Simple solutions for a wide range of industrial applications with the flexible OCS product range from Horner Automation.
Summary
Horner Automation’s OCS (Operator Control Station) combines PLC controller, operator interface, I/O, networking, and programming into a single compact unit. The OCS provides a better control systems solution for original equipment manufacturers, integrators, and end-users alike. More and more, there is a move to all-in-one controllers because of ease of use, cost-savings, and flexibility. Since 1998, OCS has led the way in this emerging market with the largest installed base, and product
selection.
Lower costs, more options and easy to use.
Since 1998, OCS has led the way in this emerging market with the largest installed base and product selection ranging from small text-based screens to large colour touchscreens. OCS has been used successfully in a variety of applications, including:
• Custom OEM products
• Renewable Energy
• Water Treatment
• Compressor Control
• Automotive Parts Manufacturing
• Mobile Machinery
• Power Management and Backup Generation
• Packaging Machinery
• Pump Control Systems
• Food Processing
• Distributed Conveyor Control Systems
• HVAC/Environmental Control Systems
OCS applications are developed with a powerful and secure programming package called Cscape™. It supports logic programming, operator interface development, I/O configuration, and network configuration in a single software package. Offering many security features, users can be required to enter passwords to access protected operations (such as upload, download, verify and controller mode). Cscape™ can be downloaded for free. It has no costly licensing fees, so you don’t have to pay for software upgrades. With fully integrated hardware and software, OCS offers easier programming, installation, development, and set-up.
You can also save time and money with an OCS because less panel space is needed. It is designed as a modular system for easy selection and growth, and it has embedded CAN, ethernet and Modbus RTU networking capabilities.
OCS is designed to look like a “generic” operator station, fitting in with most cabinet and console designs and colour schemes. But sometimes adding an individualised look can make a world of difference in the overall usefulness of an operator station and the marketing of your machine or system.
You can customise an off-the-shelf OCS in many inexpensive ways to give you this advantage:
• Apply a label on the overlay to add your company logo
• Substitute a custom keypad or overlay with your company’s logo, colours and industry terms – our advanced manufacturing techniques make this available to low and high-volume users alike
• Program the OCS to operate in several languages, such as English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and more via our easy-to-use multi-language feature
We can also provide more extensive customisation such as:
• Modifying existing I/O modules
• Designing new I/O configurations and control functions
• Adding protocol or communication options
• Designing a custom control station from the ground up
Wherever your systems are put into use, there will be a Horner Office or Distributor ready to support your end user. Check out our offices and distribution network. Please contact us directly with your requirements and let us see how we can support you with “Automation Made Simple”.
