There are a variety of ways to interface Bar Code readers with automation systems - and these days Ethernet is the preferred approach. Join us as we get hands-on with the Horner OCS and the Datalogic MATRIX-320 Ethernet Bar Code Reader. We'll walk you step-by-step through the process of integrating this world class component from
One of the advantages of the New ETX250 is its ability to support multiple protocols. Not only can it be used with a Horner OCS as Remote I/O (covered on January 10) but it also can be used as Ethernet IP Remote I/O. With the industry shortage of Ethernet IP I/O availability – this is
SmartRail is a versatile Remote I/O option for Horner OCS - with popularity options including CsCAN and Ethernet. In this Hands-on session we’ll connect and demonstrate the NEW SmartRail I/O Ethernet Base with support for both Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP. Re-designed for 2022, this component provides an easy way to add Ethernet-based I/O to your
FTP File Transfers over Ethernet are still the most common means for accessing files electronically from an OCS All-in-one Controller. There are plenty of situations where scheduling a file transfer to/from an OCS at a particular time is advantageous. In this session, we’ll show how to make this happen. WATCH NOW...
Horner Automation has offered OCS All-in-one controller models supporting dual ethernet ports for A number of years. This is especially popular with OEMs who want their machine to have a dedicated ethernet network while they offer another dedicated ethernet connection for customers use. But in this era of supply chain challenges, especially for ethernet chipsets
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
In these challenging days - automation engineers sometimes need to “get creative” to solve supply chain issues. Are you struggling to source Ethernet IP I/O? In this session - we’ll show you how to utilize the XLEE and it’s surprisingly versatile I/O complement as a highly capable Ethernet IP I/O block. Join us for this
In large part due to Rockwell’s market position, Ethernet IP is ubiquitous in factories all over North America. If you are an OEM looking to separate your machines from the pack - yet fit in nicely with your customers’ installed base – Horner OCS can be a great option. The OCS offers a powerful, economical
Do you need to add Ethernet IP Scanner (master) capability to your OCS application? While the OCS supports Ethernet IP in a variety of ways – an Ethernet IP Scanner is not native. In this session – we’ll be joined by Realtime Automation as we jointly demonstrate the process of adding their Ethernet IP Scanner
