Step 7 – 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.) During operation, the panel functions in High-Power Mode when powered by a minimum 1 Amp
12 - 24 VDC power source. Recommended power supplies are AutomationDirect part number
PSP24-024S or PSP24-024C.
2.) The C-more 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.
3.) Optionally, the C-more 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.
Power Supplied to Panel through Cable from CLICK and Direct
Logic PLC RJ12 port:

NOTE: Recommended DC power supply to power the C-more Micro Graphic Panel, AutomationDirect Part No.
PSP24-024S or PSP24-024C.
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.
