Limitless automation with PLCnext Control
02 January 2018
PLCnext Control is Phoenix Contact's first open control platform product based on PLCnext Technology.
The controller combines the robustness and security of a classic PLC with the openness and flexibility of the world of smart devices. With PLCnext Technology, Phoenix Contact is responding to the challenges of the world of IIoT and simplifying existing controller solutions. Automation projects can now be implemented without the limitations of proprietary systems.
As an enhancement to classical IEC 61131-compliant PLC programming, PLCnext Technology makes it possible to programme controllers using high-level language ensuring PLC-typical real-time performance and data consistency for high-level languages and model-based code as well. Multiple developers can work independently in different programming languages and with the development tools they prefer. The result is significantly faster application development. Open source software and apps can also be incorporated into the system in a flexible way.
The new controller is adaptable and open to the application of future technologies. The expanded connectivity provided by open interfaces and a direct cloud connection give you more freedom of choice. In addition to its open design, PLCnext Control's high-performance CPU and large mass storage in a small housing make it a convincing alternative. This solution allows you to rethink automation as limits disappear and new possibilities for industrial automation come into view.
