Introducing the CANVAS series
The short video Horner introduces the CANVAS series, its operation and basic equipment. It shows more models of the series. English.
Applications in small machines and systems
Pump switching according to time or event
Starting at a specified time, running for a set time or reacting to a level and other input signal. The operator sets the values and sees the pump status on the display.
Controlling a small machine or fixture
Starting the work cycle, continuity of individual steps and counting of pieces. The operator changes the length of the step or the number of repetitions on the panel.
Measurement and simple regulation
Display of pressure, temperature or other quantity and reaction to the set limit. The sensor type and signal range must match the selected panel inputs.
Local equipment monitoring
Input states, error messages and common settings on one display. You can prepare the range of screens and controls according to the specific device.
You create a function for your technology in Cscape. Select the necessary sensors and control elements according to the device.

Selection of variant CANVAS 5
You are ordering HE-CV-043C-01 on this page. It has a fixed combination of 4 digital inputs, 4 transistor outputs and 4 analog inputs. If you need relay or analog outputs or a different number of signals, we will help you choose an extension or another panel.
HE-CV-043C-014 digital inputs, 4 transistor outputs and 4 analog inputs 0-10 V, 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA.
For jobs with fewer signals and a color touch screen requirement. It has no built-in relay or analog outputs.
We will advise you on the selection of a suitable design and accessories according to the project.
Signal types and wiring limitations
Built-in analog inputs support 0-10 V, 0-20 mA and 4-20 mA; direct measurement of Pt100 and thermocouples is not their function. Set the current or voltage mode according to the connection and configuration. High-speed counters use the same four digital inputs. Transistor outputs are limited to 0,5 A per channel and 2 A in total; control the power load via the corresponding power element. CANVAS 5 does not have built-in analog or relay outputs.

First project in Cscape
Download Cscape from Horner. You need a manufacturer account to download Cscape. The CANVAS tutorial shows PC connection, hardware configuration, control logic and creating the first screen.
Your first test task
When first verifying, start with one simple function. For example, an output that switches on for a set time after pressing a button or changing the input signal.
- Set the switching time on the display and show the input and output status.
- Handle the trigger condition and timer in the program.
- On the test load, verify switching on, switching off after a time has elapsed and changing the settings on the display.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need separate PLC or HMI?
CANVAS 5 contains PLC, color touch screen and 12 built-in I/O. You don't need separate PLC and HMI for the same simple task. In case of a larger number or other type of signals, the corresponding I/O will be added.
What is free and what is charged separately?
Standard Cscape is free with each panel. You can create the PLC program and the HMI screens without a paid programming license. Additional features have their own license terms. Free loan of selected products for 14 days is arranged individually according to availability. We will confirm the specific model, date and conditions in advance. Accessories, training and the work of technicians will be priced according to the scope.
How to decide between X4 and CANVAS 5?
Compare the necessary signals, screens and communications. The CANVAS 5 has 4 digital inputs, 4 transistor outputs, 4 voltage/current analog inputs, and CANVAS graphics. The same display size in itself does not mean the same equipment. Send a list of signals and we will select a suitable model.
Do I connect Pt100 directly or do I need an analog output?
The built-in analog channels are voltage/current inputs only. For direct measurement of Pt100, thermocouple or for analog output, we select a suitable extension or other panel.
How can I check trial loan availability?
Click Arrange a trial loan and describe your application. We will check a suitable loan model, availability, dates and conditions. Trial loans of selected products are arranged individually.

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.
