Phoenix Contact is extending its portfolio for HMI and industrial computers. The compact panel PCs in the VL3 PPCS product family bridge the gap between the TP 6000 and WP 6000 HMI devices and the industrial computers in the VL3 box and panel PC series.

The box PCs from Phoenix Contact are suitable for a wide range of automation tasks – from simple data acquisition to complex IoT and edge applications. With the VL3 UPC series, particularly compact devices are now available for demanding edge computing installations in distributed control cabinets.

With the PLCnext Technology open ecosystem and the EPC 1502 and EPC 1522 edge devices from Phoenix Contact, users benefit from full flexibility when it comes to local data evaluation in greenfield and brownfield plants.
