Product Overview
The Printer Control Unit (PCU100)...
Is a low cost solution that allows you to collect, store and track data (up to 25 hours) and
print data Trend Reports without costly HMI units or chart recorders.
Comes conveniently pre-programmed to record and print four standard types of data trend
measurements that are commonly used in business and industry: Pressure, Flow Rate,
Temperature and Level trends.
Allows fast, easy creation of OCS interface using pre-programmed controls.
Connects to any Hewlett-Packard printer with IEEE 1284 parallel port and that uses PCL3
such as HP Deskjet 5650.
Provides customized reports such as alarm or industry-specific reports - available for additional
cost by contacting Horner Sales staff.
An example of a data trend report is on the last page of this document.
