Future-proof industrial networks from the smart factory to the smart city

IoT security, network availability, and network performance

We offer individual network infrastructure solutions and cyber security concepts for the latest industry 4.0 security standards. With our mGuard security appliances, network accesses and data communication can be easily controlled and regulated via firewall rules. Furthermore, they provide a standard remote maintenance concept for secure system access. Increased network availability can also be enabled through network segmentation with our Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches.

Central device configuration and device management

Programs for central device management and configuration have become the standard within office IT. With our Network Manager, we are providing you with a central device management system for our industrial switches, routers, wireless modules and cyber security appliances. Thus, you will always have an overview of the most important information, e.g. network components and their accessibility, firmware versions and configuration files.

Training and support

Along with the appropriate hardware, we also provide you with a wide range of services. From consultation to designing your network infrastructure through to on-site startup, we support you in the implementation of a highly available and secure IoT network. In the event of an error, we will assist you on site or via telephone for network infrastructure maintenance. We also offer training sessions on the safe handling of our products and security awareness to make digital transformation easier for you.

Network infrastructure from a single source

No matter whether you want to equip your machine with a classic fieldbus or with modern Ethernet technology, you will find the appropriate products at Phoenix Contact: from cables to switches, from remote maintenance to cyber security.  

We will be happy to support you in selecting the appropriate network infrastructure with our selection guides or with a personal consultation.

Time-saving network setup and maintenance

Time is a valuable resource. Therefore, we offer products that can be assembled and configured particularly quickly and easily. In the event of an error, Managed Switches provide special functions for fast error diagnostics and easy device replacement. Furthermore, you always have an overview of your network with the Network Manager software.

Secure remote maintenance for your machine

Your customers are distributed throughout the world and must be supported efficiently. Our mGuard remote maintenance components enable you to implement a standard remote maintenance concept via VPN that your customers can control themselves. Depending on requirements, your customers can also use these components as a router, firewall, or for network segmentation.

Stable system networks

A highly available cyber physical system requires a reliable and available network. Our products enable precise network analysis and diagnostics for proactive maintenance. Our security appliances enable you to secure your industrial network against unauthorized access. You can also integrate machines with identical IP address ranges into your system with ease using NAT switches, without having to change the IP addresses.

Secure remote maintenance for your system network

The mGuard products enable you to implement a standard remote maintenance concept for all machines in your system. Remote maintenance can, for example, be regulated via a key switch, such that you can determine yourself when machines are accessed. In addition, the mGuard products provide firewall and filter functions that are able to restrict access and data flow to the machine. You thus protect the system from viruses and inadvertent changes.

Consultation and training

We provide you with professional support during the planning, start-up, and maintenance of your system network. We offer your employees training in security awareness and how to use our products correctly. With our many years of experience in automation technology, we know your challenges and can simultaneously advise you on the latest Industry 4.0 standards and technologies.
