PC WorX 3.1: New version of the all-in-one programming language


PC WorX is the automation software from Phoenix Contact which combines programming in accordance with IEC 61131, fieldbus configuration and plant diagnostics in a single software.



PC WorX 3.1 now offers various new functions:


  • All program organization units (POEs) can be exported in all supported programming languages; so that projects can be tailored for further use.
