The C-more family of touch panels is capable of communicating with a wide variety of Programmable Logic Controllers. C-more is capable of communicating over RS232, RS422 and RS485 serial networks as well as Ethernet networks. It communicates with all AutomationDirect PLC’s utilizing various protocols. C-more also communicates with other brands of PLCs by their different protocols. The table on the next page lists all of the various PLCs and protocols that can be configured. The page after the protocol table lists the various serial communication cables that are available to purchase. The rest of this chapter is devoted to show the pin to pin connections of all the available cables plus wiring diagrams that the user can refer to in order to construct their own cables, along with wiring diagrams of cables that are not available for purchase. To simplify RS422/RS485 wiring schemes, we have included wiring diagrams showing connections for available terminal connectors such as our ZIPLink Communication Adapter Module, p/n ZL-CMA15, used for example with our DL-06 and D2-260 PLCs and C-more D-Sub 15-pin to Terminal Block Adapter p/n EA-COMCON-3.

If you have difficulty determining whether the particular PLC and/or protocol you are using will work with the C-more series of touch panels, please contact our technical support group at 770-844-4200

NOTE: Many DirectLogic PLCs support multi-level password protection of the ladder program. This allows password protection while not locking the communication port to an operator interface. The multilevel password can be invoked by creating a password with an upper case “A” followed by seven numeric characters (e.g. A1234567). Please refer to the specific PLC user manual for further details.

When using the RS-422A/RS-485A capabilities of the C-more PLC communications port, the

termination resistor is placed between the RXD– and RXD+ terminals on the PLC side of the connection between the touch panel and PLC. The Termination Resistor value is based on the characteristic impedance of the cable being used. To enable the built-in 120 Ohm Termination Resistor, jumper pin 13 to pin 9 (RXD+) on the C-more 15-pin PLC communications port.
