Phoenix Contact has ushered in a new era of automation with the idea of open control systems and partnership-based cooperation.
With its combination of innovation and sustainability, Phoenix Contact suddenly became famous a hundred years ago. Today, the company is still helping to shape the sustainable future with its open automation ecosystem PLCnext Technology and the realization of the all-electric society.
With its combination of innovation and sustainability, Phoenix Contact shot to fame a hundred years ago. Today, the company is still helping to shape the sustainable future with its open automation ecosystem PLCnext Technology and the realization of the all-electric society.
With the INTERBUS fieldbus system, Phoenix Contact created the basis for industrial networking back in 1987, enabling the cross-system open integration of components across manufacturer boundaries and industry standards.
If you like, this marked the birth of open ecosystems in which co-providers are no longer seen as competitors but as partners. Phoenix Contact took this idea of open control systems and partnership-based cooperation to the next level with its PLCnext technology, ushering in a new era of automation.
"25 years of Computer&Automation and 100 years of Phoenix Contact - a unifying journey through technology and innovation, where progress and sustainability go hand in hand to jointly shape a digitalized world full of possibilities"
The PLCnext Technology ecosystem consists of hardware, modular engineering software, a global community and a digital software marketplace. It enables new types of collaboration and accelerates application development to solve the challenges of a networked, digitalized and globalized world.
