The Horner Automation Group is pleased to announce the release of Cscape 10 software – a major new release of Horner’s FREE Windows-based Application Development software for their line of OCS All-in-one Controllers and PLCs. Cscape is used by Automation Professionals to configure every aspect of their OCS-controlled machine control applications. This includes logic development using Ladder Logic and other IEC61131 languages, screen development and user interface design, network communications and I/O configuration. Cscape and OCS were the first to perform all these functions in a unified control platform using a single software development package in their initial version in the late 1990s. Cscape 10 continues the legacy of innovative, powerful yet easy-to-use software that has continued to be provided completely FREE for more than 25 years.
As a major new release, Cscape 10 features a redesigned user interface and among its dozens of improvements includes the newly developed Advanced Graphics Engine. This Advanced Graphics Engine supports several graphic building blocks for user interface design that have been reimagined from the ground up. These include (but are not limited to) Trend, XY Graph and Scatter Graph objects, a Recipe object, Alarm objects and a Video playback object.

What version of Cscape do I need?
Cscape 10 is a major new release that offers a variety of significant enhancements to the User Interface, Logic and Screen development. These advancements can be realised by any OCS user utilising any current Horner OCS platform.
In addition – Cscape 10 contains a large number of exclusive features for the new Canvas line of All-in-one Controllers. This is especially true as it relates to the Canvas Advanced Graphics engine – where several screen development tools and graphics objects have been re-imagined from the ground up.
For Canvas users, Cscape 10 is required. We invite non-Canvas OCS users to transition to Cscape 10 on their desired schedule – proceeding as is customary with any major software release prior to its deployment in the field.
For some time, both versions (Cscape 9.9 and Cscape 10) will be available as current releases on the Horner Automation website. This will allow customers the flexibility to utilise the version that best meets their needs during this transition period.
