ADC_HMI_PE (AutomationDirect) asked a question.
In support of the release of the C-more CM5 Series HMI Panels, AutomationDirect announces a new free programming software that supports this latest addition to the C-more HMI family.
No need to worry about your existing EA9 series projects; because projects saved in version 6.73 or later can be easily converted to the new CM5 platform simply by opening and saving the project with just a few clicks of the mouse.
This new hardware series provides many options with a variety of screen sizes and communication capabilities. The CM5 series offers our largest HMI option with an impressive 22-inch screen at a cost our competitors can’t beat! If that’s too much HMI, the CM5 series also offers several other sizes down to the very compact 4 inch for those small systems where space is a premium, but features are a must.
v8.0 and later only support the new CM5 hardware series.
New Features supported in CM5 and v8.00.
1) MQTTS Publisher/Subscriber
2) C-more panel as a SNTP Timer Server
3) C-more panel Clock Synchronization with external SNTP Time Server
4) Data Maintenance Tool for connected panel file maintenance.
C-more CM5 Series v 8.00 Software Release for CM5 Series HMI Panels
Does the software version for the CM5 panels have any improvements over 6.75?
It has a ribbon style interface, if you are young enough to consider that an improvement.
