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.
