Your gateway to industrial automation advancements at PLCnext Store

Not too long ago, it was fairly difficult for engineers to find the right tools or apps or protocols to realize their desired automation projects. When looking for just the right solution to make a specific IT/OT convergence work for example, they often had to browse through numerous techie-expert-forums. Or what’s even more time consuming: create their own code to achieve whatever automation goal they wanted to achieve.

Luckily these times belong to the past. With the PLCnext Store Phoenix Contact offers a comprehensive collection of applications for merely all areas for industrial automation of any kind.
