Horner X5 Prime is an industrial panel with a 4,3" color touchscreen that enables machine control and data visualization. It combines a logic controller (HORNER PLC) and operator touchscreen interface (HMI) in a single device. Depending on the model, you can choose the number and type of analog or digital inputs and outputs. If the built-in I/Os are not sufficient, they can be expanded via 1x Ethernet, 1x CAN or 2x serial interfaces.
It is ideal for production lines and machines with fast cycles and complex logic. Thanks to its powerful processor, it handles demanding tasks reliably and quickly. Engineers and integrators will appreciate its robust design and flexibility, which save time during both installation and operation.

WebMI beyond the basic free version (1 user, 1 page, 5 data points)
Los PLC HORNER combinan el control de la máquina, la pantalla de operación y las entradas/salidas en un solo dispositivo. Si necesita una solución compacta para una máquina más pequeña, una parte de una línea, un puesto de prueba o la modernización de una tecnología antigua, no tiene que buscar y combinar por separado un PLC, un panel HMI y módulos de E/S.
Los vídeos formativos del fabricante muestran cómo conectar el panel, trabajar en Cscape, configurar la comunicación, utilizar WebMI y realizar el trabajo básico con entradas y salidas. Son especialmente útiles durante la primera puesta en marcha, para que no tenga que descubrirlo todo por el método de prueba y error.
