Writing to External Memory Devices
Different types of numeric and text data from the C-more touch panel can be stored on an
SD card or a USB memory device. Numeric data from Line Trend Graph and PID Faceplate
Trend Graph objects may be stored. Text data from Lookup Text and Multi-state Text
objects can also be stored.
Up to 16 objects may be configured in the C-more programming software to log data. Along
with the 16 object limit, available storage on the external memory device is subject to the
memory capacity of the SD card or USB memory device. One log file is created in a 24 hour
period for each object. Additionally logging data is initially stored in the buffer in the panel
MRAM and data is written to the external memory device:
• when 2kB of data is cached,
• when 20 records have been stored,
• periodically, once every 1 minute,
• when one of the “SYS Copy LogTo %device%” or “SYS %device% Eject” tags is turned on.
• when there is an email or FTP action
• when the System Screen is called
• when the panel date is changed

Minimizing Data Errors
To minimize data errors when logging data to external memory, consider the following:
• Do not turn off power to the C-more touch panel while the external memory device is being
accessed. The optional EA-AC power adapter is designed to protect external memory devices from
damage during power failure.
• Do not remove any external memory device with the device is being accessed by the
The following internal tags should be used to monitor, access and safely remove external
memory devices:
• Be sure to backup the memory device at regular intervals.
• If you suspect the memory device is bad, you may want to use a PC to re-format the device, or use a
known good memory device.
• The number of times the memory device can be written to is limited. Consequently, logging
frequently will may shorten the service life of the memory device. Using slower sample rates will
increase the life of the device.

File Name Limitations
There is a limit of 999 file names with the same first four characters. Internal file names are
restricted by the DOS 8-character-dot-3-character limit. Therefore trend log files are identified
internally by the first four characters of the object name plus tilde plus a three digit number.
Examples are:
TREND GRAPH EAST CHILLER TEMP_130925.txt is saved internally as TREN~001.txt
TREND GRAPH WEST CHILLER TEMP_130925.txt is saved internally as TREN~002.txt
As new log files are created in each 24 hour period, these files count against the maximum of
999 files. If multiple graph objects appear on one screen, the files will be identified internally
by the first Two Characters of the screen name plus the first Two Characters of the object
name plus tilde plus three digit number.
To maximize storage capabilities on external memory devices use screen names that have
unique characters in the first four digits and object names that are unique in the first two
characters.
NOTE: When the 999 filename limit is reached, the oldest files will automatically be deleted and logging will
continue.
Power Loss Retention
When a power loss is detected, the panel will attempt to complete all data logging operations
safely.
The power retention while using a DC power is not long enough to complete writes to an SD
Card or USB device. An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) should be considered.

AC/DC Power Adapter
Chapter 3 - Accessories
The optional C-more AC/DC Power Adapter can be used to power the C-more touch panels
from a 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hertz, voltage source. The adapter provides 24 VDC @ 1.5 A
to the touch panel’s DC power connector and can be conveniently secured to the touch panel
with two captive screws. The adapter provides a power loss signal to the touch panel that
causes the touch panel to stop writing data to SD memory devices providing a controlled
shutdown for increased data logging reliability.

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

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
Chapter 4 - Installation and Wiring
The installation and wiring of the C-more® touch panels requires selecting an appropriate
location for the touch panel, laying out the cutout dimensions on the surface of the control
cabinet that the panel will be mounted through, securing the touch 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 touch panel.
NOTE: Each C-more touch panel is provided with a cutout template to make marking the proper cutout size on the
surface of the control cabinet that the panel will be mounted through a simple task.
This chapter covers the proper mounting of the touch panel and connecting power. Once
power is applied to the touch panel, the user will want to read Chapter 5 on the System Setup
Screens in order to set the internal time and date for the panel, become familiar with the
touch panel test features, and check memory options.

Providing Power to the Touch Panel
• Connect a dedicated 12-24 VDC Class 2 power supply to the DC connector on the rear of the
C-more touch panel, include wiring the ground terminal to a proper equipment ground
• or install a C-more AC/DC Power Adapter, EA-AC, to the rear of the touch panel and connect an
AC voltage source of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hertz, to its AC connector (see note below)
• then turn on the power source and check the LED status indicators on the front and rear of the C-more touch panel for proper indication (see next page)
NOTE: A dedicated power supply is recommended. If the power supply also feeds inductive loads such as
solenoids or relays, the transients caused by these loads can affect the operation of the panel or damage panel
components.
