Automation Direct EA9-T7CL-R Servo Drive Module

The Automation Direct EA9-T7CL-R is a 7-inch color touchscreen HMI in the C-MORE EA9 family, delivering an 800x480 WVGA display with a resistive single-touch panel for straightforward operator interaction, monitoring, and visualization of automated processes. It provides built-in communication options suitable for industrial control, including one serial port, one Ethernet port, two USB ports, and a memory card slot for project transfer, data logging, and on-site configuration, enabling field updates and offline backups. The EA9-T7CL-R includes runtime recipe editing capabilities for operator-level modifications, allowing parameter tweaks without opening the project in an editor, and is designed for wall- or panel-mounted installations in demanding environments. Although this model has been retired by AutomationDirect and was discontinued around November 2025, it was widely used for human-machine interfaces in manufacturing lines, packaging, and process automation, offering a compact 7-inch form factor that fits tight control panels while providing familiar C-MORE software workflows.
