PLCnext Control

PLCnext Control are the hardware of PLCnext Technology and offer an open Linux environment with access to more data via IoT systems and more flexibility. In addition to standards such as IEC 61131, parallel programming and the combination of programming languages such as C/C++, C# or MATLAB® Simulink® are also possible in real time with PLCnext Control.

There are three different categories of PLCnext Control: Flexible modular controller, high-performance remote field controller, and iPC-based controller.
