All in One – Programmable Logic Controller, HMI and I/O
Automation control solutions need to simply perform, whether you are looking for industrial, process, or building applications and in such a competitive industry, knowing where to turn can be a difficult decision. Horner Automation comprises a team of software designers and product manufacturers of all-in-one operator control stations and dedicated software for unrivalled functionality, whether you are an OEM, an integrator, or an end user.
Operator control stations
Operator control stations (known as OCS) are designed and developed by Horner Automation to integrate the traditional automation products found in industrial, process and building automation into a single product that can collect and showcase industry-specific data across your business landscape. These units have a Human Machine Interface (HMI) such as a touchscreen device and are programmed with proprietary software for systems that work in real-time, bringing controllers, operator interfaces, I/O and networking protocols to your fingertips no matter where you are.
Whether you need programmable HMI, I/O, software, or peripherals, these factory automation control solutions are compact units that are easy to use, flexible and can lead to cost savings for a variety of automation protocols. Applications include everything from quality control, energy monitoring, water flow control, assembly line automation, data management and so much more.
Software solutions
Horner Automation has software products that are designed to integrate the entire control package and include free configuration software (Cscape) alongside remote monitoring and control software that can be used to streamline processes, instantly generate data and collect performance insights.
Expansion and remote I/O
The possibilities are almost endless, as Horner Automation controllers aren’t limited to onboard I/O alone, but also operate using local expansion and remote I/O solutions that are designed to expand capacity with a wide range of communication options (these include Ethernet, CsCAN, CANopen and RTU-based I/O).
