EXL6 PLC Controller from Horner Automation

With fully integrated hardware and software, the EXL6 PLC controller offers easy programming, installation, development, as well as easy set-up. Furthermore, its small footprint allows these automation controllers to easily retrofit into an existing system with little effort. Many variations of distributed remote I/O, for example, SmartBlock and SmartStix, can connect via CsCAN, Ethernet, or Modbus. RTU/Modbus based SmartMod I/O is also a cost-effective means of adding a small amount of analog I/O.

The EXL6 automation controller is the first industrial product to utilize microSD Data Storage Memory, which is ideal for data logging, machine recipes, and application files.

  • 640×480 LCD TFT color graphics display with a high resolution resistive touchscreen
  • 4 function keys in addition to a system key
  • also available with a USB 2.0 on-the-go port (mini-B 5pin) for programming
  • USB 2.0 host port (A) is available for exchanging files with USB FLASH drives
  • two (2) RS-232 and one (1) RS-485 port support RTU/Modbus Commander / Responder (Master / Slave), ASCII In/Out, as well as PLC / Drive downloadable protocols
