Automation Direct EA3-T4CL 4.3″ Color Touchscreen

Product Dimensions：

The AutomationDirect EA3-T4CL is a high-performance Human Machine Interface (HMI) from the C-more Micro series. It is a 4-inch class widescreen color touch panel designed to provide a graphical interface for small-scale automation systems and machines.

Product Detailed Description

The EA3-T4CL is a compact, cost-effective HMI that features a TFT color display with 32,000 colors. Despite its small size, it provides high-resolution graphics and a resistive touchscreen. It is primarily used to replace traditional pushbuttons and pilot lights, offering a modern, programmable way to monitor and control PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers).

Technical Parameters

Product Advantages

• High-Resolution Graphics: The 480 x 272 pixel screen offers significantly better clarity and detail compared to older monochrome micro HMIs.
• Compact Design: Its slim profile allows it to fit into shallow control cabinets or directly onto small machinery panels.
• Flexible Software: Uses the free C-more Micro programming software, which includes a large library of objects (buttons, gauges, meters) and supports a wide range of PLC drivers.
• Ease of Use: Supports both landscape and portrait mounting orientations to suit specific machine layouts.
• Power Efficiency: Low power consumption (approx. 3.5W) makes it ideal for remote or battery-backed systems.

Important Considerations & Precautions

• Communication Cables: The RS-232 port uses a 6-pin RJ12 connector. Ensure you use the correct AutomationDirect cable (e.g., EA-2CBL) for your specific PLC to avoid communication errors or damage.
• USB Power: The Micro USB port is for programming only. The HMI must be connected to an external 12–24V DC power source to operate; it cannot be powered solely via the USB port.
• Environmental Limits: While it is NEMA 4/4X rated for the front panel, it is not intended for outdoor use or direct exposure to sunlight, which can degrade the LCD and touchscreen over time.
• Screen Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent. Harsh chemicals or abrasive materials can scratch the resistive touch layer.

Product Applications

• Packaging Machinery: Controlling conveyor speeds, bag sealers, and labeling equipment.
• Pumping Stations: Monitoring tank levels, pressure, and flow rates in small water treatment or irrigation systems.
• HVAC Control: Acting as a central thermostat and scheduler for commercial air handling units.
• Material Handling: Simple pick-and-place stations or palletizing machines where a small, localized interface is required.
• Custom OEM Projects: Providing a professional-looking interface for specialized scientific or industrial lab equipment.
