Where Can I find Horner’s Top 10 Resource Videos?

If you’re looking for educational video resources, look no further than the extensive video listing on Horner Automation’s YouTube channel.

Top 10 List:

• 1 – BACnet IP Communications (53:09)

• We will introduce BACnet protocol – the highly popular Building Automation Control network. BACnet has both Token Passing (BACnet MS/TP) and Ethernet (BACnet IP) variations – and we will describe how to interface OCS All-in-one Controllers with both networks.

• 2 – Ethernet IP Communications (53:24)

• We will review the application of Ethernet IP Protocol – and the variety of ways that Horner OCS All-in-one Controllers can interface to that network. We’ll also review how the OCS can exchange Global Tag data with Logix processors from Rockwell.

• 3 – How to: Modbus RTU & Modbus TCP (46:19)

• Modbus is by far the most popular protocol for Host-to-Controller communications. We’ll provide all the details for using OCS Controllers as a source of Modbus data for applications involving RS-485, Radio, and Ethernet.

• 5 – Cscape Setup (01:30)

Step by Step process of setting up your OCS with Cscape:

• When first opening Cscape, select File > New. This will open all of the menus.
• Next select Tools Application Settings.
• Uncheck Use classic Cscape Mode and uncheck use classic toolbars for logic element selection. You may also want to enable IEC Editor mode. Pressing OK will cause your current program to close.
• Open a new program, in our case, advanced ladder. You will see that the project navigator is available. This will allow for easy access to different parts of your program, such as the main logic module and subroutines.
• Back under tools there is the Project Toolbox which houses all of your function blocks. Pressing the push pin will dock these menus to the left, giving you more room to program.
• Return to Tools and select Editor Options. This will allow for more customization in your program. You can set your compiler errors and warnings.
• Be sure to check Allow or around functions.
• There are also tabs to the left that have more options, such as changing the background color.
• You may also want to add toolbars, by going to View > Toolbars and selecting items such as standard tools, unit communications, and status bar. They can also be docked above your ladder logic.

• 6 – Horner Automation │ Canvas Series (00:58)

• The NEW Canvas Series of all-in-one controllers brings the Cscape 10 Advanced Graphics Engine to the factory floor along with a powerful logic engine. All Canvas models include a dual-core microprocessor – with separate cores dedicated to logic and user interface execution.

• 7 – Horner Automation │ XL Prime Series (00:40)

• The NEW XL Prime Series builds upon that proven reputation – offering new and existing users alike performance upgrades and a highly secure, modern memory architecture. This is accomplished with a new Horner designed System on Module (SOM) – containing a faster CPU, onboard mass storage and 100% non-volatile memory. The only battery is a small coin cell – simply tasked with maintaining the clock.

• 8 – CANopen Networking: How it Works (44:52)

• CANopen is a CAN-based Fieldbus which allows you to integrate equipment from third party manufacturers with the Horner OCS All-in-one Controllers. In this session we’ll introduce CANopen architecture, review nomenclature, and illustrate how you can use CANopen with the Horner OCS to its full advantage.

• 9 – Tech Tips – Basic Cscape Rung Creation (06:04)

• In this tutorial, we’re going to cover basic ladder logic editing in Cscape. To get started, we’re going to create a new file. This example will use advanced ladder logic. Cscape also supports the IEC 61131 languages, but we’re not going to cover those here.

• 10 – Tech Tips – How to Connect Cscape (04:40)

• In this tutorial, we’re going to cover basic ladder logic editing in Cscape. To get started, we’re going to create a new file. This example will use advanced ladder logic. Cscape also supports the IEC 61131 languages, but we’re not going to cover those here.
