The QX Color-Touch OCS series features a fast, powerful logic engine, XGA, QVGA and SVGA resolution touch screens and optional snap-on 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.
The QX has five screen sizes to choose from (5.7" 8.4", 10.4", 12.1", and 15"), and a typical logic scan rate
of 0.2mS/K. In addition, the QX has embedded Ethernet and supports many Internet
capabilities such as remote data access, programming, hosting HTML-based Web
pages, and FTP sites.
Plus, the QX line has a built-in Compact FLASH® slot (QX351 utilizes microSD) that allows users
to easily store machine or process data (up to 2GB). Programs can be updated and
loaded through the memory card, a real advantage for OEMs or those supporting
distant sites.
Most QX Color-Touch OCS have optional I/O and video add-on features too. Base QX units provide
control, operator interface, and communication functionality. Video connectivity can be achieved with the VIM400, (QX 751 will use VIM401) the video input option. This modularity allows the I/O or video functions to be omitted or added to more precisely meet the application requirements.
Backpack Options Add Local and Remote I/O
While the QX351 includes built-in Backpack capabilities, there are two Backpack options for the QX451, QX551 and QX651. These include:(HE-BP41 & HE-BP43, with high speed counter). Both
are compact and easy-to-install on the back of the QX base unit. With Backpack HE-BP41 installed, up to two SmartStack I/O modules can be snapped on. (HE-BP43 supports four.) In addition, Backpack users can connect hundreds of local or remote I/O using our Fiber Optic (FOX) Expansion I/O and our SmartStix terminal-type I/O modules. If the HE-BP43 Backpack is selected, a 500 KHz High Speed Counter (with PWM) is included. For smaller applications, the QX with Backpack creates a single, compact package that includes control, display, networking, and up to four snap-on SmartStack I/O modules.
Video Input Option Allows Machine Viewing and More Security
The advanced feature of video input functionality (VIM400) for the QX Color-Touch OCS is being
used more and more by companies who need to integrate security, view machinery in remote
locations, or need to incorporate a machine vision monitor with their control system. The video
input option allows four channels of NTSC or PAL video to be connected to the QX (QX451,
QX551, QX651.) The QX751 uses VIM401 to provide video viewing and capture capability. Users can view video with the full frame rate at VGA resolution. Video can also be viewed freeze frame, and/or saved as a single frame to Compact FLASH. A separate control register allows the controller to automatically freeze or save video snap-shots based on the machine state.
The QX751 is the brightest and largest touch screen Horner APG has ever offered in an all-in-one controller. The 15" XGA resolution (1024x768) touch screen is perfect for applications such as: Distributed control systems, food processing, robotics, automatic transfer power systems and more. The QX751's large screen area enables you to place more objects per screen and operate them from a comfortable viewing distance.
