The Purpose of this Manual
Thank you for purchasing from our C-more® Micro family of products. This manual
describes AutomationDirect.com’s C-more Micro panels, 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 products. It also helps you understand how to interface the panels to other devices in a
control system.
This user manual contains important information for personnel who will install the panels
and accessories, and for the personnel who will be programming the panel. If you understand
control systems making use of operating interfaces such as the C-more Micro panels, 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 panel. You may also
refer to the online help that is available in the C-more Micro programming software.
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.

EA3-S3ML-RN and EA3-S3ML-R C-more Micro panels include a built-in RJ12 RS-232
serial communications port designated as Port 1. The EA-MG-PGM-CBL programming cable
assembly connects to this port for programming the C-more Micro with a PC. In operation,
the DV-1000CBL cable is used to connect to any AutomationDirect PLC with an RJ12 port.
These panels are powered through Port1 when using either of these cables.

Step 9 – Connect C-more Micro Panel to PLC
Connect the serial communications cable between the C-more Micro panel and the PLC. The
panel can be connected to the PLC via the panel’s built-in RJ12 serial communications port
(RS-232) or depending on model, the 15-pin serial communications port with either RS-232,
RS-422 or RS-485 communications. Adding the optional EA-ECOM module to the EA3 6,8
and 10-inch models allows communications via an Ethernet connection. An Ethernet port is
built-in to the EA3-S3ML and EA3-T4CL.
