C-More and C-More Micro Graphic Touch Screens

C-more touch panels provide a graphical interface designed to interchange and display graphics, animation and data to and from a PLC by merely touching the screen. You can virtually replace every pushbutton, switch, meter, and other peripheral device with one C-more touch panel.


C-more touch screen panels are available in either grayscale (15 shades of gray) or full color. Grayscale and color STN panels are available with a 6" display. TFT color units are available in 6", 8", 10", 12" and 15" display versions.

C-more Micro-Graphic panels are a new generation of graphic display and text display panels based on the very successful C-more touch panel design. The C-more Micro-Graphic is a low cost panel offering a 3 inch or 6 inch screen to display graphics as well as text. Touch screen and non-touch screen panel versions are available.

Ethernet / Serial / Wireless Communications

Practical Industrial Control and Information Communications

Use AutomationDirect’s communication products to provide a link via phone, Ethernet or serial connection to your industrial controllers.
  • Serial products include cable kits, RS-232/422 network adapters and converters and an industrial modem
  • Ethernet products range from switches and hubs to adapter cards for your PC
  • Wireless products include our series of radio modems

Coordinated control

Communication links between controllers can be used to create robust, modular control systems. Sharing data between separate operations enables each local controller to better contribute to the system's overall performance. Whether separated by feet or by miles, your controllers can access what’s going on in the world around them.

Remote support

Remotely access machine or process controllers for troubleshooting, configuring, updating or monitoring the system. Whether it’s your production facility or your controller in a customer’s facility, having convenient and secure remote access ensures maximum production with minimal support costs.

Commercial Grade vs. Industrial Grade

Before you take a risk with commercial grade products to save a few bucks, ask yourself how much just one field failure will cost you in service time, reputation, and money.
  • Communication products not designed to operate in the heat, cold, or humidity of an industrial site or products not ruggedized for power spikes and vibration don’t have to quit working to cause headaches.

  • Communication products, along with cables and connectors, are notorious for causing those irritating intermittent control system bugs that inevitably absorb loads of troubleshooting man hours over a few dollars in parts.

  • Neither your customer nor your family wants you onsite resolving a late night or weekend communication link issue.

Software

We have cost-effective and easy to use software to fill your industrial computing needs like: data logging, data monitoring, data server, electrical design, I/O server, PC control and PLC or HMI programming. Check out our Software and let us know if you have any questions!
