Control Products
 

Our control products are based around our Operator Control Station (OCS) concept and are used in all areas of automation.

OCS combines a Controller, Operator Interface, Network and I/O into a single product.

Control

The OCS is comparable with a mid sized PLC in terms of performance. Programmed by a single, powerful ladder logic software package, you can actually develop HMI Screens within the ladder software as well as the control functions.

Cscape, our software package, simplifies the programming task by eliminating the need for two software packages as commonly associated with programming PLC's and HMI's.

Networking

Most of our products also feature our low cost CAN based network called CsCAN which provides a powerful network to other units or SCADA at a minimal cost and provides a single point of connection to the network for programming, monitoring and troubleshooting.

In addition to our CsCAN based units, we also support Modbus RTU Slave, Devicenet on the same unit.

Ethernet versions are also available which provide 3 common protocols including Modbus TCP/IP.

 


Operator Interface

You can choose from small Text based screens to Colour TFT Screens, all integrated with the Controller as one product and easily programmed.

Input / Output

Our I/O system is based around our modular Smartstack family which includes over 40 different modules.

The I/O systems plug directly into some of our OCS models and on our Colour Touch range are interconnected by means of a High Speed Plastic Fibre Optic Bus System.

Our extensive I/O range encompasses both Digital Modules and Analogue Modules which feature inputs from most Temperature Measuring Devices.

We also have a wide range of Communications and Specialist Modules including High Speed Counters and Stepper Indexer Modules.


HMI Products
 

Our Operator Interfaces (HMI's) are based around our TIU range of Operator Stations. While offered at low end price levels, they actually provide high end features.

These very flexible units range from 2 line Text Models to Colour Touchscreen TFT. We also have a range of Semi-Graphics Screens that allow a level of animation at low cost.

We have very easy to use programming software that is guaranteed to get you up and running quickly.

 


Communications is a key feature of the TIU range. As well as Fieldbus versions, we have over 100 Communication Protocols and are actively creating more drivers each month. If what you require is not yet available, please contact us and we will try to provide if for you quickly.

Smartstack I/O Modules, controlled by our Maths Script Language, can be added to our larger units thereby enhancing their capabilities.


Custom Products

We pride ourselves on fulfilling our customers' specific needs while providing significant value in the operational solutions we offer.

If our current product selection does not include what you need, please contact us with your specific requirements and we will do our utmost to accomodate you.

We routinely make product adaptations at volumes that you would not have thought possible. This gives you the opportunity to get exactly what you want.

Our business has always been characterised by this flexible approach and we intend to continue adapting in order to satisfy our customers completely.

It's the Horner way !
