PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 Inline PLC Controller

Overview

The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 is a compact Inline small-scale PLC controller for Phoenix Contact Inline I/O system. The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 supports IEC 61131-3 programming via PC Worx and PC Worx Express software, with dual Ethernet ports for PROFINET and Modbus/TCP communication. It integrates local digital input and output channels and can expand additional Inline I/O modules to build distributed automation control systems. The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 is widely stocked as spare replacement for packaging machinery, conveyor systems and skid automation cabinets.

Features

The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 provides 512 kB program memory and 512 kB data memory, plus 48 kB retentive memory for persistent parameter storage. It comes with two independent Ethernet TX ports that support daisy-chain network wiring without extra switches. The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 has 8 built-in digital inputs and 4 built-in digital outputs for direct field signal connection. It supports SD card option for program backup, firmware update and recipe storage. The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 adopts DIN rail mounting and follows the Inline bus backplane protocol for fast I/O expansion.

Specs

Device Type: Inline PLC controller Model: PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 Processor: Altera Nios II 64 MHz Memory: 512 kB program memory, 512 kB data memory, 48 kB retentive memory Onboard I/O: 8 digital inputs, 4 digital outputs Communication: 2 × Ethernet, PROFINET, Modbus/TCP Power Supply: 19.2 VDC to 30 VDC Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail mount Width: 80 mm Protection Grade: IP20 Application: Machine automation, material handling, skid control, small process automation

Principle

The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 executes cyclic control logic written in IEC 61131-3 languages. It reads signals from onboard channels and expanded Inline I/O modules, then generates output commands to drive actuators. The dual Ethernet ports exchange real-time data with HMI, master PLC and SCADA systems over PROFINET or Modbus/TCP. The controller continuously monitors bus status, supply voltage and module health. When communication loss or hardware fault is detected, the PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 executes predefined safe state logic and sends diagnostic alarms.

Applications

The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 is used for standalone machine control and small production line automation. It serves pump skid, packaging machine and conveyor control for factory automation systems. The PHOENIX CONTACT ILC171ETH2TX 2700975 applies to spare stock and field replacement of existing Phoenix Contact Inline control installations. It also supports retrofit and upgrade projects for legacy small PLC control cabinets.
