PLCnext Technology connects the IT and OT worlds
PLCnext Technology is the ecosystem for industrial automation, consisting of
open hardware, modular engineering software, a global community, and a digital
software marketplace. This combination makes it easy to adapt to changing
demands and enables efficient utilization of existing and future software services,
swarm intelligence, and technologies.
The precisely tailored design of the open automation system is just as important
as flexible, modular expansion. In addition to standard PLC programming in
accordance with IEC 61131-3, parallel programming and the combination of
programming languages such as C/C++, C#, and Matlab® Simulink® in real time
is also possible with PLCnext Control. Accelerate your application development
process with the free basic version of PLCnext Engineer. Or use your familiar
programming environment – you decide!
With simple cloud integration, the option to use open source software, and the
ever-expanding expertise of the PLCnext Community, you will benefit from new
forms of collaboration. The resulting solution apps, software modules, runtime
systems, and function extensions are available in the PLCnext Store and save
an enormous amount of time and money when creating applications. Are you a
developer? Then publish an app yourself in the PLCnext Store and gain access to
a new, wide target group. This makes PLCnext Technology the ideal ecosystem for
your modern automation challenge.
