C-More Operator Interface Touch Panels

C-more is our next generation of operator interface touch panels. C-more is all new, including its circuits, touch screen displays, enclosures and all software and firmware. As a next generation product line, C-more has a host of hardware improvements and software enhancements, and offers better data transfer and increased productivity over our previous touch screen monitor products. C-more is designed and manufactured by our parent company, Koyo Electronics, part of the multi-billion dollar Seiko group.

C-more panels come in grayscale (15 shades of gray) or full color (256 to 64,536 colors). Cost-conscious STN grayscale & color displays are available in the 6-inch size. Color TFT touch screens are available in 6, 8, 10, 12 or 15-inch models. Two feature levels offer you more price choices.

With the C-more series, featuring STN and TFT touchscreen monitors, AutomationDirect now provides the best combination of reliability, ease of use, and features at the lowest possible prices. The C-more line of operator interface touch panels is one of the most powerful and easy to use in the industry. With C-more flat panel touch screens, you can virtually replace almost all mechanical pushbuttons, switches, meters, and other peripheral devices.

C-more is programmed with easy-to-use configuration software that provides a powerful set of tools for developing simple or very complex applications. The configuration software makes touchscreen panel setup and programming quick and simple, and all C-more touch panels use the same programming package.

NEW...LOWER PRICES on C-More Touch Panels!

C-more touch panel prices have been lowered an average of 12%, some units as much as 20%. C-more's ease of use and reliability can now benefit applications where previously only discrete devices or text panels fit the budget. C-more touch panel prices now start at $395 for a 6-inch STN greyscale unit.

Highlights

C-more touch panels include many important new features engineered into the product design to provide outstanding hardware and software such as:

Compatibility

A great feature of the C-more panels is their connectivity to many different PLC types. In addition to Direct LOGIC PLCs, you can connect to certain Allen-Bradley, GE, Mitsubishi, Omron, or Modicon PLCs (see list below).

C-More can also connect to multiple PLCs and different brands of PLCs simultaneously! C-more can act as an interpreter or "protocol bridge", passing PLC tag values back-and-forth between separate PLC protocols.
