Horner Automation

SmartRail I/O Expansion for HMI Controllers

SmartRail I/O expands the input / output capacity of Horner OCS All-in-One controllers. SmartRail uses fieldbus technology and can be installed locally or hundreds of meters away. Highly expandable and scalable with several communication base options, SmartRail modular I/O allows for granular digital and analog input / output configurations to suit any specification without wasted space or hardware cost. Multiple SmartRail I/O Bases can be used – limited only by the performance requirements of the application. SmartRail Ethernet I/O is compatible with any OCS controller with built-in Ethernet.

local expansion I/O or remote I/O up to 500 meters away
expand to 8 modules per base and 16 bases per network
screw-type terminals, standard spring-clamp style optional
flexible fieldbus selection: CsCAN, Ethernet, CANopen, Profibus

New Product Announcement
Some modules in the SmartBlock I/O Series, from Horner Automation, are considered "mature" and will soon no longer be in production. We recommend considering the Horner OCS-I/O for new users and new applications in need of remote Input / Output.

SmartRail I/O Series from Horner Automation

SmartRail I/O expansion modules are an input / output system for Horner automation controllers offering a choice of Fieldbus networks (CsCAN, Ethernet, CANopen, and Profibus). It is a flexible input / output system that can be applied as a local expansion I/O or remote I/O distributed over hundreds of meters. The SmartRail, from Horner Automation, is a compact I/O system - supporting 128 input / output points in a footprint of only 3.5H x 8.75W (in).

flexible Fieldbus selection
- CsCAN, Ethernet, CANopen, and also Profibus
local I/O expansion or remote input / output up to 500m away
expand to 8 modules per base, as well as 16 bases per network
screw-type terminals, standard spring-clamp style optional

SmartRail is Easy to Configure

SmartRail gives you the benefit of Fieldbus I/O with much less complex configuration. This modular I/O is easily configured using Cscape programming software. Just select your I/O base - and then start adding I/O modules. Cscape even calculates I/O power usage for you automatically - so you’ll never overload an I/O base.

Common Uses of SmartRail I/O Expansion from Horner Automation

manufacturing, for example: custom OEM products, food processing, automotive parts
power management, back-up generation, as well as HVAC and environmental control
semiconductor applications
mobile and packaging machinery
water treatment
pump, motion, compressor, and distributed conveyor control

Switch to Horner OCS-I/O

Horner-OCS-I-O-Remote-Input-Output-for-Automation-Control

The Horner OCS-I/O is a flexible, highly expandable Input/Output system that can be applied as a local expansion I/O or as remote I/O distributed over hundreds of meters. With expandability up to 7 modules per base as well as 16 bases per network, OCS-I/O can handle almost every Input / Output need. Additionally, it includes a CsCAN In and CsCAN Out port, which allows users to easily daisy-chain multiple bases without requiring extraneous custom 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
