Horner Automation Group: Canvas CPU300 Modular All-in-One Machine Controller
Horner Automation has announced an advanced, all-in-one machine controller with the Canvas CPU300 Modular Controller. The CPU300 is a true all-in-one machine controller, with its single application program including functionality for Logic Control, I/O, HMI and Networking. The CPU300 is also truly modular, with the addition of snap-on OCS-I/O modules for sensor/actuator connection and HMI Connect touchscreen components for operator interface. HMI Connect touchscreens are available in a variety of sizes and IP ratings and require absolutely no setup or configuration. These touchscreens can be optimally located up to 15m from the Canvas CPU300, connected with a single, rugged cable carrying video, touch feedback and power. Multiple HMI Connect touchscreens (up to 3) can be connected to a single CPU300 through an optional accessory without any extra programming effort.
The Canvas CPU300 is programmed using Cscape 10 software, Horner Automation’s all-in-one FREE application development package. Every aspect of the machine control is handled by Cscape 10 – including logic, I/O, networking and screens. The resultant single program file is executed in the CPU300 – with the user interface distributed to HMI Connect over a single cable.
The Canvas CPU300 is perfect for applications that include central control of industrial machines (packaging, conveyor systems, robotics), real-time logic control, system monitoring, datalogging, and environments where different devices/systems need to communicate, such as food & beverage processing, energy management, agricultural machinery, and water/wastewater systems.
The Canvas CPU300, OCS-I/O modules, HMI Connect touchscreens and related accessories are available starting August 20, 2025.
They may be purchased through Horner’s worldwide sales channel, as well as the Horner Automation web store (USA only) on and after that date.
