Decentralized control has Ethernet interface

Inline controller combines the advantages of a compact control system at the I/O level with those of an Ethernet network and can be programmed and parameterized with PC Worx automation software.
The ILC 350 ETH Inline controller from Phoenix Contact combines the advantages of a compact control system at the I/O level with those of an Ethernet network. Using the integrated Ethernet interface, it can be programmed and parameterized with the PC Worx automation software in accordance with IEC 61131, can exchange data with OPC servers and communicate between control systems. A high-performance processor provides a wide range of applications for complex control and regulating tasks and as a component of the Inline automation system, the controller can be adapted for specific requirements.

The Inline Controller family of system devices represents a modern, highly modular compact control system and with the PC Worx automation software being available via Ethernet or a RS 232 local interface it enables universal configuration and programming.

Phoenix Contact is one of the world leaders in developing and manufacturing connectivity solutions and automation components.

Its principal product ranges include: printed circuit board connectors; modular terminal blocks; fieldbus components; surge voltage protection systems; industrial plug and socket connectors and interface units.
