C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Communication and Updating Firmware

Establishing communication and updating the C-More firmware will be shown.
We will now put our first program into the C-More EA9 HMI Panel using the C-More programming software. The Do-more Designer Simulator will be used with a modified Start Stop Jog Circuit so we can use our HMI screen to monitor the output as well as control the inputs on the PLC.
Communications will be established to our C-More EA9-T10CL unit and the firmware will be updated. We will then develop our control for our PLC ladder logic circuit.
The PLC logic for our circuit can be found in our post: How to Make a Start / Stop / Jog Circuit in a PLC. Our C-More EA9 HMI Panel will be communicating to the PLC simulator via Ethernet with the Modbus TCP protocol. Let’s get started.

More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

There are several reasons that we are using the EA9-T10CL C-More HMI Panel. Here are a few:
• Touch screen display (LCD) 280 NITS display brightness
• 10.4” diagonal color TFT (Thin Film Transistor)
• Analog resistive (1024 X 1024) touch screen allowing unlimited touch areas
• EA9-PGMSW programming software
• 800 x 600-pixel display
• 64K colors
• 50,000-hour average backlight half-life
• USB port B (program/download) and USB port A (USB device options)
• Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port (program/download & PLC communication
• Remote Internet Access
• Serial PLC interface (RS-232/422/485)
• One built-in SD memory card slot
• 12–24 VDC powered (18W), 110VAC power adapter (optional)
• Audio Line Out, stereo - requires amplifier and speaker(s)
• 26MB project memory
• Data logging
• 0 to 50°C [32 to 122°F] operating temperature range
• NEMA 4/4X, IP65 compliant when mounted correctly, indoor use only
• Slim design saves panel space
• UL, cUL & CE agency approvals
• 2-year warranty from date of purchase
