Providing Power to the C-more 6” Micro-Graphic Panel
Power can be supplied to the C-more Micro-Graphic panel in one of three different ways.
1.) The C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panel is powered during programming from the PC through the
USB to RS-232 Programming Cable Assembly, EA-MG-PGM-CBL. The panel will operate in
Low-Power mode when powered by the PC and result in a dim screen.
2.) During operation, the 6” panel functions in High-Power Mode when supplied powered by a
minimum 1 Amp 12 - 24 VDC power source. Recommended power supplies are AutomationDirect
part number PSP24-024S or PSP24-024C.
3) During operation, the C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panel can function in Low-Power Mode powered
from most AutomationDirect PLC’s RJ12 serial communications port. Use a DV-1000CBL
communications cable, or a DV-1000CBL communications cable with a FA-15HD 15-pin HD
DSub/RJ12 Adapter connected to most AutomationDirect PLC’s 15-pin HD communications port
(DL06, D2-250-1 & D2-260) PLCs for Low-Power operation. See Chapter 6: PLC
Communications for additional details. The panel will operate in low-power mode when powered
by the PC.
Wiring Guidelines continued at top of the next page.
NOTE: When the 6” panel is powered through Port1 from a connected PLC or PC, the screen brightness is
diminished because the panel is running in Low-Power Mode. For full brightness, connect an external
12-24 VDC power source to the panel’s power connection. Low-Power Mode is intended for initial
programming. For full brightness, connect an external 12-24 VDC power source when the panel is installed
in its application.
