XL10 Prime Series, PLC Automation Controller

The XL Prime Series features all-in-one automation controllers to perform all machine functions in a unified hardware design: Logic Control, Operator Interface, I/O, as well as Networking. This automation controller offers modern memory architecture based on a custom SOM (System on Module) designed by Horner Automation, which utilizes a powerful ARM microprocessor and 100% non-volatile memory for reliability. Furthermore, the high performance logic engine offers fast scan times solving user logic using Variable-based Advanced Ladder logic or the IEC 6-1131 language set.   

• high speed USB port for communication with PCs and also for the programming of the controller
• configurable serial protocols for communication to drives, PLCs, or other serial peripherals
• full featured, built-in I/O including high resolution analog, thermocouple, RTD, high-speed counters, PWM outputs, as well as relays (depending upon the XL10 Prime OCS model)
• advanced high speed I/O capabilities
• Cscape programming software that allows all aspects of the XL10 Prime OCS to be programmed and also configured from one integrated application
• optional communication add-on modules
• two onboard Ethernet ports (10/100Mbps) for Cscape programming as well as application defined communication, with Auto MDI/MDI-X

Automation Controller with High Quality Graphics and Advanced Function

With online programming options, users can make logic changes without stopping the controller. The high resolution color touchscreen offers quality detail graphics and nearly instantaneous screen updates. Additionally, the XL10 Prime Series has four built-in high speed counters supporting frequencies over 500 kHz. This automation controller also features plug-and-play data logging capable of machine recording and can process variables to microSD or USB Flash Drive. Industrial ethernet and remote control functions include:

• Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, as well as BACnet IP
• FTP file transfer, email
• WebMI* for web-based remote monitoring
• MQTT Sparkplug* for pushing data to the cloud
• Horner App - the first automation app to give customers the ability to access all WebOCS enabled controllers with their iOS or Android phone or tablet

*WebMI and MQTT require a one-time license

User-Friendly Touch Screen HMI Operation Interface

• 640×480 LCD TFT color graphics display with a high resolution resistive touchscreen
• 5 function keys as well as a system key
• USB 2.0 On-the-Go port (mini-B 5pin) is available for programming
• a USB 2.0 Host port (A) is also available for exchanging files with USB FLASH drives
• two (2) RS-232 / RS-485 ports support RTU / Modbus Commander / Responder (Master/Slave), ASCII In/Out, as well as PLC / Drive downloadable protocols

Built-in Networking Features

• logic engine features 1MB of application memory with a 0.02mS/K logic scan
• online programming mode for making logic changes on the fly without going through stop mode
• two built-in 10/100 Ethernet port
• two integrated CAN ports that support CsCAN and either CANopen, J1939, or DeviceNet Scanner simultaneously
