Overview
CONTROL
The RCX has a ladder-based control engine that is powered by processor with 256KB logic memory. This processor provides speed comparable to most mid-sized PLCs and is exactly the same as used in the XL6 family.
INPUT/OUTPUT
Because of the multiple ports on the RCX, it is capable of handling all Horner I/O expansions including: SmartStack, SmartRail (built-in Ethernet Port), SmartStix and SmartBlock (CsCAN port) & SmartMod (Modbus serial).
The SmartStack I/O expansion system allows the RCX to use both digital and analog I/O boards. Up to 4 I/O boards may be stacked onto a single RCX unit, giving you flexibility with various I/O combinations. Together with Ethernet, CAN and Serial I/O capabilities RCX can use all I/O combinations possible.
OPERATOR INTERFACE
Designed to be used with or without a seperate operator interface. Horner offers its TIU Range (or another OCS with a display) that can be easily configured to communicate with the RCX.
RELAY LADDER LOGIC
Cscape software provides graphical ladder diagram programming (IEC-1131 compliant) . Design engineers and end users will enjoy reduced development time with a straightforward approach to programming that integrates logic, and networking into a single solution operating in the Windows environments.

Remote I/O
Remote I/O available for this product includes:
Networking
A benefit of the RCX is that it can connect to other Horner devices that use our CAN based protocol CsCAN (majority of products). This leaves the other communication ports (Ethernet and 2 serial ports) free to communicate with a device of your choice.
