Open and innovative – PLCnext Control

PLCnext Control devices are the first PLCs for the open PLCnext Technology automation platform. They enable the implementation of automation projects without the limitations of proprietary systems. Connect directly to Proficloud and integrate tailored cloud services and future technologies.

PLCnext Technology enables 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 to create a complete system.

I/O systems for the field (IP65/IP67)

I/O devices that support modular extension and have a high degree of functionality can be used in the field, or particularly robust devices with a block design can be used for harsh industrial environments.

Phoenix Contact’s IO-Link/analog converters and IO-Link masters also provide a high degree of flexibility in the field and can be used to implement analog communication without any shielded cables.

Controller for building automation

You can use the ILC 2050 BI building IoT controller to quickly and efficiently automate all subsections in building infrastructure, data centers, and decentral properties. The controller is the platform of the IoT-capable automation system from Phoenix Contact that enables the technical management of buildings and properties.

The device features a variety of interfaces, and therefore supports all relevant and current building automation protocols. The data types of the various protocols are standardized, therefore enabling IoT-based automation.

Programmable small-scale controller

Implement small automation tasks using the PLC logic relay system. This combines the advantages of plug-in relays with logic functions and intuitive software.

Technologies such as Push-in, Bluetooth, and a specially developed PLC logic app simplify integration, monitoring, and operation.
