PROFINET IO system components

Factoryline makes Ethernet suitable for industrial applications.The MMS, MCS and SMCS switch ranges are an integral part of the PROFINET IO network.Bluetooth and WLAN components enable cyclical wireless communication as well.

In AUTOMATIONWORX, scalable planning of automation solutions means simple project planning and programming with one software tool PC WORX as well as control components (ILC) integrated in the Inline installation system for setting up distributed control solutions with INTERBUS, Ethernet and PROFINET IO.

The I/O systems in AUTOMATIONWORX adapt to meet your requirements and reduce the expenditure due to innovative installation systems.In the control cabinet or in the field, they support all standard sensor and actuator signals through to power linking.Communication via PROFINET IO is available for every I/O system.

The PROFINET IO proxies combine the advantages of the fieldbus system with the world of PROFINET.Thanks to transparent access to the data and the uniform diagnostics, existing installations or solutions planned on the basis of fieldbus can be easily integrated into the entire solution, thus safeguarding the investments you have already made in hardware or engineering.

PC Worx is the common automation software for all PC-based and Embedded-Controllers from Phoenix Contact. The Version 5.0 presents a new generation of PC Worx and for the first time besides Interbus, supports PROFINET-I/O as field bus system on Ethernet.

The PROFINET starter kit provides a quick way of gaining first experience with PROFINET. All components are integrated - from a controller through to switches and I/O devices. A user manual guides you quickly to the first up and running PC Worx project with a lower-level PROFINET network.
