Horner Electric cannot assume responsibility or liability for actual use based on the examples and diagrams. It is the sole responsibility of the system designer utilizing the HE500OCS050 and HE500OCS051to appropriately design the end system, to appropriately integrate the HE500OCS050 and HE500OCS051and to make safety provisions for the end equipment as is usual and customary in industrial applications as defined in any codes or standards which apply.

Network inputs to the unit. The integrity of the data being sent to the unit is uncertain in the first 1-10 scans of the unit. These units are primarily designed for the simple, non-safety-related control and data acquisition. HE500OCS050/051 User Manual...
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 data conductors (CN_L and CN_H) should be a 24 AWG shielded twisted pair for “thin cable” and 22 AWG shielded twisted pair for “thick cable”, with 120 ohm characteristic impedance. Horner Electric recommends using a Belden wire #3084A (“thin”) for typical industrial environments and a #3082A (“thick”) for environments where noise is a concern.

Do not over-tighten. Replace the rear cover screws, which secure it to the OCS. Connect the communications and power cables to the OCS ports. Note: Drawing is not to scale. Figure 2.13 – Panel Cutout for HE500OCS050/051 HE500OCS050/051 User Manual...
These components can inductively couple electrical noise onto the communications wiring. Route Power Wiring Properly When using the OCS with 9-32VDC power, route the OCS power conductors away from noise inducing electrical components and wiring. HE500OCS050/051 User Manual...
When the unit is in DO/IO mode, the inputs are read, and outputs are written, but no ladder program operations are performed. When the serial port is in firmware update mode, the serial port is not available to connect to the ladder editor. In this case, the following character is displayed: HE500OCS050/051 User Manual...
PAGE 16 Operation When the OCS050 unit first powers-up, it displays "Horner Electric OCS: HE500OCS050". This message then fades and the first user screen will be displayed. After the OCS displays this message, the unit will perform tests to see the current state of the network.
