Connectivity
Single Connection Saves Time and Money
There is a single user connection on the C-more Micro panels. This RJ12 modular connector is a serial port which can also supply 5VDC power to the unit.
It's used for programming, PLC communication, and power.
No power adapter Required
When using most AutomationDirect (Koyo) PLCs with a 6 pin Modular RJ12 type connector - no additional power adapter is required - saving you time and money. Some other protocols are also supported.
DC power adapters are also available.

Programming Connection
$Call
Part # EA-MG-PGM-CBL
The USB to RS-232 programming cable assembly and adapter is used to program the C-more Micro unit via the same RJ12 modular connection and also supplies 5VDC power to the C-more Micro panel during the programming process.
If the optional C-more Micro power adapter and Serial Port module (part number EA-MG-SP1) is attached, a standard serial cable (DB-15 or RJ12) can be used for programming as long as 12-24 VDC power is supplied to the module. This also allows a programming cable and a PLC cable to be connected simultaneously.

Other Options for Powering & Connecting to C-more Micro
When connecting C-more Micro 3" units to other brands of PLCs, a 12-24VDC power adapter must be installed. Two versions are available
•  The EA-MG-P1 allows C-more Micro 3" to be powered from a separate 12-24VDC power source (more)
•  The EA-MG-SP1 also allows the use of 12-24VDC power and offers a second serial port (DB-15 style) for 3" units (more)
Neither of these option modules is needed (nor can they be used) with C-more Micro 6". The 6" units already offer externally powered operation, and they have a second (DB-15 style) serial port built-in.
