PLCnext Engineer
Speed up your application process
PLCnext Engineer is the engineering tool for your PLCnext project. By combining all the essential functions for the engineering process in one software package, the flexible engineering tool is more than an all-in-one tool for conventional programming.
- configuration
- programming according to IEC 61131-3
- Safety programming and configuration
- visualization
- diagnostics
With PLCnext Engineer you can easily configure your PROFINET networks, integrate high level language programs or MATLAB® Simulink® models and commission and manage them on a PLCnext Control.
Free download

Free choice of language and tools
PLCnext Engineer offers intuitive programming according to IEC 61131-3 and supports the following languages:
Structured Text
Ladder Diagram
Function Block Diagram
Sequential Function Chart
For graphical programming languages, you can choose between network-oriented or free graphical programming, and mix the different languages within program organization units.
Convenient configuration
PLCnext Engineer provides convenient handling when connecting high-level language programs and the standard automation. You can easily configure your PROFINET networks, run high-level language programs or MATLAB®/Simulink® models, and start up and manage these on a PLCnext Control. You can link all variables and interfaces via the data lists, for example, in order to directly connect physical inputs and outputs to high-level language code and to exchange data.
As a result, the startup and maintenance of highly complex systems without any IEC 61131-3 code is also greatly simplified with PLCnext Engineer.
