C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Object List Alarms
We will now look at the C-More Alarms in the EA9 HMI. The C-More HMI Panel software uses virtual components called Objects. These objects are programmable to simulate the functions that you require on your automation project. Pushbuttons, Switches, meters, and graphs are just a few of the objects that are available to you.
The Alarm List Objects include a variety of options to customize the display of
alarms as a screen. This is in addition to the alarm banner at the bottom of the screen that shows the active alarms. We also have the Alarm Screen Style setting in Panel Manager.
We will now look at the object list alarms that we can use with our HMI panel. The alarm objects that are available on the C-More EA9 are the Alarm List and Call Alarm Screen. Alarms are specified as an event in the C-More HMI panel. We will program both discrete (On/Off) and limits on a range for our event alarms. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Define Custom Keypad
We will now look at the C-More EA9 custom keypad for our HMI. The C-More HMI Panel software uses popup system default keypads. I recently was asked to enlarge the keypad to make editing easier.
We will now look at enlarging the existing system default keypads. This is especially good with touch screens over 10 inches. We will also look at how to define a custom keypad for the C-More HMI. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Object List Bitmaps
C-More bitmaps will use BMP files for buttons, dynamic, multi-state, and animated items on the HMI. The C-More HMI Panel software uses virtual components called Objects. These objects are programmable to simulate the functions that you require on your automation project. Pushbuttons, Switches, meters, and graphs are just a few of the available things to you.
We will now look at the object list bitmaps that we can use with our HMI panel. A bitmap is an image file format used to store digital pictures (images). The extension used to represent a bitmap file is BMP. The bitmap objects available on the C-More EA9 are Bitmap Button, Static Bitmap, Dynamic Bitmap, Multi-State Bitmap, and Animation Bitmap. Let’s get started.

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Object List Shapes
We will now look at the C-More EA9 object shapes. These shapes can move and resize when connected to the PLC. The C-More HMI Panel software uses virtual components called Objects. These objects are programmable to simulate the functions that you require on your automation project.
Pushbuttons, Switches, meters, and graphs are just a few of the objects that are available to you. We can place several of these objects on one screen and have multiple panel screens. This helps you produce simple, intuitive looking human-machine interfaces. We will be looking at our program we have so far developed (Simulate Project) and add shapes to a new screen page. These shapes can move and resize when interacting with the PLC. The navigation of the objects and additional information will also be discussed. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Simulate Project
We will now look at the C-More simulate project mode on the C-More EA9 Software. The C-More HMI Panel programming software has a simulation mode. This simulator will allow you to test your project before transferring it to a panel. Testing your application is a vital step in HMI program development. This feature of the software will save you time and money especially if your hardware is not available. The simulator will display two windows. There is a graphical display of your HMI panel and a simulation control window. The
control window will allow you to control variables in the project similar to a PLC.
We will be looking at our program developed last time (Common Screen Menu) and use the simulator to mimic how the PLC and HMI Panel will communicate in the field. This will help to detect any problems before we transfer to our panel. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel Common Screen Menu
We will now look at programming in our C-More, common screen menus. Allowing operators of your HMI (Human Machine Interface) panel to easily navigate all of the information available is a vital part of programming. We want to present the information to the operator so they will clearly understand the programmed operation of the unit. Common menus on the HMI panel pages will allow the quick navigation, understanding, and control that your operators want. When programming operator interfaces I have always heard to use the KISS method. (Keep It Stupidly Simple.) Your HMI program interface could contain hundreds of pages containing vital information for operator understanding and control, but you must make it easily accessible and intuitive. This is how you design and program a good HMI panel display.
We will be creating a common screen menu for our C-More EA9 HMI Panel using the C-More programming software. Using our previous program created we will be making a background screen to act as our menu system. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

Click PLC EasyPLC Warehouse Stacker Operation
The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines that are used to show different programming techniques. The warehouse stacker example is one of these machines. Pallets are loaded and unloaded into the stacker machine. A maximum of 30 pallets can be stored. The stacker will work as a FIFO (First In First Out) device. This means that the pallets are stored in a sequence and retrieved in a sequence.
The Click PLC will be used to program this virtual 3D stacker machine. Indirect addressing (pointers) will be used to track the positions on the stacker to store and retrieve the pallets. Using the Click Plus PLC, we will connect to the warehouse stacking machine. This will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) for communications. Using the five steps for program development we will show how this FIFO is programmed. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel to PLC and PLC to Panel Settings
We will now look at the C-More panel settings for communication to the PLC. The C-More EA9 HMI (Human Machine Interface) Series Panel will communicate to the PLC directly through the tag database that we discovered in our first program. We were able to read and write individual bits in the PLC.
Panel to PLC communications is used to write information into the PLC; like current screen number, displayed, good communications, pop-up keyboard, and current language number used in the HMI.
PLC to Panel communications is used by the PLC to control the HMI. Switch to screen
number, beep, increment and decrement the Clock by one hour, clear alarm history, clear
alarm count, start screen saver and select language are the items you can control in the
HMI.
PLC Error is used to communicate internally in the HMI the PLC error state and PLC error
code value. We will be setting up and testing our PLC to Panel and Panel to PLC
communications on our EA9 C-More. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

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.

