Don't want to use our  New Concept in Control ? Horner Europe introduces a new concept in integrated control with the affordable new OCS operator control station.  This compact system combines a controller, an operator interface, I/O and networking into one seamless solution to help lower control costs while providing unparalleled ease of use. For Users who prefer the Traditional arrangement of a PLC and Seperate Operator Interface. Horner offers the Remote Control Station (RCS) a feature packed Midrange Capable PLC at low end Prices. CONTROL The RCS has a ladder-based control engine that is powered by the highly-rated Intel 296 processor. This processor provides speed comparable to most mid-sized PLCs and is exactly the same as used in the OCS 100/200 family. INPUT/OUTPUT The SmartStack"! I/O expansion system allows the RCS to use both digital and analog I/O boards. Up to 4 I/O boards may be stacked onto a single RCS unit, giving you flexibility with various I/O combinations. OPERATOR INTERFACE Designed to be used with or without a seperate operator interface. Horner offers its TIU Range - a feature packed range of HMI that can be easily configured to communicate with the RCS. NETWORKING A benefit of the RCS is that it can connect to versions of the TIU that use our CAN based protocol CsCAN . This leaves the TIU with a Serial port free to communicate with a device of your choice. When used with a fieldbus TIU on a Serial link the RCS can easily connect to popular Fieldbus networks. Ethernet is also available via a Plug In Smartstack Module. 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. Relay Ladder Logic Floating Point Math Motion Commands Serial Read and Write Commands While the RCS and Standard TIU  is perfect for stand-alone applications, the true differentiator of the RCS is the integrated network. Standard with  a CAN network portthe RCS allows the user to choose between the industry standard DeviceNet"! slave protocol, or Horner's own true peer-to-peer protocol, CSCAN. Both offer high performance fieldbus networking. DeviceNet is a master/slave protocol with limited peer-to-peer data exchange. The CSCAN protocol is optimized for peer-to-peer data, and is ideal for distributed control and data-collection applications. Using either protocol, OCS offers the ability to program, monitor, or debug any node on the network simply by having a serial connection at any location.
