New, Low-cost
Graphical OCS with Embedded
Ethernet
The NX Graphical OCS series
is a low cost, high-performance all-in-one
controller with embedded features such as
Ethernet, CompactFLASH® and Web server. It uses
Horner’s industry-recognized Cscape software and
the complete selection of SmartStack I/O—that can
be snapped on the back of the NX controller—and
SmartStix remote I/O. OCS (Operator Control
Station) is a robust, reliable control product
that combines a traditional controller…programmed
in ladder logic… operator interface, I/O and
networking into an integrated, all-in-one unit
using a single software package. An NX Graphical
OCS can control many different types of machines
and processes—from medium to large
applications—requiring an operator interface,
controller, I/O and networking. The NX has 0.1mS/K
ladder scan rate, 256K ladder memory, supports
4096 digital and 1024 analog I/O points and offers
two I/O options for local and remote
requirements. The NX also has Internet
capabilities…including programming over the
Internet to remote locations, and hosting Web
pages and FTP sites. Available models include 240
x 128 and 128 x 64 backlit LCD graphical screens
and each NX model has 10 function keys with LEDs
plus dedicated soft keys. Prices start from $695
for the 128 x 64 graphical screen model with 256K
ladder memory and CompactFLASH support…and under
$800 with embedded Ethernet, Web server and
built-in high speed
counters.
CompactFLASH Stores Data
and Allows Easy Program Updates
The NX
Graphical OCS has a built-in CompactFLASH slot
that allows users to conveniently set up the
controller to store machine or process data (up to
2GB memory). In addition, programs and updates can
be loaded through a CompactFLASH card. This is a
real advantage for OEMs or those supporting
distant sites because end users can simply and
safely plug in a CompactFLASH card and update the
program.
Connect to the Internet
and Existing PLCs and Drives
With
embedded Ethernet and Web Server, the NX is
Web-enabled and supports many Internet
capabilities…including remote viewing, access, and
programming over the Internet, and hosting Web
pages and FTP sites. Our Web Server allows you to
create custom Web pages, and using available Web
browser software, you can access information you
need, when you need it, remotely from any Internet
access location in the world. For your other
networking needs, Horner has a large library of
third party protocols that allow any NX to easily
connect to a variety of PLCs and Drives.This gives
you the option to network the NX to existing
control systems in your plant or factory…and/or
use the NX as a display.
