We have a number of free tickets to share which you can avail of by clicking the button below.

Meet our team from Ireland to discuss your application, get hands-on with our products and software and discover our exciting new Developments for 2023.

We will be exhibiting a range of our product family line ups including Micro Series, XL Prime Series and the upcoming Canvas series controllers. We will also feature our OCS I/O solution and software demonstrations of Horner WebMi, MQTT and Cscape.

XL Prime Series

For years, the Horner XL Series has enjoyed a reputation as one of the most highly functional All-in-one Controller available anywhere. These products are currently trusted with thousands of applications world-wide. The NEW XL Prime Series builds upon that proven reputation – offering new and existing users alike performance upgrades and a highly secure, modern memory
architecture. This is accomplished with a new Horner designed System on Module (SOM) – containing a faster CPU, onboard mass storage and 100% non-volatile memory. The only battery is a small coin cell – simply tasked with maintaining the clock.

If you are a new automation designer looking for an innovative, reliable control solution – the XL Prime Series offers a fully integrated product in hardware and software. If you are an existing XL Series user – your current application program will port straight through in less than 30 seconds. In either case you can’t go wrong.

Micro Series

Our Micro OCS line of products introduces a series of fixed I/O controllers with exceptional performance and a streamlined ordering and pricing structure. These powerful and efficient controllers are well-suited to perform many of the same high-end applications as our popular XL series at the price point of an introductory component – value engineering hard at work.

Horner WebMi

Implementing, accessing, and managing remote applications has never been easier, faster, and safer than through WebMI – the first release in the new webOCS product line. Published directly from the OCS controller, WebMI empowers users to control everything onscreen from a computer, tablet, or other mobile device.Contributing to the global trend known as the Internet of Things (or loT), Horner WebMI instantly connects users to their automated applications.

Published directly from the OCS Controller, customers have the ability to remotely monitor and control easier and faster than ever before, all through a phone, computer, or tablet – providing users with the necessary insights to grow and improve their business.Developed completely within our Cscape environment, WebMI allows for state-of-the- art HTML5 development without the need for web programming skills. The licensing and registration process is quick and simple while the benefits and affordability of WebMI will truly change your world.Whether you’re looking to utilise one connected device or 50, our license levels come in manageable packages that will work within the scope of most applications and organizations. Published directly from the OCS controller, WebMI allows users to control everything onscreen from a computer, tablet, or other mobile device.

OEE Solution Kit (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

dc_monitor-01-e1657735980554

The Horner OEE Solution kit is a pre-programmed solution that is fast and easy to implement. No programming development on the user end, just a simple setup on the touchscreen and you can start monitoring and collecting data in minutes.

Remote tools are available for management visibility of all work cells being monitored for OEE. These tools include datalogs and dedicated management screens independent of operator screens. Data is made available for management to analyze shift, day, week and even monthly production information.

REPORTS – SMART OEE ON EVERY PROCESS:

• Log production data that is immediately available to every user on your network
• Instantly generate data to use for work cell or shift reports for a process, area, plant, division or your entire enterprise
• Collect work cell OEE performance data and alarms, downtime reason codes and operator calls
• Data to create custom dashboards and reports exactly how you want them from the OEE stored data files

RESULTS – IMPROVEMENT AT EVERY LEVEL:

• Single source of data – detailed, accurate, timely and precise
• Operators – Meet production targets by empowerment to improving focus and quicker reaction to downtime and quality events
• Supervisors – Set shift targets using data to analyze and be proactive
• Leadership – Launch projects, set goals and compare investments with results

Plant Wide Data Collection can be displayed on a large screen AND ON monitor

And next years releases:

OCS I/O

Maybe You Only Need One More…

Sometimes you only need a little bit. Start with the CNX116 – which includes I/O right on the base. Meant as the perfect small amount of complementary I/O, the CNX116 gives you (2) Flexible Inputs (Digital or 12-bit Analog), (2) Digital Outputs, (1) 16-bit Universal Analog Input and (1) 12-bit Analog Output right onboard. Two inputs that can be used for either digital or analog signals, giving it up to 3 analog inputs without even needing another module.

…Or Maybe You Need A Lot

With expandability up to 7 modules per base and 16 bases per network, OCSI/O can handle almost any amount of I/O needs. It even includes a CsCAN In and CsCAN Out port to allow you to easily daisy-chain multiple bases without requiring a lot of custom wiring.

and Configuration Is a Breeze

Whether it’s a little or a lot, OCS-I/O configuration is meant to be simple and effortless. It’s configured using Cscape software, so when wired up, it can find the base and autopopulate all installed modules automatically. From there you may only need to tweak a couple of configurations for the base or modules to be ready to go. Cscape also calculates the I/O power usage for you automatically, so you’ll never overload an I/O base.

Canvas Series

The release of Cscape 10 will also unlock the full potential of our upcoming Canvas Series of controllers. The Canvas Series will harness all the above features on a range of powerful All-In-One controllers to suit all kinds of applications.

The Canvas Series Controllers will feature:

  • All-new Models with a New Look
  • Multi-core CPU with an Advanced Graphics Engine

Please note that the Canvas Series will require Cscape 10.

Cscape 10 and Canvas Series controllers are currently scheduled to be released in 2023.
