Level 2 C-more panels can be programmed via the built-in Ethernet port (Level 1 panels don't have Ethernet). Use a crossover cable to connect directly from a PC to the C-more panel, or connect C-more to your plant network (via hubs, switches, and routers) with a "straight-through" CAT5 cable. With C-more on the plant network, you can download projects from any connected PC. Use the network connection to upload alarm history, PLC log data, or even request screen captures from a C-more panel. C-more can even send e-mail, based on events or PLC alarm conditions - if connected to a network and an SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) server.
