RCC Series PLC, Remote Compact Controller

RCC Modular PLC Automation Controllers

The Remote Compact Controller (RCC) Series are compact automation controllers ideal for applications where a screen-less controller is the best fit. The RCC Series, from Horner Automation, delivers powerful PLC functionality in an ultra-compact, cost-effective package that's ideal for distributed and space-constrained automation applications. Built on Horner’s proven control platform, our Remote Compact Controllers combine robust processing, integrated I/O, and advanced communications to provide reliable control at the edge of industrial automation systems.

Despite their small footprint, RCC controllers offer impressive capability, including high-speed logic execution, onboard digital and analog I/O options, and support for advanced control features such as PID, data logging, alarms, and networked control. Integrated Ethernet and serial communications allow seamless connectivity to HMIs, SCADA systems, remote I/O, and higher-level networks using widely adopted industrial protocols like Modbus TCP/RTU and CAN-based communications.

New Product Announcement

While some models of the Remote Compact Controller Series are still available for purchase, the RCC Series is "marked as mature" and will soon no longer be in production or supported. For new users of Horner Automation or new applications, we recommend the Micro CPU Series or the all-new Canvas CPU300.

Micro CPU Series

The Micro CPU Series packs Horner's same trusted performance for automation control into a small, streamlined package. The Micro CPU200 and Micro CPU250 PLCs can easily expand with up to 7 OCS-I/O modules locally. The Micro CPU Series provides the same reliable, powerful control capabilities as the well-established Micro OCS Series - just without a built-in display. Best of all, it easily mounts on a DIN-rail.

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.

Furthermore, 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. The CPU250 comes with up to 34 I/O points – a whopping 16 (8 in + 8 out) of which can configure as analog! 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.

Canvas CPU300 and HMI Connect Displays

For even more functionality, the new Canvas CPU300 is a great option. On its face, it looks like a traditional PLC with capabilities including local logic, expansion via OCS-I/O, and a full array of communications ports. However, the CPU300 includes logic, graphics, and programs using Cscape 10 in a single application file. The Horner CPU300 includes a suite of new connectivity 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.

The HMI Connect Series seamlessly integrates with Horner CPU300 controllers, require absolutely no setup or configuration, and they can mount wherever you want! Connecting via a single, robust cable, these HMIs really shine with unseen flexibility in automation control design. HMI Connect touchscreens are available in 4", 7", 10", and 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 feature a powerful multi-core SOM with performance on par with Horner’s Canvas Series of all-in-one controllers. The HMI Connect series delivers flexible, rugged operator interfaces that seamlessly extend Horner’s modular controller ecosystem.
