Description

AutomationDirect EA9-T8CL Touchscreen

Product Dimensions：

The EA9-T8CL is a high-performance 8-inch member of the C-more EA9 series of Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Known for its vibrant display and robust networking capabilities, it serves as a powerful bridge between operators and industrial control systems.

1. Technical Specifications

The EA9-T8CL is designed to handle demanding industrial environments while providing a crisp user interface.

2. Product Advantages

• High Connectivity: Supports over 50 protocols, including EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, and various drivers for Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron PLCs.

• Remote Access: Features a built-in web server and mobile app support (iOS/Android), allowing users to monitor and control the HMI from anywhere.

• Data Logging: Supports logging historical data, alarms, and events directly to an SD card or USB drive in CSV format.

• Easy Programming: Uses the C-more Programming Software, which features a drag-and-drop library of over 4,000 objects.

• Durability: NEMA 4/4X and IP65 rated (when mounted correctly), making it resistant to dust and high-pressure water washdowns.

3. Key Considerations & Precautions

• Power Supply: Always use a Class 2 power source. Ensure the voltage stays within the $12\text{–}24\text{ VDC}$ range to prevent internal damage.

• Screen Protection: Use a stylus or a finger; avoid sharp objects (screwdrivers, pens) that can puncture the resistive overlay.

• Chemical Exposure: While the front is IP65 rated, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents or thinning agents that can degrade the plastic bezel.

• Backup: Regularly back up your project and log files to an external SD card, as project memory is non-volatile but hardware failures can occur in extreme conditions.

4. Common Applications

• Manufacturing Lines: Monitoring real-time production metrics and adjusting machine parameters.

• Water/Wastewater Treatment: Visualizing tank levels, pump statuses, and flow rates using PID faceplates.

• Packaging Machinery: Managing high-speed counting, recipe selection, and error diagnostics.

• Food & Beverage: Ideal for washdown environments where stainless steel enclosures and waterproof interfaces are required.
