THE REALITY

Phoenix is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.


PLCnext runs its own edge apps but the data stops at the controller, maintenance reacts to faults, ERP sees output late, and AI models never see live OPC-UA data across sites.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

SaaS-to-SaaS. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for Phoenix, Slack + a thousand other SaaS apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

  • ERP that needs live process values and run state from open controllers
  • Historian and data-warehouse targets that should hold every PLCnext tag at full rate
  • CMMS that should open a work order when a PLCnext fault or alarm fires
  • OEE and predictive-maintenance models needing live cycle, energy and reject data
  • Edge apps on the controller whose data still needs a governed path to the enterprise
What Rayven reaches

SCADA, historians, ERP, IoT + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

  • Phoenix + every SCADA, historian and ERP system
  • OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, PROFINET, S7 + custom-built connectors.
  • Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
  • Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
  • AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included
WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

Phoenix + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.


5 examples of what Rayven customers run on Phoenix + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.

Phoenix Contact PLCnext → Industrial AI Data Fabric

PLCnext data streams to the fabric

Rayven reads PLCnext Control data over the native OPC-UA server, MQTT and the REST API, then streams it into a real-time Industrial AI Data Fabric with historian and ERP context. No manual export, no SCADA layer required.

Phoenix Contact PLCnext (fault) → CMMS

Fault raises the work order

A PLCnext fault or alarm opens a work order in CMMS automatically, carrying the asset, line and live state so the technician arrives knowing the fault, not just that the controller stopped.

Phoenix Contact PLCnext → ERP

Process output posts to ERP

Counts, run state and process values read from PLCnext post to ERP in real-time, so planning and finance see live output rather than a late log.

PLCnext edge apps → PdM + OEE models

Edge-app data feeds analytics

Data produced by apps on the PLCnext runtime streams into OEE and predictive-maintenance models, so on-controller processing and enterprise analytics work from one contextualised view instead of two.

Rayven (supervised) → Phoenix Contact PLCnext setpoint

Supervised setpoint writeback, safely scoped

Where explicitly scoped, Rayven writes a non-safety setpoint back to PLCnext under supervision and full audit. It never reprograms the controller and never writes to safety logic; the control application stays untouched.

BEYOND INTEGRATION

Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.


Rayven isn't just a Phoenix connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once Phoenix is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.

01
 

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

Phoenix data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.
Learn more →

02
 

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to Phoenix and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real Phoenix records + numbers.
Learn more →

03
 

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on Phoenix data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →

04
 

Custom apps + portals

Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated Phoenix data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. Phoenix stays Phoenix. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for PLCnext OPC-UA and REST reads with on-controller edge-app data unified.

THE PLATFORM BEHIND IT

Rayven is a five-layer platform ALL your integrations + much more
can run on.


Integration is one layer of Rayven. Data, execution, presentation + governance are the other four - all delivered as one platform on one commercial.

WHY RAYVEN · NOT JUST ANY CONNECTOR

The integration is the easy bit.
The platform + team behind it is the difference.

99.9% platform uptime

Platform + team. One commercial.

Not five vendors stitched together. Rayven is the platform AND the Australia-based expert team that scopes, builds + supports it. One commercial. No licence stacking, no finger-pointing.

PLCNEXT LINUX-NATIVE

Built for the open PLCnext runtime.

Rayven reads PLCnext Control over the native OPC-UA server, MQTT and REST API for real-time sync, resolving structured tags to engineering-unit names and pulling straight from the Linux-based runtime. Reads and contextualises only, never a write to safety logic or the control application.

5/5 · 140+ REVIEWS

We stay after go-live.

No handoff. No disappearing. Rayven is a long-term partner when your Phoenix evolves, your stack changes, or you push further. 24/7 support. Same team, same platform, same commercial.

DEPLOY HOW YOU WANT

Hosted your way, where you need.

What is Phoenix Contact integration?

Phoenix Contact integration means reading process data off the open, Linux-based PLCnext controller and connecting it to ERP, CMMS and AI. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, not a one-off script.

Does Rayven reprogram or control our PLCnext controllers?

No. Rayven reads PLCnext data over OPC-UA, MQTT and REST and contextualises it. Supervised writeback is limited to explicitly-scoped non-safety setpoints and never touches safety logic or the control application. See security, governance + hosting.

Can Rayven read PLCnext data without SCADA?

Yes. Rayven reads PLCnext directly over the native OPC-UA server, MQTT or the REST API at the edge, so an open controller with no supervisory layer still reaches the enterprise. Where you run supervisory software, see SCADA integration. Read more in how Rayven works.

What systems can Rayven connect Phoenix Contact to?

Rayven connects PLCnext to 1,228+ systems including ERP, historians, CMMS and sibling controllers like WAGO and Beckhoff. Custom connectors are part of done-for-you delivery.

How long does Phoenix Contact integration take with Rayven?

Most Phoenix Contact integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single controller-to-historian or fault-to-work-order flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a multi-site fabric with OEE and predictive maintenance runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.

PLCnext is open and already exposes REST and OPC-UA. Why does Rayven add value on top?

PLCnext exposes data; it does not join it to ERP and maintenance, hold history at rate or run AI across sites. Rayven reads over OPC-UA, MQTT and REST together, unifies on-controller edge-app output and adds the analytics and agent layers on top. Read more in how Rayven works.

What are the technical specifics of Phoenix Contact integration with Rayven?

Rayven reads Phoenix Contact PLCnext Control over the native OPC-UA server, MQTT and the REST API, with PROFINET device data picked up on the fieldbus. Tags exposed through the OPC-UA information model or a REST endpoint, I/O and machine-state values are read at the edge and resolved to named engineering-unit tags, then mapped field by field into an Industrial AI Data Fabric alongside historian, CMMS and ERP data. Data produced by apps running on the Linux-based runtime is unified with enterprise analytics rather than stranded on the controller. Rayven reads and contextualises only; supervised writeback covers explicitly-scoped non-safety setpoints and never writes to safety logic or the control application. Authentication uses OPC-UA certificates and REST tokens, governed at the connector with full audit, deployed at the edge, on-premises or with sovereign hosting. Validated against PLCnext Control on AXC F series controllers.
