Join Us at SPS Italia, Fiere di Parma | 13–15 May 2025 | Hall 6 – Stand E020

Horner Automation Europe, a leading manufacturer of all-in-one programmable logic controllers (PLCs), is pleased to announce its participation in SPS Italia 2025, taking place in Parma from 13th to 15th May, in partnership with its long-standing Italian distributor, Tex-El Automazione & Robotica Srl.

Visitors will find Horner and Tex-El in Hall 6, Stand E020, where they will be presenting a comprehensive portfolio of integrated automation solutions—including all-in-one PLC/HMI controllers, remote I/O systems—designed to streamline process control, boost operational efficiency, and support scalable industrial automation projects.

Unleash the Power of All-in-One Automation with the OCS Canvas Series

Horner’s Canvas Series of OCS controllers offer users a brand-new collection of enhanced graphical objects, beginning with Cscape 10, to enable complete creative freedom in designing technically advanced and visually impressive screens. Benefit from intuitive single-touch swipe gestures and a reimagined system menu—perfect for building next-generation applications.

Available in screen sizes ranging from 4” to 10”, Canvas Series controllers handle all machine functions within a single hardware platform: logic control, operator interface, I/O, and networking.

The Canvas Series also supports WebMI+, the next evolution of Horner’s trusted remote access tool, along with MQTT payloads, multiple CAN protocols, and enhanced IEC programming support—all available straight out of the box with no additional licensing costs. Whether you’re a new automation designer seeking a smart, dependable solution, or an existing user of the XL or XL Prime Series, the Canvas Collection offers seamless integration—your current application can be transferred in under 30 seconds. In either case, it’s a smart choice.

Scalable Control Solutions: Micro & Canvas Controllers with HMI Connect

Micro Modular Controllers offer the perfect blend of form, function, and flexibility in a compact package. Designed for applications that require high I/O density with minimal footprint, these controllers feature up to 34 flexible built-in I/O points and support modular OCS-I/O expansion. For enhanced visualisation, users can add an HMI Connect touchscreen either locally or remotely—available on select models—making the Micro Series an ideal solution for scalable automation.

Canvas Modular Controllers take integration even further, offering the convenience of an all-in-one controller and the power of a mid-size PLC. Packaged in a traditional form factor, Canvas Controllers simplify development and maintenance by unifying logic and HMI into a single application file. The ability to connect an HMI Connect touchscreen—both locally or remotely—adds to the system’s versatility.

HMI Connect touchscreens are the newest addition to Horner’s portfolio. These add-on HMIs seamlessly integrate with both the Micro and Canvas Series Modular Controllers, providing users with flexible, intuitive control interfaces suited to their specific application needs. These will be available in IP65 Enclosure Mount and IP67 VESA Mount versions.
