In many motion control applications, a Horner OCS and a SmartMotor provide an unbeatable combination – especially in those applications where space is at a premium. For the OCS connection to the SmartMotor – there are a variety of options including old school step & direction and Modbus TCP. But this week we’ll make the
It's been a few months now since Horner released the XL Prime series - targeted not only at new customers but also existing customers. As a Horner OCS user - should you upgrade? What are the factors you should consider? Performance? Environment? Availability? Approvals? We'll examine each of these factors to help you make an
Data Find functions blocks aren’t included with Cscape Advanced Ladder – but we’ve taken care of that limitation with a new set of User Defined Function Blocks! Do you need to find a specific value in a data list? Do you need to find the Minimum, Maximum, or Average values in a data list? Join
On this channel we’ve previously shown how to use multiple OCS touchscreens in applications requiring dual HMI functionality. But what about using multiple OCS controllers for increased availability? How can you design, configure and program your system to allow a secondary OCS to act as a “warm backup” if the primary OCS becomes unavailable? All
For years, customers have trusted the Horner OCS All-in-one Controller in outdoor applications. Outdoor applications are tough - often with extreme temperatures, high humidity, rain, ice and snow to deal with. But what about the effects of the sun? The sun impacts temperature, generates harsh UV, diminishes screen view ability and increases glare. If you
Thermocouples and RTDs are everywhere in Industrial applications for monitoring and controlling temperature. But in Building Automation, HVAC and similar environmental applications - thermistors are king. Thermistors are low cost, easy to wire - with “good enough” temperature range and accuracy in their preferred applications. Join us as we review how thermistors work, where they
“I built a keg washer for my brewery, it works great and it was fun to build. I used the Horner Micro OCS X4 – the touch screen provides the capability to run the system manually, in automatic mode or to change parameters. The inputs measure water temperature and tank levels and the outputs control
In our third OCS-I/O Livestream of the month - we’ll take a look at Configuration in Cscape. Once you’ve documented your requirements, selected your modules, laid out and installed your system - configuration is next. Join us as we demonstrate the available options for configuring this versatile new I/O family. WATCH NOW...
The OCS-I/O analog options are impressive - but in this session we’ll focus on the available digital modules - typically making up the bulk of I/O points in a system. Do you need DC Inputs? AC? What about solid-state outputs? Relays? Join us as we examine the available options and not only review specifications but
The OCS-I/O is an exciting new Remote I/O family - with an impressive all-new design. One of the more impressive I/O modules available for OCS-I/O is the ADU100 - Universal Analog Input Module. Join us as we take a deep dive into this versatile module which supports a multitude of sensor types (including RTD &
