Product range
The information in this Info Center is about the PLCnext Runtime System, which is the firmware on PLCnext Control devices. In addition, use cases with related hardware and software are described if useful in the course of a documented feature.
Each PLCnext Control comes with its own hardware documentation, which can be a data sheet containing the commissioning of the controller, or a user manual. For more details, see Hardware documentation.
The engineering tool for PLCnext Control devices, PLCnext Engineer, comes with its own documentation in the form of an embedded help.
