Use our broad portfolio of automation technology consisting of PLCs, functional PLC extensions, I/O systems, and software to ready your system for IIoT and Industry 4.0 with PLCnext Technology.
The open ecosystem enables the implementation of automation projects without the limits of proprietary systems. Integrate open-source code and apps, or network with PLCnext Control via cloud connections.
PLCnext Technology allows parallel programming based on established software tools.
These include Visual Studio, Eclipse, Matlab Simulink, and PLCnext Engineer, as well as the freely selectable integration of existing program code. This enables you, for example, to freely combine functions in accordance with IEC 61131-3 with routines from C/C++, C#, or MATLAB® Simulink®, and to merge these functions to create a complete system.
Phoenix Contact provides scalable PLCs with the IP20 degree of protection for this purpose.
From modular controllers for small applications, centrally managed high-performance controllers, and PC-based edge devices, this product family always provides a suitable solution for your project. The modular controllers give you a high degree of flexibility in the design of your stations.
Choose from a wide portfolio of I/Os or extend the functionality of the controller by adding function modules on the left side. You can also integrate new technologies such as OPC UA, TSN, and 5G with the open Linux core. PLCnext Control thus offers the highest level of future-proofing.
