RFC 470 PN 3TX - powerful compact control system for highest requirements

Whenever an application makes high requirements of the control system performance, the Remote Field Controllers (RFC) from Phoenix Contact prove to be the best solution because they combine maximum power, all relevant interfaces and easy operation - all in one device. Numerous projects in various industrial fields prove this effectively. Examples are the control system of the wind power plants as well as complete assembly works in the automobile field. The new RFC 470 PN 3TX completes the control system portfolio in the higher performance range.

The new Remote Field Controller RFC 470 PN 3TX - high performance density and variety in communication in compact housings.

The DIN rail-mountable compact control system provides up to five direct inputs and three direct outputs and has been designed for universal applications in machines and systems. Due to its processing speed of 0.005 ms for 1 K instructions, it managed the most comprehensive tasks quickly and reliably. Like all other control systems from Phoenix Contact, the RFC 470 PN 3TX has been programmed and parameterized with the IEC 61131-based PC Worx software. Since even large data quantities can be stored in a pluggable parameterization memory, the control system can be replaced with any other device easily and without losing data (faulty replacement). Status messages of the control system and fieldbus system are easily displayed on the RFC 470 PN 3TX via a fully graphic 3.5" TFT diagnostics display.


In addition to the actual programming environment, the PC Worx automation software also provides advanced functions such as network configuration and diagnostics.

As part of the Automationworx system based on the concept of IT-powered automation, RFC 470 PN 3TX provides open, internationally standardized automation and IT interfaces for communication. In addition to an Interbus-Master and a Profinet-IO-Controller interface, three 10/100 Mbit Ethernet interfaces ensure easy integration of the control system into the respective network as well as the uniform and quick data transmission from the field to the control level and Internet. Productivity of machines and systems can thus be increased significantly.
