Applications and solutions

Chemical and pharmaceutical

• Cloud-based field monitoring
  

  With the HART gateway from Phoenix Contact, HART-compatible sensors are connected via branch line to ensure that the measured data can be read out easily in existing structures.

• Digital twin
  

  The digital plant twin allows you to optimize your maintenance activities by comparing the As Planned and As Built state of your field devices.

• Emergency shower monitoring
  

  Central monitoring with Phoenix Contact reduces the need for regular inspections and ensures that the emergency showers also function immediately after the last regular inspection.

• Field wiring with junction boxes
  

  Alongside an extensive portfolio of modular terminal blocks, Phoenix Contact is now also offering a range of stainless steel housing.

• Fieldbus communication via existing master cable
  

  Modern fieldbus communication uses free cores from existing conductors in master cable installation.

• Fieldbus installation – easy maintenance and extension
  

  When it comes to designing fieldbus installations in process engineering, availability plays a crucial role.

• Fill level monitoring
  

  With the solution from Phoenix Contact, you always have the fill levels, temperature, and pressure in view at all times.

• Leak monitoring
  

  Pipeline leaks can have serious consequences. Common causes are not just wear, but also unauthorized access.

• Pump and motor monitoring
  

  Phoenix Contact enables you to perform predictive maintenance on pumps and motors in order to increase system availability.

• Redundancy concepts for the auxiliary voltage supply
  

  A consistently redundant auxiliary voltage supply from the mains to the load ensures availability of process engineering systems.

• Tailored signal marshalling
  

  Reduce the size of the switch room with compact marshalling concepts for process engineering.

• Trace heating monitoring
  

  With the solutions from Phoenix Contact, you have a precise overview of the status of your medium at all times.

• Valve position monitoring
  

  Hand valves are used in large numbers in processing plants. Many existing systems have been operating successfully and effectively for years with hand valves.

• Well and inspection shaft monitoring
  

  In a widely distributed network of wells and inspection shafts, water levels, the quality of the groundwater, and also sabotage beyond the treatment plant, for example, are monitored regularly.

Oil and gas

• Downstream – Networks in process engineering
  

  In process engineering systems, the result depends on a continual control process.

• Downstream – Refineries
  

  System availability is the key factor when integrating fieldbus systems for automation in process control systems.

• Midstream – Pipelines and transport
  

  Digitalize your transport paths and communicate consistently from the pipeline sensor to the control room.

• Midstream – Tank farms
  

  With the modular control and I/O systems, remote control and remote maintenance technology as well as signal conditioners for the ex area, Phoenix Contact provides a broad basis for automation of all aspects of storage tanks.

• Offshore – Drilling platforms
  

  Drilling platforms combine maritime requirements with technological requirements for the ex area.

• Offshore – FPSO and platform supplier
  

  Efficient automation can be a decisive competitive factor for cost-intensive oil production with FSPOs.

• Upstream – Measuring points and local tanks
  

  It is necessary to continually monitor and control the quality and flow as well as check for leaks of the conveyed material while it is on its way from the production site for further processing or to the storage tanks.

• Upstream – Production sites
  

  Phoenix Contact provides robust monitoring and communication solutions from the production site to the pipeline right through to storage in local tanks.
