X2 Automation Controller, HMI / PLC

X2 Automation Controller, HMI / PLC

The X2 is the second product of the streamlined Micro OCS Series of embedded I/O controllers. All units feature a built-in logic engine, operator interface, networking, and I/O.

Compact, Flexible HMI Controller
In the market of fixed I/O, all-in-one automation controllers, the X2 Micro OCS Series is unmatched. Suitable for most applications across a diverse range of industries, the X2 exceeds standards and expectations. The intuitive user interface, rugged durability, and suite of capabilities within the X2 are similar to most new products on the market.

New Product Announcement
The Micro OCS Series, from Horner Automation, is considered "mature" and will soon no longer be in production. We recommend considering the XL Prime Series or the Horner Canvas Series for new users and new applications.

The Micro OCS Series, from Horner Automation, is considered "mature" and will soon no longer be in production. We recommend considering newer, similar style models such as the XLE Series and XLT Series, or additional 4" models, the XL4 Prime and the Horner Canvas 4.

 

Compact, Sleek Physical Design

With fully integrated hardware and software, the X2 automation controller, from Horner Automation, offers easy programming, installation, development, as well as set-up. This automation controller has a small footprint and can easily retrofit into an existing system with little effort. Furthermore, our Micro OCS products do not have limits to their on-board I/O and many variations of remote I/O, such as the new OCS-I/O 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 small, sleek profile of the X2 all-in-one automation controller enables users to fit more in a panel, saving space as well as resources. For an introductory product, the X2 packs a big picture into an overall small package. For example, with just a 4.6 x 3.5" cutout, the overall design of the Micro X2 is powerful, reliable, and also durable.

 

All-in-One Automation Controller with Embedded I/O

In an effort to make implementing Horner OCS controllers as seamless and user-friendly as possible, we have selected a streamlined set of on-board I/O. The wide scope of digital and analog I/O make automating your applications, and thus your organization, as simple as the push of a button. Furthermore, if the built-in I/O of the X2 isn’t enough for a specific application, user can easily expand via CAN or serial.

 

Competitive Advantage

With the X2 Micro OCS controller, our engineers at Horner Automation offer a slim, versatile, as well as complimentary product to our existing line of robust industrial solutions. The Micro X2, as an introductory piece, empowers organizations to grow by seamlessly incorporating additional Horner solutions (such as our more advanced, new XL4 Prime or our premium X5 Prime OCS controllers) to an expanding system.
