ABB and Phoenix Contact have signed an agreement for a long-term strategic cooperation to further develop and promote PROFINET and Ethernet technology.
This collaboration will help develop PROFINET as a global industrial standard across the complementary manufacturing areas of process and discrete automation. Already widely implemented in discrete manufacturing, PROFINET provides a flexible and cost-effective way to integrate intelligent devices as well as multiple fieldbuses; Phoenix Contact and ABB will work together to enhance PROFINET for use in the process industries. As part of this agreement, Phoenix Contact-subsidiary KW-Software will take responsibility for the technical integration of the PROFINET technology.
“This frame agreement is an important milestone for ABB. This collaboration with Phoenix Contact will help us to expand and enhance PROFINET for implementation in the process industries,” said Peter Wendt, chief R&D officer Control Products of ABB Automation GmbH. “This will help current and future customers integrate intelligent field devices more quickly, easily and inexpensively.”
