C-More EA9 HMI Series to Solo Process Temperature Controller

The cmore EA9 HMI can connect to the Solo process temperature controller using the built-in RS485 serial communication port. This will connect up to 32 solo units to the HMI for display and control.
We will be setting up our headless RHMI cmore EA9 to communicate to the Solo process temperature controller. Using the information we discussed previously, we will set up data logging, file transfer protocol (FTP), bitmaps, etc.
We will also set up an object library of the Solo 4896. This will consist of a bitmap, numeric display, numeric edit, indication lights, and up and down increment. The system will then be controlled using the remote applications discussed last time. Let's get started.

More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video.

There are several reasons that we are using the EA9-T10CL C-More HMI Panel. Here are a few:
• Touch screen display (LCD) 280 NITS display brightness
• 10.4" diagonal color TFT (Thin Film Transistor)
• Analog resistive (1024 X 1024) touch screen allowing unlimited touch areas
• EA9-PGMSW programming software
• 800 x 600-pixel display
• 64K colors
• 50,000-hour average backlight half-life
• USB port B (program/download) and USB port A (USB device options)
• Ethernet 10/100 Base-T port (program/download & PLC communication
• Remote Internet Access
• Serial PLC interface (RS-232/422/485)
• One built-in SD memory card slot
• 12–24 VDC powered (18W), 110VAC power adapter (optional)
• Audio Line Out, stereo - requires amplifier and speaker(s)
• 26MB project memory
• Data logging
• 0 to 50°C [32 to 122°F] operating temperature range
• NEMA 4/4X, IP65 compliant when mounted correctly, indoor use only
• Slim design saves panel space
• UL, cUL & CE agency approvals
• 2-year warranty from date of purchase

Nice!

Ive done layered bit maps is a few projects. But didn’t know about the grouping or the saving group as a single object. Thats going to be very helpful.

Is there a way to do something similar using a C-more Micro? I’m currently using IO mapping from a 5069 compactlogix processor, and would like to use one of the N7 SINT values that I’m writing to the HMI to then set a set point on the SOLO temperature controller over RS485. Is that possible?
