Make sure the operating environment is free of corrosive vapors and gasses. CORROSIVE Check Operating Voltage Check the input voltage that is powering the C-more Micro-Graphic panel to make sure it is within the appropriate range. 24 VDC: The acceptable voltage range to the panel is 10.2-26.4 VDC (6.5W @ 10.2 VDC (630mA)).
During a routine maintenance check is a good time to take a quick look at the status indicators on the back of the C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panel. There should be activity on both the TxD and RxD LED indicators when connected serially to a PLC or control device and data is being updated on the screen.
Chapter 7: Maintenance Run Tests under the System Setup Screens Use the C-more Micro-Graphic panel’s System Setup Screens to test communication port, PLC connectivity, the internal beeper and touch screen operation. See Chapter 5: System Setup Screens for additional details.
Chapter 7: Maintenance Check Settings under the System Setup Screens Use the C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panel’s System Setup Screens to check the various settings such as the beep and orientation. See Chapter 5: System Setup Screens for additional details. Beep - Used to enable or disable the internal audible beeper. the default is beep on.
As a starting point, you may want to run through all the screens to make sure they are accessible. If there are any trouble-shooting procedures programmed into the C-more 6” Micro-Graphic panel application, now is a good time to also check these aids.
Troubleshooting The following are some problems that may be encountered during the installation and operation of your C-more ® Micro-Graphic panel. We have made some suggestions on what to check in order to correct the problem. C-more 6” Micro-Graphic Panel does not Power up 1.
1. If the panel is displaying the message "No User Program" after it is powered up, then there is no project downloaded into the panel. 2. Using the EA-MG-PGMSW C-more Micro-Graphic Programming Software, download your project to the panel. SETUP MENU...
If a version needs to be updated, for example, to take advantage of new functionality or product line additions follow these steps: 1.) Create a backup copy of the project on the PC. From the C-more Micro-Graphic programming software, read the project from the panel and save to a desired location.
Chapter 8: Troubleshooting No Communications between Panel and PC (Personal Computer) There are three possible causes that prevent transferring the project to the C-more Micro- Graphic panel. 1. Panel not on setup screen (press F1 and F5) - Press and hold the F1 and F5 buttons simultaneously for three seconds to enter the setup screen.

USB programming cable connects the panel to the PLC, the port will be identified as a serial communications port with an assigned COM port number. 3. Not using the correct COM port assigned to the USB connection - If the C-more Micro-Graphic panel is on the setup screen and the cable connection is correct, then check the PC COM port setting.
If there is no activity on one or both TxD and RxD LED status indicators, then it should be suspected that either: 1. The communication settings are incorrect - Open Panel Manager in the C-more Micro-Graphic programming software and verify that the correct panel Comm. Port is selected. Verify that the correct PLC protocol is selected and properly configured.
P499. If a C-more Micro-Graphic communication error does occur, the error message will be displayed in the upper left of the panel’s display screen along with the error code number. The error code with error message will blink off and on.
4. If the error still occurs, reset the panel back to factory default. Refer to Chapter 5 for details NOTE: User memory is cleared when factory defaults are reset. Use the C-more Micro-Graphic programming software to read the program from the panel and save a backup copy.
• Hourglass icon delay of 350 ms. • Horizontal orientation NOTE: User memory is cleared when factory defaults are reset. Use the C-more Micro-Graphic programming software to read the program from the panel iand save a backup copy. Electrical Noise Problems Most noise problems result from improper grounding of the system.
