With its modular programmable logic controllers, Phoenix Contact offers a large PLC portfolio to meet every requirement. The versatile I/O modules and special function modules can be easily mounted side by side on the controller, allowing you to design a tailor-made automation solution. Depending on the required performance and installation location, you can choose between the proven ILC controllers or the AXC range.

Almost all of the modular controllers are also available with extended temperature range. Simply look out for XC in the designation.

Your advantages

  • Maximum flexibility – special function and I/O modules can be mounted side by side depending on the application
  • Communicative, thanks to integrated, freely programmable web server and large variety of interfaces and protocols
  • Tailor-made performance – thanks to the large controller class portfolio
  • Durable, thanks to the solid housing and EMI-resistant electronics

Axiocontrol – fast, robust, easy

The controllers in the Axiocontrol range (AXC) are the ideal solution when it comes to high demands on performance and robustness. Together with the Axioline F I/O system from Phoenix Contact, Axiocontrol controllers offer maximum speed thanks to direct bus connection. 

  • Choose the AXC 1050 for small to medium-sized automation tasks and benefit from the Axioline F local bus, PROFINET, Modbus/TCP, and an integrated UPS, for example.
  • The AXC 3050 is the ideal controller for medium-sized to complex applications in which networking options as well as a particularly short processing and response speed are required.

Inline controllers – proven flexibility

Inline controllers (ILC) are the proven standard in Phoenix Contact's PLC portfolio. The controllers support all common communication paths, such as Ethernet or mobile phone. In addition, they can be easily extended with Inline I/O modules and offer an integrated web server. 

  • Class 100 Inline controllers are at the heart of the Easy Automation system. This means intuitive programming with free PC WORX EXPRESS software, flexible expansion with Inline I/O modules, and high function density at a fair price.
  • Class 300 Inline controllers meet high demands in terms of data throughput and networking. You can therefore reliably control medium-sized to large applications, such as those based on PROFINET.

ME versions – perfect for machine building

The ME versions of our ILC controllers have been specifically developed for the requirements of machine building. For example, for addressing drives via step motor drivers or frequency inverters.

The controllers offer all the functions of ILC class 100 and come with pre-installed functions for machine building.

This means that various drive types can be controlled and sensors can be connected without any additional external modules. Depending on the version, analog or incremental input channels can be used for position detection.

Easy Automation – automation with the modular class 100 controllers

Modular class 100 small-scale controllers are at the heart of the Easy Automation system from Phoenix Contact. As the interface between the control center and I/O level, they efficiently control the data flow within your system.

With class 100, easy automation includes: intuitive programming with free PC WORX EXPRESS software, flexible expansion with Inline I/O modules, and high function density at a fair price.
