The PC Worx UA server from Phoenix Contact makes it possible to access all variables of PC Worx-programmable controllers via the standardized OPC UA (Unified Architecture) communications protocol.

The server is designed for high-volume processing: It can pass data from up to 200 controllers to a visualization or production control system. The mapping of variables takes place via the standardized PLCopen profile. Communication is performed using the binary protocol, which allows the OPC UA server to achieve high data transfer speeds. A certificate-based security concept protects against unauthorized access, manipulation, and operator errors. In addition to authentication of OPC UA clients using certificates, the server offers the optional ability to encrypt the data flow between client and server. Close attention was paid to detailed diagnostics. Using the supplied configurator, users can easily configure security settings and diagnose the current communication connections to the clients and controllers.

Phoenix Contact is introducing the atvise scada, AIP, and Acron software solutions to add visualization, alarm management, and data archiving functions to its portfolio. With the integration of this software into its own product line, Phoenix Contact takes another step toward becoming a supplier of complete solutions for process automation, for example, in infrastructure applications such as the water and wastewater industry.

The atvise scada visualization software allows users to implement even complex control and monitoring tasks without being restricted to a fixed location or device. The visualization data can be accessed from any standard browser. An editor for web professionals offers further possibilities for direct JavaScript programming.

The AIP (alarm information portal) alarm management software is the perfect solution for location-independent process monitoring. The software can be linked via standard interfaces such as OPC (Open Process Control) to control and visualization systems and reliably keeps service staff updated through media such as e-mail or text messages.

The Acron Plant Chronicler logs all plant and operating data in redundant databases when required. Using the log function, meaningful and customizable charts and documents can be periodically generated. Acron conveniently integrates with visualization systems and controls via standardized interfaces such as OPC UA (Unified Architecture).
