Micro CPU Series PLC Automation Controllers
The Micro CPU Series packs Horner Automation's trusted performance for automation control into a small, streamlined package. The Micro CPU200 and Micro CPU250 provide the same reliable, powerful control capabilities as the rest of the well-established Micro OCS Series - just without a built-in display. Best of all, it easily mounts on a DIN-rail. Furthermore, the Micro CPU Series of PLC automation controllers can easily expand with up to 7 Horner OCS-I/O modules locally and beyond with additional OCS-I/O bases.
With the Micro CPU200 and Micro CPU250, operators can easily connect and manage equipment. The Micro CPU Series features a USB-C programming port and support for serial, Ethernet, and CAN communications as a standard, as well as support for WebMI for use as a remote interface. The Micro CPU250 offers all the same amazing features as the CPU200, but it also includes built-in I/O for an even more streamlined solution. Our Micro CPU modular automation controllers bring powerful control and flexible and expandable input and output options together in one easy-to-install device, perfect for a wide range of industrial applications. With Modbus capabilities, the possibilities with the Micro CPU Series are endless!
Horner Micro CPU200 PLC
The Micro CPU200 bundles the same features and specifications as the Micro CPU250, but without the built-in I/O points. Its robust design, intuitive programming environment, and scalable architecture make the Micro CPU200 the perfect choice for OEMs, system integrators, and industrial engineers looking to maximize productivity and minimize downtime. And remote I/O can always be added at a later time via Horner OCS-I/O modules!
Horner Micro CPU250 with Built-in I/O
The Micro CPU250 provides dependable performance in tough environments, operating smoothly even in extreme temperatures. Whether building new machines or upgrading existing systems, the Micro CPU250 PLC delivers the reliability and flexibility necessary to keep operations running efficiently - all in a space-saving design.
The CPU250 comes with a great amount of onboard I/O. Up to 34 I/O points – a whopping 16 (8 in + 8 out) of which can configure as analog! The Micro CPU250 modular automation controller brings powerful control and flexible and expandable input and output options together in one easy-to-install device, perfect for a wide range of industrial applications.
Horner OCS-I/O – Remote Input / Output
The Horner Micro CPU Series features a dedicated Horner OCS-I/O port that can be used in conjunction with another rack of OCS-I/O modules (1 base + up to 7 modules) that can also be treated as local, synchronous I/O. This dedicated port provides 24V power to the remote I/O base to provide a very simplified connection to all of your modular automation controller hardware and reduce the number of terminal connections necessary in the panel wiring.
- local expansion I/O or remote I/O up to 500 meters away
- expandable with up to 7 modules per base and 16 bases per network
- screw-type terminals standard; spring-clamp style optional
- nine I/O modules to choose from, all with different I/O capabilities
- compact design to allow easy installation into existing control systems
- configures with easy-to-use, free Cscape programming software
Still Need More? Check Out the Canvas CPU300 and Horner HMI Connect Series

Operators can also upgrade to the Canvas CPU300 PLC for more features including: USB-C, dual Ethernet ports with support for a built-in switch, and a new display connection for remote displays in Horner's HMI Connect Series. HMI Connect touchscreens are available in 4 to 15" Resistive Touch displays (IP65 rated), as well as 7" and 10" Advanced LCD with PCAP (capacitive) Touchscreen (IP67 rated) for outdoor applications. These HMI Displays seamless integrate with Horner CPU300 controllers and require absolutely no setup or configuration. Pairing a Horner CPU300 with an HMI Connect Display really shines with the unseen flexibility of fully modular automation controller design. The performance of its powerful multi-core SOM is on par with Horner’s Canvas Series of controllers.
