CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Product
Description
The Horner Electric Operator Control Station (HE500OCS050 or HE500OCS051) combines the
power of a Horner Electric OIU057 (small Operator Interface Unit) with on-board I/O capability
and networking within one controller.
Powerful and compact, the controller has Serial and CAN (Controller Area Network)
communication abilities. The unit contains a standard 9-pin RS-232 for programming/debugging,
monitoring and network administration from an IBM-compatible PC. The HE500OCS050 uses
Horner Electric’s CsCAN (pronounced “Sea-scan”) peer to peer networking. The HE500OCS051
works as a DeviceNet
slave. When several Operator Control Stations are networked together
to achieve a specific purpose, the system performs like a “large parallel-processing PLC”.
The Operator Control Station has several desirable features. The front panel contains a 2x16
Liquid Crystal Display (with backlight), which is highly visible. The front panel also has five user-
programmable keys, an UP key and a DOWN key. The bottom of the unit has two Horner Electric
Micro I/O interface ports (for 8 inputs and 8 outputs), DC power port, serial communication and
CAN communication ports. The controller measures 3.5”x6”x5”x6.”

Software Package Option
As an option, Horner Electric offers Cscape
(pronounced “Sea-scape”) Software for use with
the HE500OCS050 and HE500OCS051 . Powerful yet easy-to-use, the ladder editor
programming software allows for the off-line creation, editing, saving and loading of ladder logic
programs and text screens for the HE500OCS050 and HE500OCS051. When connected to the
serial port of the Operator Control Station, the software user has the capability to download,
upload, run and monitor ladder programs and text screens. A comprehensive documentation
package is included with the purchase of Cscape
Software and contains software, manuals,
and a communication cable.
