IEC 61131 control perfor-
mance
The controller is consistently configured and programmed in accordance with IEC 61131
using the PC Worx automation software. The powerful processor can be programmed in all
five IEC 61131 programming languages and ensures quick control task processing.
IEC 61850 communication As of firmware version 3.00, the controller can be used as an IED (Intelligent Electronic De-
vice) for communication in accordance with IEC 61850. You can find information on config-
uration in the "IEC 61850 configuration of a Phoenix Contact IED" user manual. The user
manual can be downloaded at
phoenixcontact.net/products.
Integrated Ethernet inter-
faces
The controller features two Ethernet interfaces for TCP/IP/UDP/IP communication in the
Ethernet network.
Integrated communication functions enable direct and effective data exchange. Using the
IP_USEND and IP_URCV communication blocks, information, e.g., necessary coupling
variables, can be exchanged between controllers via Ethernet. This enables distributed,
modular automation solutions to be configured.
When using the AX OPC server provided in the AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite, con-
troller data is available in the Ethernet network in a standardized format and can be used in
visualization projects.
PROFINET controller/de-
vice functions
The PROFINET protocol can be used via the Ethernet interfaces of the controller. In this
case, the controller can be used as a PROFINET controller or PROFINET device, depend-
ing on the configuration. It cannot be used as a PROFINET controller and device concur-
rently.
Modbus functionality The Modbus TCP communication protocol can be used via the Ethernet interfaces of the
controller. The controller can be used as a Modbus/TCP client and/or as a Modbus/TCP
server (as of firmware version 3.00 and AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite 2017 Version
1.84). For additional information, please refer to the AH EN MODBUS TCP application
note.
