- Online Programming make logic changes without stopping the controller
- High Resolution Color Touchscreen for detailed graphics and nearly instantaneous screen updates
- Advanced High Speed Counter four built-in counters supporting frequencies over 500 kHz
- Industrial Ethernet and Remote Control Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP and BACnet IP; FTP file transfer, Email, WebMI* for web-based Remote Monitoring, and Push data to the cloud with MQTT* Sparkplug (*WebMI / MQTT require one-time license)
- Plug and Play Data Logging record machine and process variables to microSD or USB Flash Drive
Grow Light Control System for Greenhouses, Indoor Farming
The X5 Prime grow light automation controller really packs a big picture into an overall small package. With just a 4.6" x 3.5" cutout, this 4.3" wide aspect screen is very friendly, intuitive, and clear. By incorporating our hidden soft key technology, you can use the entire screen to illustrate your specific applications.
With full integration of hardware and software, the XL Prime Series offers easy programming, installation, development and set-up. Our controllers have a small footprint and can easily retrofit into an existing system with little effort. The XL Prime Series is not limited to its on-board I/O. Many variations of the OCS-I/O can be 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 XL Prime series utilizes microSDTM Data Storage Memory, ideal for data logging, machine recipes, and application files.
- Bright, 65K color graphical touch sensing LCD display
- Display of complex graphical objects including trends, gauges, meters and animations
- High performance graphic processing
- Advanced control capabilities including floating point, multiple auto-tuning PID loops and string handling capabilities
Advanced Control and Performance
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. Four digital inputs, four digital outputs, and four analog inputs make automating your applications, and your organization, as simple as the push of a (virtual) button.
When it comes to speed, resolution, and technical capabilities, the X5 Prime is leading the way. We have developed some entirely new design techniques, a suite of capabilities similar to our more established XL Series of automation controllers, and unprecedented acceptance across an array of commercial and industrial applications. In the market of fixed I/O, web-compatible controllers, the X5 Prime is unmatched.
- Full featured, built-in I/O including high resolution analog, high speed counter inputs, and PWM outputs
- Advanced high speed I/O capabilities
- Cscape programming software that allows all aspects of the X5 Prime OCS to be programmed and configured from one integrated application
- On board Ethernet port (10/100Mbps) for Cscape programming and application defined communication with Auto MDI / MDI-X
Monitor and Data Logging Grow Light Control System
The XL Prime Series is designed as a modular system for easy selection and growth. CsCAN (CAN Based) high speed networking and Modbus RTU networking capabilities are standard in all Prime Series controllers. Ethernet is standard in XL Prime Series controllers and available as an optional component in all other models. Remote I/O options offer high performance, accurate analog, and easy-to-configure digital only modules. Horner I/O has flexible communication options that easily expand current systems.
- Removable media for FAT32 format (up to 2TB) of storage of programs, data logging or screen captures
- CsCAN networking port for communication with remote I/O, other controllers, or PCs
- High speed USB port for communication with PCs and programming of controller
- Configurable serial protocols for communication to drives, PLCs, or other serial peripherals
White Label Greenhouse Controller for OEMs
The XL Prime Series is a white-label product, which means that other companies can rebrand these units. Also, they fit in most cabinets, console designs, and color schemes, so they can be easily integrated into greenhouses and other indoor growing environments. A customized overlay can be added to match the language, logo, and industry terms of OEMs. This gives the flexibility to use the XL Prime series in any application.
WebMI for Remote Monitoring and Control
With Horner WebMI, you can monitor and control plant data from the palm of your hand. Published directly from the OCS Controller, WebMI allows the same or unique Web pages to be monitored and controlled from your computer, tablet, or other mobile device, supporting all of our controllers. Developed completely within our Cscape environment, WebMI allows for state-of-the-art HTML5 development without the need for web programming skills. The licensing and registration process is quick and simple while the benefits and affordability of WebMI will truly change your world.X5 Prime Series Grow Light Control System Specifications
