 Chapter 6: PLC Communications

Introduction
1 The C-more® Micro-Graphic panels are capable of communicating with AutomationDirect
Productivity Series, Do-more, CLICK, SOLO, GS Drives and the entire DirectLOGIC
2 family of PLCs. The panel is capable of communicating using RS232, RS422 and RS485
serial communications and networks. When using the built in RJ12 serial port, designated as
Port 1, on the C-more Micro-Graphic panel to connect with AutomationDirect controllers,
3 your cabling choices are fairly simple.
• DV-1000CBL – connects to Productivity Series, Do-more, CLICK, DL05, DL06, DL105, DL205,
4 D3-350 and D4-450 phone jack.
• D4-1000CBL – connects to all DL405 CPU 15-pin ports.

5 The panel also has the ability to communicate with Allen-Bradley PLCs that support the Allen-
Bradley DF1 and DH485 protocols. Use of the Serial Port with DC Power Adapter module,
EA-MG-SP1, along with the following cables will allow connecting the panel to a majority of
6 Allen-Bradley PLCs.
• EA-MLOGIX-CBL – connects to AB MicroLogix 1000, 1100, 1200, 1400 & 1500
7 • EA-SLC-232-CBL – connects to AB SLC 5/03, /04, /05, ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix
• EA-PLC5-232-CBL – connects to AB PLC5
8 • EA-DH485-CBL – connects to AB MicroLogix, SLC500, and any PLC using AB AIC device
The PLC Compatibility and Connection Chart tables on the following pages list the various
9 PLCs and protocols that can be configured. Other third party PLCs include GE, Mitsubishi,
Omron, Modicon and Siemens. The rest of this chapter is devoted to show the pin to pin
connections of available cables plus wiring diagrams that the user can refer to in order to
10 construct their own cables, along with wiring diagrams of cables that are not available for
purchase.
11 Note: A maximum cable length of 10 feet between the Micro-Graphic panel and the PLC is recommended
when powering the panel from the PLC.
12 The Serial Port with DC Power Adapter module, EA-MG-SP1, can be used if the application
13 requires the use of RS-422 or RS-485. The serial port on the adapter, designated as Port 2, can
also be wired for RS-232. The use of the adapter permits greater cable lengths. The panel can
also be connected to more than one PLC by using RS-422 or RS-485 wired in a multi-drop
14 configuration. See the example wiring diagrams at the end of this chapter for details.

NOTE: The panel has one built-in RJ12 serial communications port (Port 1 - RS-232) and the option to add
one 15-pin serial communications port (Port 2 - RS-232/422/485) to the panel by installing the EA-MG-SP1
C module. Only one of the ports can be used with a connected PLC. The programming software allows the
user to select either Comm. Port1 or Comm. Port2 under the Panel Manager dialog box. When using Port
D 2 to communicate with the connected PLC, Port 1 can still be used with the EA-MG-PGM-CBL Software
Programming Cable Assembly to transfer projects between the PC and panel.

DirectLOGIC PLCs Password Protection

NOTE: DirectLOGIC PLCs support multi-level password protection of the ladder program. This allows 1
password protection while not locking the communication port to an operator interface. The multilevel
password can be invoked by creating a password with an upper case “A” followed by seven numeric
characters (e.g. A1234567). Please refer to the specific PLC user manual for further details.

PLC Compatibility and Connection Charts
The following charts list the possible connections available between C-more 3” Micro- 4
Graphic panels and a variety of PLCs. The charts list which PLC ports can communicate and
provide power to the C-more Micro-Graphic panel through built-in port 1 (RS-232). Also
shown is communication through port 1 (RS-232) when utilizing the optional DC Power
5
Adapter EA-MG-P1. Communications using the optional Serial Port with DC Power Adapter
(EA-MG-SP1) through port 1 or port 2 is illustrated as well. 6
The chart includes the various PLC protocols that can be used with each combination of PLC
port and panel port. 7
The chart lists the recommended cables and/or manufactured devices that can be used to make
up the communications link, and also refers to wiring diagrams that can be used to construct 8
cables for connecting the PLC’s port to the panel’s port.
Following the charts is a list of cables that can be purchased, including their wiring diagrams, 9
and also wiring diagrams that are referenced from the charts that can be used to construct the
referenced cables.The constructed cables are referred to as Diagram 1 through 13 and start on
page 6-32.

AutomationDirect Controllers 11
AutomationDirect Productivity Series, CLICK, Do-more, DirectLogic, SOLO
Temperature Controller and GS Drives 12
Drivers specific to these AutomationDirect control devices make it convenient to communicate
with the C-more Micro-Graphic panels and simplify configuring objects with controller 13
addresses.

RS-422A/RS-485A Communications
14
When using the RS-422A/RS-485A communications capabilities of the C-more Micro-Graphic
Serial Port (Port 2), the termination resistor is placed between the RXD– and RXD+ terminals A
on the PLC side of the connection between the touch panel and PLC. The Termination
Resistor value is based on the characteristic impedance of the cable being used. To enable the B
built-in 120 Ohm Termination Resistor, jumper pin 13 (termination resistor) to pin 9 (RXD+)
on the C-more Micro-Graphic 15-pin PLC communications port.

Allen-Bradley:
As stated in this chapter’s introduction, the panel also has the ability to communicate with
1 Allen-Bradley PLCs that support the Allen-Bradley DF1 and DH485 protocols. Use of the
Serial Port with DC Power Adapter module, EA-MG-SP1, is required. The chart for the
2 various Allen-Bradley PLCs includes recommended cables.

GE, Mitsubishi, Omron, Modicon and Siemens:

3 Other 3rd party PLCs can be used with the C-more Micro-Graphic panel with the use of the
Serial Port with DC Power Adapter module, EA-MG-SP1. These PLCs are listed in a chart and

How to use the PLC Compatibility and Connection Charts

1.) Find the PLC Family being used.
2.) Find the particular PLC model in the PLC family. 1
3.) Find the PLC communications port you will be connecting to the C-more Micro-Graphic
panel. 2
4.) Read across the chart to determine if the C-more Micro-Graphic panel’s Port 1 can be used,
or if an optional EA-MG-P1 DC Power Adapter or EA-MG-SP1 Serial Port w/ DC Power 3
Adapter is required, and then determine the cable and other components, manufactured or
user constructed, are required. 4

Available Purchased Cables – Wiring Diagrams

1 The following series of wiring diagrams show the connectors and wiring details for the
communication cables that are used between the C-more Micro-Graphic panels and various
2 PLCs. Part numbers are included with the pre-made cables that can be purchased from
AutomationDirect. The information presented will allow the user to construct their own cables
if so desired.
