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.
