GE Fanuc is pleased to introduce the newest member of the Operator Control Station family, the OCS250.  The OCS250 (Operator Control Station) combines a powerful logic controller, operator interface, network and I/O in a tightly integrated package. The OCS250 reduces installation cost, development time and hardware with its simplistic design.

The OCS250 is programmed with the Windows® based Cscape™ software package. Cscape combines ladder logic programming along with the graphical operator interface development system. This combination reduces development time and increases productivity.

The OCS250 will accommodate up to 4 SmartStack™ modules. There are over 35 different types of SmartStack I/O modules to select from. The display is an adjustable-backlit LCD that supports Windows® True-Type Fonts and up to 240 x 128 pixel graphics.
