Phoenix Contact’s automatics & control portfolio offers an advanced, scalable automation platform designed for modern machine-building and control-cabinet environments. It spans programmable logic controllers (PLCs), I/O modules, industrial PCs, power supplies, relays and the associated accessory ecosystem. With open architecture supporting IEC 61131 programming, IIoT connectivity, edge computing and modular I/O, the range enables OEMs, system integrators and panel-builders to deploy future-proof automation infrastructures.
Phoenix Contact controllers—particularly the PLCnext Technology range—deliver next-generation automation by combining traditional PLC capabilities with open software, edge communication and cloud integration.
Key features:
For distributors, this product class addresses projects where control logic, data connectivity and scalability are required — from packaging machines, material handling to fully networked smart-factory cells.
In addition to core controllers and I/O, Phoenix Contact provides the automation supporting components: industrial power supplies, protective relays, signal relays, modules for monitoring, communication gateways and automation accessories. The automation ecosystem thus becomes a full platform rather than just a controller.
This enables wholesalers to bundle automation solutions: controllers + I/O + power & protection + wiring accessories — delivering complete control cabinet kits rather than piecemeal SKUs.
Control systems from Phoenix Contact cover diverse automation applications — from machine-level modular systems to infrastructure deployment (processing plants, utilities, building automation). Their product lines emphasise modularity, openness and longevity.
By delivering control systems and associated components, distributors can target higher-value project applications (machine OEMs, industrial integrators, infrastructure tenders) rather than simple component supply.
The Phoenix Contact automatics & control range can be structured into three key segments to help wholesalers align stocks and application messaging:
This segmentation assists distributors in tailoring inventory and marketing: foundational hardware (controllers/I/O), project-engineered systems (solution bundles) and installation/logistics accessories (power, relays, gateways).
Partnering with Bank of Lamps for Phoenix Contact automatics & control gives you:
By stocking the Phoenix Contact automatics & control range, wholesalers can supply complete automation platforms — not just single components — positioning themselves for specification-based projects and higher margin segments.