Click PLC - EasyPLC PLC Mixer Programming
The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines that are used to show different programming techniques. The industrial mixer is one of these machines. When the start pushbutton is energized it will fill up a tank until the lower level sensor is detected. The mixer blades will then be turned on until the top sensor is detected. The tank is then drained past the low sensor and the process repeats for 3 cycle times. Once the sequence is complete, the tank is completely drained and ready to start again.
The Click PLC will be used to program this virtual 3D mixer machine. A DRUM instruction will be used in the PLC for the sequencing. Using the Click Plus PLC, we will connect to the mixing machine. This will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) for communications. Using the five steps for program development we will show how this is programmed. Let’s get started.

C-More EA9 HMI Series Panel System Setup Screens
We will now look at powering up our C-More EA9 HMI unit. Human-machine interfaces (HMI) like the C-More are made to display and control operations for our automation solution. Information is displayed in a graphics format. (Graphical User Interface – GUI) The HMI is usually part of the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system.
Communication from the HMI to the control is usually done through a serial (RS232 / RS485 / RS422) or Ethernet (RJ45) method with different protocols depending on the manufacturer of the control. The automation control device is not limited to a PLC. (Programmable Logic Controller) You can communicate also to drives, temperature process controllers, etc. The HMI usually will include several different protocols and port configurations to maximize the amount of control product that it will be able to communicate.
C-More Operator Panels come in 6”, 7” wide, 10”, 10” wide, 12” or 15” models. They are programmed using the EA9-PGMSW programming software through either the USB or Ethernet cable. A voltage supply of 12-24 VDC is required for the panel. The optional C-More AC Power Adapter EA-AC can also be used to supply this voltage.
We will be looking at one of the newest members of the C-More Panel HMI devices from Automation Direct. This is the EA9-T10CL. This ten-inch color TFT LCD screen offers great features that we will be exploring as we review this product. Let’s get started.

EasyPLC Paint Line Bit Shift - BRX Do More PLC
The Machine Simulator (MS) is part of the EasyPLC software suite. It has many built-in machines that are used to show different programming techniques. The paint line is one of these machines. It will use a bit shift (shift register) to track bottles along a conveyor belt. All the bottles will be detected using photocells and tracked along the conveyor. Larger (taller) bottles will be painted and then pushed into a box at different sections of the conveyor belt. A control panel will be used to start and stop the paint line and display the bottle count. The paint line machine simulator is an excellent way to learn how to program shift registers in the PLC.
The BRX Do-More PLC will be used to program this virtual paint line machine. Using the BRX Do-More PLC, we will connect to the paint line machine. This will be done using Modbus TCP (Ethernet) for communications. Using the five steps for program development we will show how this is programmed. Let’s get started.

C-More Micro HMI Object List Shapes
We will now look at shapes like lines, rectangles, circles, and frames that we can use on our C-More Micro HMI. The C-More Micro HMI Panel software uses virtual components called Objects. These objects are programmable to simulate the functions that you require on your automation project. Pushbuttons, Switches, meters, and graphs are just a few of the objects that are available to you.
We can place several of these objects on the one-panel screen and have multiple panel screens. This helps you produce simple, intuitive looking human-machine interfaces. We will be looking at our program we have so far developed (Simulate Project) and add shapes to our blank page. The navigation of the objects and additional information will also be discussed. Let’s get started.

C-More Micro HMI Simulate Project (Simulator)
The C-More Micro HMI Panel software has a simulator mode. This simulator will allow you to test your project before transferring it to a panel. Testing your application is a vital step in HMI program development. This feature of the software will save you time and money especially if your hardware is not available.
The simulator will display two windows. There is a graphical display of your HMI panel and a simulation control window. The control window will allow you to control variables in the project similar to a PLC.
We will be looking at our program developed last time (Common Control Menu) and use the simulator to mimic how the PLC and HMI Panel will communicate in the field. This will help to detect any problems before we transfer to our panel. Let’s get started.
More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.
