HORNER Cscape 10

PLC program and HMI screens in one project. Free of charge.

In Cscape you prepare the control of the small machine, operating screens, inputs and outputs as well as communication of the HORNER panel. Logic and HMI use common data, so you use the same values ​​in the program and on the display.

Standard Cscape is free with every HORNER panel. You do not buy a programming license. Additional device specific features such as WebMI, MQTT or extended modes have their own license and firmware terms.

Applications in small machines and systems

Pump switching according to time or event

You set the start and stop conditions in the program. Add the pump status, time or set limit to the screen.

Controlling a small machine or fixture

You prepare the work sequence, the piece counter and the service buttons. The operator changes the enabled settings on the panel.

Measurement and simple regulation

You convert the input signal to an operating value, set the limits and establish the necessary logic. The signals must match the I/O device.

Local equipment monitoring

You will display operating values ​​and alarms. You can use trends and data recording according to the equipment of the selected panel.

Device selection and version Cscape

First select the exact panel HORNER. Its display, I/O, firmware and any licenses determine the available features of the project.

Micro, XL and XL PRIMEControl logic, standard screens, I/O configuration and communication by model.
CANVASRequires Cscape 10; uses an advanced graphics system with its own objects and options.
Existing projectSave a separate backup before opening in the new version. After saving in a newer version, the project may not be openable in the older one.
When transferring to another panel, check hardware configuration, I/O mapping, display resolution, communication and licenses. The mere similarity of the panels does not guarantee transfer without modification.

First run

  1. On the Horner website, register or log in and download the corresponding Cscape installer.
  2. Install the software on a Windows PC. Start a new project and select the exact panel model.
  3. Select the programming language and configure the necessary I/O. Create simple logic and first screen.
  4. Set the connection to the panel according to its available ports. After transmission, verify signals, controls and fault response.

PC Requirements

Software platformWindows; the manufacturer recommends Windows 10 or later
Processor2 GHz or faster
RAMMinimum 4 GB, recommended 8 GB
Installation spaceApproximately 1 GB; additional space for projects and backups
Manufacturer accountTo download and login; access to licensed extensions according to the manufacturer's terms

Equipment and cost of the first project

You download Cscape and start preparing the project proposal before the panel is delivered. You can verify the real I/O, the communication and the behavior of the entire technology on the corresponding hardware.

VIDEO: Tips and tricks for setting up HORNER PLCs with display, inputs and outputs

VIDEO: Tips and tricks for setting up HORNER PLCs with display, inputs and outputs

HORNER PLCs combine machine control, operator display and inputs/outputs in one device. If you need a compact solution for a smaller machine, part of a production line, a test station or modernization of older equipment, you do not have to source and combine a separate PLC, HMI panel and I/O modules.

The manufacturer’s training videos show how to connect the panel, work in Cscape, set up communication, use WebMI and work with basic inputs and outputs. They are especially useful during initial commissioning, so you do not have to figure everything out by trial and error.
