The XL6 All-in-One controller with a built-in 32,000 colour TFT touch screen, I/O-Modules, networking options, removable MicroSDTM Card and USB ports. It's programmable by Horner APG's industry recognised CscapeTM software and can control a wide range of different processes and machines from small to medium applications.
|
A capable controller and operator interface
|
High standard of connectivity
|
As a compact, powerful controller, XL6 can be used in literally thousands of applications from Machines to Mobile and Process Control Applications. High-speed Ethernet, CANBus and Modbus options offer you the perfect networking mix.

The XL Series comes with a wide range of field installable add-on communications options. You can select from the following: 10/100MBit Ethernet, GSM/GPRS cellular, telephone modem and radio modems. All options support remote Cscape™ programming, Modbus master and slave and OPC. Both the 10/100 Ethernet and GSM/GPRS cellular also support Modbus/TCP slave. A GPS receiver unit is also available for mobile applications.
![]() I/O Expansion XL6 Series I/O expansion is not limited to its Built-in I/O. SmartStix is a high-speed I/O and can be distributed over distances of up to 1km. SmartMod based I/O is a cost effective solution of adding another set of mixed I/O. |
![]() Architecture Supports CsCAN or CANopen high-speed networking as standard and Ethernet as a field-installable option. Single-point-of-connect (only CsCAN) allows seamless communications between the PC running CscapeTM or our PC visualisation software EnvisionTM and any controller. In the diagram above, XLe and XL6 ' are accessed by the PC over Ethernet and CsCan through XLt. |
We are continually developing more features for the XL range. For our available models, options and accessories and also for ordering details please visit www.horner-apg.com and select the solution which suits your requirements best.
The XL6 Touch Screen controller is Horner`s newest addition to the XL Series of Operator Control Stations. XL6 incorporates a 5.7" TFT (thin film transistor) liquid crystal display capable of displaying a palette of 32k colours. The result is a photo quality interface that can display elaborately detailed objects and imagery.
The XL6 is the first OCS to include a USB programming port that allows you to program the unit directly using a standard USB interface cable, eliminating the need for a USB to serial cable adapter connection.

The XL6 offers fast graphics updates and a logic scan rate of 0.2mS/k, resulting in superior overall performance for larger applications.
Just like the XLe and XLt, the XL6 comes with color-coded input and output connectors for fast, easy wiring in the field. Plus, the XL6 also incorporates a newly designed battery compartment on the back that allows you to quickly change-out the memory back-up battery. Two battery connectors are included so you can install a new battery first, then remove the old one.
Caption:
The XL6 features both MicroSD™ and USB (A) connectors for data. MicroSD™ supports up to 2GB of local storage, while the USB port will soon support portable file transfer to/from the XL6.

Applications
As a compact, powerful controller, the XL6 can be used in literally thousands of applications. From OEM machine control to machine monitoring in a plant environment, the XL Series can be instrumental in keeping you or your customer's automation activities running smoothly. Future expansion is not a concern because the XL6 is part of the wide-ranging OCS product line - programmable throughout with a single FREE software package, Cscape™.
Customization
OCS is designed to look like a "generic" operator station, fitting in with most cabinet and console designs and color schemes. But sometimes adding an individualized look can mean a world of difference in the overall usefulness of an operator station and the marketing of your machine or system.

All connectors are removable.
