Description
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Use the Powerful Horner “All-In-One” PLC/HMI Controller to help eliminate lab-time bottlenecks and time limitations. The use of the OCS with our Academic Program makes it easy and FREE for each student to have their own lab equipment and be able to meet their requirements for your automation educational program. They will have access to develop programmable ladder logic control, graphical Human Machine Interface, I/O connectivity (discrete and analog), and networking (Serial, CAN, and Ethernet) with our easy-to-use products. Including our FREE CsCAPE software. Our
Micro X5, X7A PLC/HMI, or CPU300 with HMI Connect kits are now available at no cost to the school and/or instructor, when used in the classroom or lab environment. The students have the option to purchase this same kit at 50% off and keep it for themselves. Tech schools and university programs have commented that the students have learned more with this tool, as they have more time to spend in a lab environment.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Our engineers at Horner Automation have designed a slim, versatile, and complimentary product to our existing line of robust industrial solutions. When utilized as an introductory piece, these Academic Program Kits can empower your organization to grow, by seamlessly incorporating additional Horner solutions to your expanding system.
Testimonials
“I enjoy the modular I/O cards, the HMI and the CSCAPE software. The I/O cards are easily added or removed from the panel allowing ease of use. One thing I did encounter with setting up the DIQ616 I/O card is, inside CSCAPE when you auto populate the local I/O, the dim value does not change to 10 and requires a manual correction. On the other hand, the HMI seems to be very good quality. So far it has performed very well and I have not had any issues with it. The CSCAPE software is the first ladder logic software I have used. The manual has been very helpful getting started with programming PLCs. Although some places like the logic block chapter could go into a little more detail about how to set up certain functions mainly due to the fact of me not having any prior PLC programming knowledge. The speed of all components is exceptional. Overall, I am very appreciative of the Horner Automation Academic Kit and believe it is a great resource for us students in the Automation and Technology program here at ATU Ozark Campus to have access to as we learn of the world of automation and specifically the world of PLCs.”

“The Best features of the Horner PLC are definitely the touch screen HMI and cscape. Being able to customize your HMI through cscape allows for a lot of creativity for students, and it’s also very easy to customize. I also find the programming on cscape very easy to maneuver and use since it’s just plugging in your counters, contacts, and coils.
I think the Horner PLC we were provided was very helpful in understanding PLCs, from building the panel itself to programming our own programs. It was very engaging. While it may have been challenging to write the programs with no experience, it was a fun learning experience”

“The Horner academic kits that I got to use were very fun to use. With those kits I made my very first PLC, having no prior knowledge to how a PLC worked. The instructions made it very easy to follow and I didn’t feel like I was lagging behind at all when it came to putting them together. I liked being able to change things on the HMI with different programs, and I also liked seeing the circuit board and how everything is put together and learning what each component does.
