C-More Micro HMI First Program Part 2

Previously we put our first program (Video) into the C-More Micro HMI Panel using the C-More Micro programming software. The Do-More Designer Simulator was used with a modified Start Stop Jog Circuit so we can use our HMI screen to control the output as well as the inputs on the PLC. This communication was done via Ethernet with the Modbus TCP protocol. We will now look at PLC to Panel and Panel to PLC communications. This will allow us to control the screen page number, beeper, and backlight of the panel from the PLC. We will also get notifications of the same as well as key press information from the HMI panel. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/c-more-micro-hmi-first-program-part-2 00:00 C-More Micro First Program Part 2 00:55 Panel to PLC / PLC to Panel Communication 02:45 C-More Setup Panel to/from PLC 07:33 C-More Project Transfer and Testing 08:00 Do-More Monitor Data 09:45 C-More Change Page from PLC 10:42 C-More Beep Control 11:03 C-More Background Color Previously we have discussed the following in our C-More Micro HMI Panel: System Hardware http://accautomation.ca/c-more-micro-hmi-system-hardware Unboxing and Review Video https://youtu.be/_uCcALMqYlM Installing the Software http://accautomation.ca/c-more-micro-hmi-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/BIGrOvxlDTI - Update Automation Direct Software C More Micro Software Video https://youtu.be/MNjTpirZs1s System Setup Screens http://accautomation.ca/c-more-micro-hmi-system-setup-screens System Setup Screens Video https://youtu.be/KolqJkKKhaA First Program http://accautomation.ca/c-more-micro-hmi-first-program First Program Video https://youtu.be/FsUe-b3JSns There are several reasons that we are using the EA3-T4CL C-More Micro Panel.
