Step 6 – Connect C-more 6” Color Micro-Graphic Panel to Computer

NOTE: Install C-more Micro-Graphic Programming software before connecting the panel to the PC to ensure

the panel drivers install correctly.

Use a programming cable such as USB-CBL-AB6 from a USB port type A on the project
development PC to the USB port type B on the C-more 6” Color Micro Graphic Panel as
shown below. Any standard Type A to Type B USB cable can be used such as a standard USB
printer cable, maximum length 15’.

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.

Step 7 – Providing Power to the C-more 6” 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 6” 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.
