Phoenix Contact PC Worx RT BASIC software PLC

The PC Worx RT BASIC software PLC transforms any industrial PC into a control system - combining programming, visualisation and control in a single device.

The software PLC is programmed using the PC Worx automation software supporting all five IEC languages. By using the Valueline industrial PC equipped with Intel Core2Duo processor from Phoenix Contact, a high-performance control system can be configured with processing times of 0.7 µs for 1 Kb instructions.

When used separately, the two processor kernels for control and the Windows environment make it possible to configure a real-time control system. Existing programs written in a high-level language or other software and hardware running under Windows can still be used.

The software PLC reduces wiring costs, control cabinet sizes and the installation footprint in the plant or system.
