NOTE: Mounting clips for the panel and keypad bezels are included with the respective product.
Step 3 – Become Familiar with Available Communication Ports
The C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panel includes a built-in RS-232 serial communications port
designated as Port1. This port uses an RJ12 type telephone jack to make connections to either
the EA-MG-PGM-CBL programming cable assembly or a communications cable, such as an
EA-2CBL, to interface with a PLC or controller. The panel can receive power through this port
from the serial communications port on AutomationDirect CLICK™ and select
Direct LOGIC PLCs. The other serial communications port designated as Port2 is a 15-pin Dsub connector that supports RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422.
NOTE: When the 6” panel is powered through Port1 from a connected PLC or PC, the screen brightness is
diminished because the panel is running in Low-Power Mode. For full brightness, connect an external
12-24 VDC power source to the panel’s power connection. Low-Power Mode is intended for initial
programming. For full brightness, connect an external 12-24 VDC power source when the panel is installed
in its application.
NOTE: See Chapter 2: Specifications and Chapter 6: PLC Communications for additional details on the
available communication ports, protocols and cables.
NOTE: The panel has a built-in RJ12 serial communications port (Port1 - RS-232) and a built in 15-pin serial
communications port (Port2 - RS-232/422/485). Only one of the ports can be used with a connected PLC.
The programming software allows the user to select either Port1 or Port2 under the Panel Manager dialog
box. When using Port2 to communicate with the connected PLC, Port1 can still be used with the EA-MGPGM-CBL Software Programming Cable Assembly to transfer projects between the PC and panel.

Step 4 – Install C-more 6” Micro-Graphic Panel
The C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panel can be mounted through a cutout in an enclosure by using
the template that is provided with the panel, or using the dimensions shown below. Cutout
dimensions for the 20-button landscape and 21-button portrait keypad bezel options are also
shown below. The keypad bezels also include a template that can be used. The enclosure
mounting thickness range for the panels and the keypad bezels is 0.04”–0.2” [1–5 mm].
The screw torque range for the screws used on the panel mounting clips and the keypad bezel
mounting clips is 21-28 oz-in [0.15-0.2 Nm].
See Chapter 2: Specifications for additional product dimensions.

Step 6 – Connect C-more 6” 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 an EA-MG-PGM-CBL, USB to RS-232 Programming Cable Assembly, from an USB
port type A on the project development PC, through the supplied converter, to the RJ12 RS232 programming/PLC serial communications port on the C-more Micro-Graphic panel as
shown below.

NOTE: When the panel is powered through Port1 from a connected PLC or PC, the screen brightness is
diminished because the panel is running in Low-Power Mode. For full brightness, connect an external
12-24 VDC power source to the panel’s power connection. Low-Power Mode is intended for initial
programming. For full brightness, connect an external 12-24 VDC power source when the panel is installed
in its application.

Step 7 – Providing Power to the C-more 6” Micro-Graphic Panel
Power can be supplied to the C-more Micro-Graphic panel in one of three different ways.
1.) During operation, the panel functions in High-Power Mode when powered by a minimum 1 Amp
12 - 24 VDC power source. Recommended power supplies are AutomationDirect part number
PSP24-024S or PSP24-024C.
2.) The C-more Micro-Graphic panel is powered during programming from the PC through the USB
to RS-232 Programming Cable Assembly, EA-MG-PGM-CBL. The panel will operate in Lowpower mode when powered by the PC and result in a dim screen.
3.) Optionally, the C-more Micro-Graphic panel can function in Low-Power Mode powered from most
AutomationDirect PLC’s RJ12 serial communications port. Use a DV-1000CBL communications
cable, or a DV-1000CBL communications cable with a FA-15HD 15-pin HD DSub/RJ12 Adapter
connected to most AutomationDirect PLC’s 15-pin HD communications port (DL06, D2-250-1
& D2-260) PLCs for Low-Power operation. See Chapter 6: PLC Communications for additional
details. The panel will operate in low-power mode when powered by the PC.

Step 8 – Accessing the C-more 6” Micro-Graphic Panel Setup Screens
To access the Setup Menu of the panel’s setup screens, press the the BAK [F1] and ENT [F5]
function keys simultaneously for three (3) seconds.
From the Setup Menu, information about the panel can be obtained, settings can be adjusted,
and panel functions can be tested.
NOTE: See Chapter 5: System Setup Screens for details on using the setup screen settings and functions.
