.
Note: Recommended DC power supply to power the C-more Micro-Graphic Panel, AutomationDirect Part

GS Drives
Drivers specific to these AutomationDirect control devices make it convienient to communicate
with the C-more Micro-Graphic panels and simplify configuring objects with controller
addresses.
RS-422A/RS-485A Communications
When using the RS-422A/RS-485A communications capabilities of the C-more Micro-Graphic
Serial Port (Port 2), the termination resistor is placed between the RXD– and RXD+ terminals
on the PLC side of the connection between the touch panel and PLC. The Termination Resistor
value is based on the characteristic impedance of the cable being used. To enable the built-in
120 Ohm Termination Resistor, jumper pin 13 (termination resistor) to pin 9 (RXD+) on the
C-more 15-pin PLC communications port.
Allen-Bradley
As stated in this chapter’s introduction, the panel also has the ability to communicate with
Allen-Bradley PLCs that support the Allen-Bradley DF1 and DH485 protocols. The chart for
the various Allen-Bradley PLCs includes recommended cables.
