Easy planning of I/O stations

Version 3 of the Project+ planning software from Phoenix Contact is now available to download. I/O stations from the Axioline F and Inline product families can be configured using the software, without requiring extensive system knowledge.

The software offers the user a choice of possible connection scenarios based on the automation-related signal types that they have selected and those that correspond to the I/O devices they intend to connect. Based on this selection, Project+ determines the device combination for all required connection scenarios. The software optimizes the selection according to various aspects such as price, station width, and the number of devices. You do not need to be familiar with specific configuration rules.

Every time you enter or change the signal types, the software selects the appropriate I/O product for the I/O station. The result is shown directly in the main window of the software. Once the user has finished configuring their I/O station, they receive an I/O station that is technically correct along with the corresponding bill of material (including detailed product descriptions).

To mark the I/O station or configure a complete terminal strip, the configured result can be exported from Project+ and completed in the PROJECT complete planning and marking software from Phoenix Contact.
