CANVAS 5 is a small, compact industrial panel with a 4.3" colour touchscreen. It combines an easy-to-use interface for machine communication (HMI) and a HORNER programmable logic controller (PLC) with 12 analog and digital inputs and outputs in a single device. If the built-in I/Os are not sufficient for a specific application, they can be expanded via Ethernet, CAN or serial interfaces.
All HORNER Canvas panels offer improved and more powerful graphics, providing a modern look for process visualization and making them suitable for demanding applications. They allow data transmission to the cloud using MQTT. In addition, they are ready for deployment with the upcoming Horner OCS360 Cloud service.
The HORNER Canvas 5 is suitable for industrial applications that require higher performance, advanced visualization and a compact design.
