Horner XL4 PLC Report Generator

We will now look at the Horner report generator. The Horner APG XL4 all in one controller has a feature to generate text reports. These reports can consist of text and data from memory locations in the controller. Reports can be printed using a serial interface printer through any of the serial ports of the unit or can be saved on the removable micro SD media card attached to the device. We will be taking our process mixing tank and generating a report that will show when the batch started, filled the tank and when the batch was finished emptying. This report will be saved on the removable micro SD media card attached to the unit. This series on the Horner XL4 all-in-one controller (PLC) will go step by step through learning how to use this innovative unit. More information can be obtained at our website.
