The Micro OCS Series, from Horner Automation, is considered "mature" and will soon no longer be in production. We recommend considering the newest 5" model, the X5 Prime and the Horner Canvas 5.
X5 Touchscreen PLC from Horner Automation
The X5 Micro OCS touchscreen PLC packs a big picture into an overall small package. With just a 4.6 x 3.5" cutout, this automation controller, with its 4.3" wide aspect screen, is very user-friendly as well as intuitive. Furthermore, by incorporating our hidden soft key technology, you can use the entire screen to illustrate your specific applications.
- wide aspect color touchscreen PLC
- streamlined I/O
- Cscape configurable
- Modbus and WebMI enabled
All-in-One PLC, HMI, and I/O with Remote Monitoring
In an effort to make implementing Horner Automation controllers as seamless and user-friendly as possible, the X5 features a streamline set of on-board input / output. Four digital inputs, four digital outputs, in addition to four analog inputs make automating your applications, and your organization, as simple as the push of a (virtual) button.
WebMI enabled, so you can manage who accesses certain screens. Furthermore, you can govern who has the ability to control the screens which they are allowed to access. From graphic objects to application commands – you also control who can do what, all with and through WebMI.
Internet of Things (IoT), Cscape, HTML5
WebMI instantly connects users to their automated applications. With WebMI, users have the ability to remotely monitor and control easier and faster than ever before. For example, it's all available through your phone, computer, or tablet. Being Cscape enabled allows users to create, monitor, as well as control the OCS application remotely without any manual HTML development. Quickly and instantly delivering almost everything users want to accomplish with the application online via web browser. In addition, HTML5 allows communications across all devices. Users can design Horner OCS screens using scalable vector graphics so they will look just sharp, clear, and professional regardless of the device, no matter what size.
Competitive Advantage
The simplistic overall design of the X5 empowers our team of driven engineers to develop a product at the forefront of leading technology. Moreover, it creates an opportunity to take advantage of commercial economies of scale. The state-of-the-art design, along with economic efficiencies, positions the X5 touchscreen PLC as more than a technological milestone – it’s a competitive industrial leader.
