PCWorx Engineer software for the Phoenix Contact 2152 starterkit

Before you can really get started with the PLCnext starter kit or even just the AXC F 2152, there are a few things that need to be initialized, installed or updated.

In this post, I will demonstrate installing and licensing the PCWorx engineer software needed to program the 2152 within the IEC61131-3 environment

I am told by Phoenix Contact that this may not be needed soon as the software will become available without the need for licensing and will be free. (Special modules may still be at a cost)

I would like to thank RS-Components and Phoenix Contact for providing me with this starter kit for review at no cost.

The Starter kit was provided to me free of charge for review but no other fees or payments have been exchanged

With a background in Industrial Electronics, Solutions Architecture and programming, I now spend my time working on my YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/thebreadboardca ) where I create educational videos showing how to use various devices including Test and measurement, Home and industrial Automation, Components and other fun things I am sent to review or include in projects. I will also create many projects to showcase the use of these items
