INTERBUS OPEN CONTROL is the new, open and continuous automation solution from PHOENIX CONTACT consisting of:

• control hardware,
• automation software,
• INTERBUS peripheral components,
• configuration tools,
• service, support and training.

Over the past 10 years, INTERBUS has established itself as the international no. 1 for serial field networking. With INTERBUS OPEN CONTROL, the bus has now become the backbone of automation solutions.

In the context of INTERBUS OPEN CONTROL, openness means that the hardware and software components of many hundreds of manufacturers are integrated into one overall solution. Through its open and neutral interfaces, INTERBUS affords access to the PLCs of all leading manufacturers and, at the same time, simplifies the transition to tomorrow's PC-based control solutions.

INTERBUS OPEN CONTROL is the alternative to proprietary, self-contained solutions which still play a dominant role today.
