Easy programming with innovative software

In addition to numerous hardware components, Phoenix Contact also offers various software products for the Easy Automation compact controller system.

All tools are perfectly tailored to the cost-effective, easy automation solution. Our software products support you from the planning phase through to the operation of your desired solution.

PC Worx Express


PC Worx Express is the free and intuitive programming environment for all class 100 controllers.

The software programming interface is easier than that of the full version of PC Worx. Programming in compliance with IEC 61131-3 makes the bus configuration, I/O assignment, and diagnostics easy.

Function blocks for functional and industry-specific requirements


Many areas of application and sectors require specific communication mechanisms or special functions, for example, for controlling temperature or a mechanical system.

For this reason, Phoenix Contact licenses numerous function and communication blocks, which simplify creation of an automation solution with special functions.




Driver function blocks for integrating I/O modules


In addition to non-complex I/O modules, a large number of specialized I/O modules can also be connected to all class 100 controllers.

Free driver function blocks are available for easily integrating even these more complex modules into PLC programs.




Project+ - Plan your automation intuitively and for free


Project+ for configuring I/O stations
Project+ helps you to configure I/O stations
Have you ever had to determine the material requirements for an automation task and select the materials cost-effectively when configuring a new application? Our Project+ software now automates this task for you.

Simply define your functional requirements and quantity needed, and list the planned sensor signals and actuator signals. Project+ then independently determines all relevant devices for your automation solution.

In addition to I/O modules for the control cabinet, the software also provides you with devices for process-oriented applications and controllers. While following the systematic configuration rules, Project+ combines all products to create a technically accurate station structure and thereby selects the most cost-effective solution for you.

In addition, all system products and infrastructure components required to implement your solution are automatically added.




WebVisit - System visualization based on web technologies


WebVisit is an engineering tool for cost-effectively creating your own system visualization based on web technologies. The software is intuitive to use and is therefore ideally suited for visualizing automation solutions based on the Easy Automation compact controller system.

Even the basic version of WebVisit offers an extensive scope of functions and a functionally enhanced user interface. For more demanding requirements, the Pro version is available, which additionally features functions such as alarm lists, trends, and user management.

Resy+ - software for designing modern remote control technology


Remote control with Resy+ software
Resy+ allows you to even keep an eye on remote stations
Resy+ enables you to enhance our standard controllers to create a remote control station. Moreover, remote system parts can be connected and integrated into your higher-level control system with ease.

Parameterize the remote control communication independently in the PC Worx programming environment or start up the remote control station with just a few clicks of the mouse using a wizard.

Resy+ offers various interfaces, such as IEC 60870-5-101/104, ODP, and Modbus RTU/TCP.




ODP - A solution for cost-effective remote control via GPRS


ODP (Open Data Port) enables open communication with Phoenix Contact PLCs via the GPRS mobile phone service. Data can either be transmitted online or as historical values with a time stamp.

The remote control substations are equipped with a GPRS modem from Phoenix Contact. The authorized data can then be provided up to the OPC level through a DSL connection.

Depending on the hardware configuration, the PLCs can also be parameterized from the control station.
