Cscape 9.90 turns Horner controllers into powerful fieldbus data aggregators by managing multiple field networks natively:
Cscape 9.90 streamlines industrial automation by integrating multiple functions into a single tool:
+-------------------------------------------------------------+ | CSCAPE 9.90 PLATFORM | +------------------------------+------------------------------+ | LOGIC ENGINE | HMI ENGINE | | - Drag-and-Drop Ladder | - Object Opacity & Rotation | | - IEC-61131 (ST, FBD, SFC) | - XY Data/Scatter Graphs | | - User-Defined Blocks (UDFB)| - Animated PNG/GIF Support | +------------------------------+------------------------------+ | SHARED TAG DATABASE | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | COMMUNICATIONS LAYER | | CANopen • Modbus • J1939 • MQTT Sparkplug | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ cscape 990
The platform continues to support micro-controllers like the XLT and XLte Gen 3 series. This ensures that facilities with mixed generations of machinery can use a uniform software baseline, lowering training costs and minimizing software fragmentation. Communication and IoT Capabilities
| Error Message | Likely Cause | Immediate Fix | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Wrong COM port or baud rate mismatch | Check DIP switches. Run Auto-Configure. Reboot PC. | | "Verify failed at address 0x..." | Bad flash memory or power fluctuation | Cycle 990 power. Send program again. Replace internal battery. | | "Screen object corrupt" | HMI font library mismatch | Delete the offending screen object. Rebuild screen from scratch. | | "%AI Overscale" | 4-20mA sensor open or shorted | Check field wiring. In Cscape, set input range to "0-20mA" as a test. | | "CANbus Offline" | Terminating resistor missing | Add 120-ohm resistor at ends of CAN chain. | Cscape 9
Includes integrated motion commands designed to regulate servo and stepper motors natively.
Escape 990 has had a significant impact on the puzzle gaming community: Run Auto-Configure
Added compatibility for the HE959ADC270 I/O module.
The long lifecycle of the Cscape 9.90 platform is marked by incremental Service Packs (SP), expanding protocol capabilities and hardware optimization. Cscape 9.90 SP14 - Horner Automation Group Europe
