Set-up I/O stations with minimal training!
Make life easy for yourself when the need to configure an I/O station occurs, use Project + from Phoenix Contact. All it costs is a little time to download…Yes it’s a free download!
I think this is an invaluable tool for all Electrical Design Teams.
- Direct application: find the right products without any specific product knowledge
- Easy handling: by directly processing the automation task on the applicant’s/planner’s technical level
- Technically correct: by considering the systemic project planning rules
- Comfortable and quick: due to the automated setup of planned stations
Project+ creates a “correct” product configuration according to the system regulations, which fulfills the respective customer requirements and is ideal for Electrical Designers and Project Engineers.
Your Situation: The Electrical Design Team need to specify a system – this often requires comprehensive knowledge of specific project planning regulations, which has to be acquired and then implemented in every single application.
Project+ takes over these routine tasks :
• Selection of suitable device
• Application of system regulations
• Creation of technically correct I/O stations including cable options
• Preparation of article list, assembly plan and price information
Direct entry of the customer requirements:
• Which peripheral signals are to be connected?
• Which Fieldbus system is applied?
• Relates to the real setup – “What you see is what you get!”
• Can be used for documentation or as installation diagram
You can then export the configuration to:
• WORD
• EXCEL
• Phoenix Contact E-Shop
The software then creates a graphic depiction of the device configuration including:
• Inline main and segment circuits (UM and US)
• Fieldline system cables for bus and supply
• Technical configuration regulations are accounted for
• Shows particular accessories which are added for specific devices, e.g. memory card for Inline controller or plug-in connector for power-level terminals
