The XL Series of Operator Control Stations (OCS) offer robust, reliable control that combine a traditional controller with an operator interface, built-in I/O, networking and removable mass data storage into an integrated, all-in-one unit. The XL series integrated industrial controls are cost-effective, provide significantly more functionality than a PLC and operator interface and are programmed
Our Micro OCS line of products introduces a series of fixed I/O controllers, with exceptional performance and a streamlined ordering and pricing structure. These powerful and efficient controllers are well-suited to perform many of the same high-end applications as our popular XL Series, but at the price point of an introductory component. We have all
This week we take a look at Structured Text in Cscape. While not as popular or prolific as Ladder Logic, Structured Text is uniquely powerful - and features a more "computer language" look and feel. If you have a computer science background - it can quickly help you get comfortable as you program in a
At least 30 years after its predicted demise – Ladder Logic is here to stay. And Horner Automation continues to provide options to automation programmers who choose to program their control systems using this traditional language. In this session we’re going to help customers get started using the Ladder Logic editor in the IEC 6-1131
There are a variety of ways to exchange data between the Horner OCS All-in-one Controllers and Rockwell Logix CPUs. In this Live Session – we’ll go hands-on to demonstrate step-by-step how to read and write tags from a Rockwell CompactLogix CPU to a Horner OCS. WATCH NOW...
PID Tuning is a task that can induce beads of sweat from some control engineers and confident shrugs from others. How is PID tuning handled in the Horner OCS? What tools are available during the process? What about Auto Tuning? Join us for this Live Session as we take a strictly Hands-on approach to this
What are the differences between Ethernet IP & Modbus TCP? How are they similar? What is Ethernet Global Data – and what can it be used for? Join us as we explore two of the most popular Industrial Ethernet protocols – and a third that deserves to be more popular than it is. Join us
Communications is one of the strengths of the Horner OCS. Another strength is distributed control – where a complex control task can be modularized to provide efficiency and scalability in the application by utilizing multiple OCS controllers. But what communications architecture and which communications protocol(s) should you use? In this session we’ll dive into the
The Horner OCS All-in-one Controller can be an excellent choice for Indexing applications. Lately there has been an explosion of stepper motor models with built-in drives from a host of different manufacturers. Some of these feature a network interface, and others a more traditional Step and Direction approach. In this session – we’ll demonstrate Cscape
Automation programmers have discovered that User Defined Function Blocks (UDFB’s) are the power feature in Variable-based (Tag-based) Logic Languages. In this week’s session - we will help Cscape programmers get fully up to speed as they create proven, modular code they can use over and over again. To view the Cscape demo used in this
