Provide Power to the C-more 6" Micro-Graphic Panel
1). The panel should be powered by a 1 Amp @ 12-24 VDC
class 2 power source in normal operation.
2). The C-more 6" Micro-Graphic panel is powered during
programming from the PC through the USB to RS-232
Programming Cable Assembly, EA-MG-PGM-CBL. When
powered from the PC, the panel will operate in Low-Power
mode.
3). Optionally, the C-more 6" Micro-Graphic panel can be
powered in Low-Power mode* from most AutomationDirect
PLC's RJ12 serial communications port by using a
DV-1000CBL communications cable, or a DV-1000CBL
