The Purpose of This Manual

Thank you for purchasing our C-more® human-machine interface (HMI) family of products. This manual describes AutomationDirect.com’s C-more headless HMI, its specifications, included components and available accessories and provides you with important information for installation, connectivity and setup. The manual shows you how to install, wire and use the product. It also helps you understand how to interface the HMI to other devices in a control system.

This user manual contains important information for personnel who will install the HMI and accessories and for the personnel who will be programming the HMI. If you understand control systems that make use of operating interfaces such as the C-more RHMI, our user manuals will provide all the information you need to get and keep your system up and running.

Supplemental Manuals

If you are familiar with industrial control type devices, you may be able to get up and running with just the aide of the Quick Start Guide that is included with each HMI. You should also refer to the On-line help that is available in the C-more programming software for more information about programming the panel.

Technical Support

We strive to make our manuals the best in the industry. We rely on your feedback to let us know if we are reaching our goal. If you cannot find the solution to your particular application, or, if for any reason you need technical assistance, please call us at:

770–844–4200

Our technical support group will work with you to answer your questions. They are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time. We also encourage you to visit our web site where you can find technical and non-technical information about our products and our company.

Download the latest version of the C-more Programming Software, p/n EA9-PGMSW, from the Automationdirect website. Alternately, if the C-more Programming Software CD is available, you may install from the software CD. Refer to the AutomationDirect website for current minimum system requirements for installation.

For software download installation, follow the screen prompts to download and install the C-more Programming Software.

For CD installation, insert the supplied CD into the PC’s CD drive and navigate to the CD drive location on the PC. Double-click on EA_Setup.exe and follow the instructions. If you need assistance during the software installation, call the AutomationDirect Technical Support team @ 770-844-4200.

NOTES: Regarding Ethernet access to a C-more panel. If you intend to take advantage of the methods of remote access to the panel, including the web server, PC remote access, FTP, iOS or Android app, you need to consider the security exposure in order to minimize the risks to your process and your C-more panel.

Security measures may include password protection, changing the ports exposed on your network, including a VPN in your network, and other methods. Security should always be carefully evaluated for each installation. Refer to Appendix C - Security Considerations for Control Systems Networks.

C-more EA9-RHMI. Make sure to connect the ground terminal to a proper equipment ground.

• Then turn on the power source and check the LED status indicators on the front of the C-more EA9-RHMI 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 or cause damage to HMI components.

The System Screen is displayed A System Screen password is ignored.

The CPU LED will blink ORANGE. See “No System Found” in Chapter 8 - Troubleshooting

If no project is loaded in the HMI, the message “No User Program” will be displayed on a connected display. The RUN LED will be orange.

If a password has been set up for the System Screen, the RUN LED will blink orange.

User Defined LED

The user defined LED on the EA9-RHMI can be controlled from the project to illuminate red, green or orange. It can also be configured to blink these colors. Refer to the online help file provided with the programming software for details.

Step 7 – Access the EA9-RHMI Setup Screens

• Access the Main Menu of the EA9-RHMI System Setup Screens by changing the selector switch on the front of the unit to STOP.

• Adjust the time and date for the panel by pressing the Setting button on the Main Menu. Then press the Adjust Clock button on the Setting screen.

• Use the right-pointing arrows for the time or date display to select the unit to change. Use the up and down arrows to increment or decrement the value for the selected unit.

• Press OK when done to accept the changes to the time and date in the HMI or press Cancel to exit the Adjust Clock setup screen without making any changes.

• Press the Main Menu button on the Setting screen and then the Exit button on the Main Menu screen to return to the application screen.

• Change the selector switch on the front of the unit to RUN.
