New XL6 - 5.7" TFT Colour Touch Screen

The XL6 Touch Screen controller is Horner`s newest addition to the XL Series of Operator Control Stations. XL6 incorporates a 5.7” TFT (thin film transistor) liquid crystal display capable of displaying a palette of 32k colours. The result is a photo quality interface that can display elaborately detailed objects and imagery.

The XL6 is the first OCS to include a USB programming port that allows you to program the unit directly using a standard USB interface cable, eliminating the need for a USB to serial cable adapter connection.

The XL6 offers fast graphics updates and a logic scan rate of 0.2mS/k, resulting in superior overall performance for larger applications.

Just like the XLe and XLt, the XL6 comes with color-coded input and output connectors for fast, easy wiring in the field. Plus, the XL6 also incorporates a newly designed battery compartment on the back that allows you to quickly change-out the memory back-up battery. Two battery connectors are included so you can install a new battery first, then remove the old one.

The XL6 features both MicroSD™ and USB (A) connectors for data. MicroSD™ supports up to 2GB of local storage, while the USB port will soon support portable file transfer to/from the XL6.
