The XL Prime Series performs all machine functions in a unified hardware design. This design includes the Logic Control, Operator Interface, I/O, and as well as networking. This HMI controller offers modern memory architecture based on a custom designed SOM (System on Module) utilizing a powerful ARM microprocessor and 100% non-volatile memory for reliability. With high-performance logic engines, the XL4 Prime automation controller, from Horner Automation, offers fast scan times. This solves user logic using Variable-based Advanced Ladder logic or the IEC 6-1131 language set.
Online Programming and Remote Control
Online programming is available through WebMI, MQTT Sparkplug, and the Horner App, which also allows for remote control. It also enables users to make logic changes without stopping the controller. Communication relies on EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, BACnet IP, FTP file transfer, as well as email. Collected data can be logged including record machine and also process variables, which can be saved to a microSD or USB Flash Drive.
Fast Processing and Response Time
The screen is a high-resolution color touchscreen that is capable of displaying detailed graphics and also provides nearly instantaneous screen updates. Furthermore, the XL Prime HMI controller series includes an advanced high-speed counter with four built-in counters supporting frequencies over 500 kHz.
