Hits: 453

PLCnext Technology is going to be the number one topic on this year's SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg. Come and see the Phoenix Contact exhibition stand, where a new era of automation awaits you on an area of 200 square meters. PLCnext Control is the first controller to incorporate PLCnext Technology and the answer to many demands regarding production processes today and in future.

In the PLCnext forum you will learn about the advantages and applications the new generation of controllers has to offer. If you want to discuss specific tasks, you are invited to our workshop area. There we prepared some workstations, where you can work on different use cases with our experts, e.g. predictive maintenance and cloud, storing and retrieving of process data from the Redis database or interprocess communication via NATS message broker. Of course you can bring your own use case and give feedback on your first experiences with PLCnext Control.

Visit us in hall 9 in Nuremberg, from November 28 to 30, 2017, and consider automation from a new perspective.
