• Programmable hard keys 5 fully programmable function keys plus system key for easy diagnostics
• Capable controller 256KB Logic Space, Screen Update Speed is Adjustable with Logic Scan upto 0.2mSec/K logic.
• Single Programming Software One software for logic and screen development. IEC61131 Compliant
• Wide Range Power Supply
• Suitable for Mobile and Industrial Applications.

High standard of connectivity

• Integrated I/O 4 different combinations of built-in I/O available with colour-coded connectors
• 2 serial ports connect to a choice of many serial protocols for PLC, drives and other devices or our Serial I/O System
• CAN port working in CsCAN or CANopen mode (firmware change needed). For connecting with other devices, OCS products or remote CsCAN I/Os to expand system capabilities
• Removable MicroSD™ card. Up to 2 GB mass-memory, storage for data logging, recipes, web pages and much more
• Multiple add-on options available. Choose between GSM/GPRS modem, Ethernet module (Modbus TCP/IP) and PSTN modem. Other modules are under development

For a wide range of Application

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.

Connectivity

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 Cscape™ or our PC visualisation software Envision™ and any controller. In the diagram above, XLe and XL6 are accessed by the PC over Ethernet and CsCan through XLt.

5.7" TFT Colour Touch Screen

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.

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.

• RS-232/RS-485
• CAN networking port (CsCAN or CANopen)
• MicroSD™ Storage
• USB Port for programming etc
• USB Port for Flash Drive (future)
• Back-up Battery Door
• 10-30 VDC Power
• RS-485 termination and 2/4 wire select

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.

• Apply a label on the overlay to add your company logo
• Substitute a custom keypad with your company's logo, colors and industry terms
• Design overlays in any language
• All connectors are removable.
