Fresh off our surprise announcement of TWO new IO-Link Masters for Horner OCS - it's time for a technical session to explore these products. How do they connect? How are the IO-Link Masters configured? How are IO-Link sensors configured? What Cscape programming is involved? We'll explore all these areas so you'll be ready to use
"Horner offers free, easy to use programming software. They provide cost effective options for hardware and the ability to integrate into older machines." ~ David Gonzalez, Beaverton Foods, Hillsboro, OR
Drum Sequencers (sometimes called Drum Instructions) are a great tool in a Control Engineer’s toolbox. They are instructions typically used to execute a simple sequence of events that are repeated over and over again in an application. These events are often time-based, but they can also be input based. In this session we’ll introduce the
If you have an application where you are measuring flow - one of your key control tasks may be to totalize that flow. Proper totalization requires more than just math - accurate analog and time measurement are critical. In this session we’ll illustrate effective techniques including utilizing the Horner OCS high-resolution time-base to ensure you
On this channel we’ve extolled the virtues of variable-based ladder logic programming with its User-Defined Function Blocks (UDFBs). In this hands-on session, we’ll start with an analog processing routine developed using register-based ladder logic and transform it into a variable-based UDFB. You’ll not want to miss this session where we demonstrate how to efficiently re-use
At Horner, we pride ourselves in being as customer friendly as possible. One example of this is the fact that we have not forced our customer base to abandon register-based programming, despite its limitations. In this session, will demonstrate how you can take your existing register-based applications and convert them to variable-based projects. This will
This week is our fourth and final installment in our series on Cscape IEC 6-1131 languages. Sequential Function Chart is another graphical language - this time patterned around a traditional flow chart. It can be extremely useful as you define the steps, transitions and actions of your applications. One of the great things about Sequential
In the next installment of our series on Cscape IEC 6-1131 languages - we focus on Function Block Diagram. Function Block Diagram is a graphical programming language which allows you to easily read and conceptualize your logic. It also allows you to represent several lines of code in a single block - and establish connections
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
