Warnings

1. To avoid the risk of electric shock or burns, always connect the safety

(or earth) ground before making any other connections.

2.  To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or physical injury, it is

strongly recommended to fuse the voltage measurement inputs. Be

sure to locate fuses as close to the source as possible.

3. Replace fuse with the same type and rating to provide protection

against risk of fire and shock hazards.

4. In the event of repeated failure, do NOT replace the fuse again as

repeated failure indicates a defective condition that will NOT clear by

replacing the fuse.

5. Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction

and operation of this equipment and the hazards involved should

install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and

understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety

before proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in

severe bodily injury or loss of life.

Ethernet Communications

A 10/100 Ethernet port with automatic MDI-X (crossover detection) is provided via the single 8-position

modular jack labeled “LAN”.

Several features are available for use over Ethernet, such as WebMI, Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP,

SMTP (E-mail), expansion I/O to SmartRail, and more.

Ethernet configuration is done via the Cscape Hardware Configuration.

For more information on Ethernet, available features and protocols, refer to the Ethernet Supplement

document (SUP0740).

microSD Slot A microSD card may be used for data and alarm logging, historic trending, program loading,

firmware updates, and many other features. Supported types of microSD cards are SD, SDHC,

and SDXC as long as the format of the card file system is FAT32.

RCC972   –   RCC Controller with eight (8) Digital inputs compatible with 12V/24VDC – four (4) DC

Outputs

– .5A per point – Eight (8) 12-bit Analog Inputs 0-20mA and four (4) 12-bit Analog outputs 0-20mA

8 digital DC inputs, 4 digital outputs, 8 Analog Inputs and 4 analog outputs,

providing users with superior I/O options for a wide range of Process and Discrete Manufacturing

applications

Provides superior connectivity – supporting both CAN and 10/100 Ethernet as standard

Inclusion of CAN provides the ability for the RCC to support hundreds of remote I/O points using

Horner’s CsCAN Digital & Analog Information

Digital Filtering module response to a temperature change.

The illustration above demonstrates the effect of digital filtering on (set with Filter Constant).

Analog Input – Raw input values for channels 1-4 are found in the registers as Integer-type data with a

range from 0 – 32000.

Analog inputs may be filtered digitally with the Filter Constant found in the Cscape Hardware

Configuration for Analog Inputs.

Valid filter values are 0 – 7 and act according to the following chart.

CAN Communications

The CAN port is provided via two connections: CAN_LOW (CL) and CAN_ HIGH (CH).

It may be used to communicated with the other OCS products using Horner’s CsCAN protocol.

Additionally, remote expansion I/O, such as SmartRail, SmartBlock, and SmartStix may be implemented

using the CsCAN protocol.

If CsCAN expansion I/O is to be used, a 24VDC power source will be required on the CsCAN bus in order

to power the expansion I/O modules.

Flexibility Meets Functionality

The RCC series is smart enough to perfectly complement our OCS family and ideal for

applications where a screenless controller is the best fit. RCC controllers also pair well

with the remote capabilities of the Horner webOCS line of products.

The RCC controllers are equipped with a range of digital and analogue inputs and

outputs – providing users with superior I/O options for both Discrete and Process

Applications.

Additionally, most RCCs contain RS-232 & RS-485. CAN and 10/100 Ethernet – which

provides you with serial connectivity, I/O expansion, Ethernet communications and

advanced functions such as e-mail and web serving.

Programming, Data Logging and Alerts

Use the RCC’s built-in serial and Ethernet ports for Cscape programming. Utilise

Horner’s user-friendly, ladder-logic based PLC software, our IEC 6-1131 options, and

application defined communications.

Data logging, application updates and advanced recipe handling are made easy via the

built-in removable microSD™ memory card. Log process based on individual events

or specific times; everything is completely customisable – create virtual black box

functionality for your machine.

Versatility Meets Precision – Horner webOCS

Register RCC controllers with Horner webOCS products to monitor and control plant

data from the palm of your hand. Published directly from the OCS Controller, the

webOCS line allows the same or unique web pages to be monitored and controlled from

your computer, tablet or other mobile device. Developed completely within our Cscape

environment, webOCS allows for state-of-the-art HTML5 development without the need

for web programming skills.

Provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), integrators, and automation

end-users with flexible, functional I/O and simple all-in one controller options without a built-in screen.
