Phoenix Contact Control System Retrofitting and Modernization Components

Phoenix Contact

The service life and availability of hardware is limited, especially for control systems. When it becomes difficult and expensive to obtain replacement parts or a more powerful system is required, you should consider retrofitting or modernizing your system.

Your advantages

  • Greater availability, thanks to short downtimes during the migration process
  • Error-free connection by retaining the existing field wiring
  • Reduced wiring effort, thanks to plug-in components
  • Reduced maintenance costs, thanks to ongoing technological development of the system
