Cloud computing
Cloud computing encompasses an Internet-based IT infrastructure that enables the global networking of systems, plants, products, machines, and companies. Phoenix Contact provides simple and standardized Software-as-a-Service solutions on the Proficloud.io in the form of Smart Services that allow you to manage your devices intelligently, minimize downtimes, and increase availability thanks to cloud technology.
Edge computing
PLCnext Control for edge computing combines the robustness of proven industrial PCs with the open PLCnext Technology ecosystem, thus providing the ability to develop intelligent IoT edge solutions. By processing large volumes of data close to the source, the application can respond more quickly and flexibly. Benefit from preinstalled software and consistent graphical interfaces enabling the easy and comprehensive creation of IoT applications.
HMIs and IPCs
Operate and monitor your system states efficiently with our Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and industrial PCs (IPCs). Benefit from maximum scalability for the operating concept of your automation solution. Perform demanding control and networking tasks in a straightforward manner with our intelligent industrial PCs. At the same time, the sophisticated visualization software supports fast and safe intervention in machine processes.
Industrial communication
The aim of industrial communication is the reliable transmission of data from the field through to the control level. Consistent solutions with Industrial Ethernet, state-of-the-art wireless technologies, and cybersecurity increase the availability and security of the networked systems here. Network protocols and fieldbus systems such as PROFINET, OPC UA, PROFIBUS and INTERBUS ensure efficient communication.
PLCs (controllers) and I/Os
Find the appropriate PLCs (controllers) and I/Os with IP20 and IP65/IP67 degrees of protection, whether as a system or as a remote I/O station for a wide range of different Ethernet networks. Program in IEC 61131-3 or high-level languages, and ensure your system is secure for the future. For example, with PLCnext Technology you can already implement the latest trends like artificial intelligence or transform sustainable solutions in the solar industry into smart solutions.
Softwares
Software is the key to more efficient automation. Phoenix Contact provides automation software from configuration through to system operation. All products interact perfectly and feature innovative functions and intuitive, user-friendly operation.
