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.
