Phoenix Contact: Plcnext Technology – Hardware Range Extended With a High-Performance Controller

April 27, 2020

With the new PLCnext Control AXC F 3152 controller, Phoenix Contact now provides a high-performance Axioline controller based on the open PLCnext Technology ecosystem.

The new controller is suitable for realizing demanding applications without safety requirements.

The highly modular controller features three separate Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, of which two are also TSN-ready. With the separate interfaces for the PROFINET controller functions and device functions, large PROFINET networks are particularly easy to segment. Moreover, a connection to the Proficloud enables simple networking of the system beyond local boundaries.

As with all PLCnext Control devices, the controller makes high-level language programming possible in addition to classic PLC programming in accordance with IEC 61131. PLC-typical real-time performance and data consistency are therefore also guaranteed for high-level languages and model-based code.

Pilz: Security on Board Automated Guided Vehicle Systems

Freely navigating automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) in production halls communicate with their control station wirelessly. That means they are susceptible to attacks or tampering from outside. Map data can be queried; in the worst case, the AGVS and therefore production can even be halted. In order to protect human and machine, and therefore also industrial security, Pilz has a complete solution for automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS).
