Applying the principles from the New Product New document, Phoenix Contact has launched the Catan C1 building automation platform based on PLCnext Technology. The hardware and software solution is aimed at system integrators and planners to merge technical systems of various trades in new buildings as well as in the modernization of properties.遵循 New Product New 文档中的原则，Phoenix Contact 推出了基于 PLCnext Technology 的 Catan C1 楼宇自动化平台。该软硬件解决方案面向系统集成商和规划人员，用于在新建筑以及物业现代化改造中融合不同工种的技术系统。

Challenges of networked building automation
Increasing energy efficiency requirements, progressive digitalization, and strict regulatory guidelines, such as Section 14a EnWG and Section 9 EEG in Germany, demand highly flexible automation solutions in the building sector. Operators face the engineering task of centrally controlling previously isolated technical systems for lighting, shading, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and intelligent load management, without having to completely replace the existing network architecture.网络化楼宇自动化的挑战
日益提高的能源效率要求、持续推进的数字化以及严格的监管指南（例如德国 EnWG 第 14a 条和 EEG 第 9 条），要求建筑行业采用高度灵活的自动化解决方案。运营商面临的工程任务是，集中控制此前相互孤立的照明、遮阳、供暖、通风、空调（HVAC）和智能负荷管理等技术系统，而无需完全更换现有网络架构。

System architecture and PLCnext integration
To meet these spatial and technical requirements, the Catan C1 hardware is modular in design and constructed in a space-saving DIN rail-mounted format. This enables direct integration into standardized control cabinets. Expansion modules ensure needs-based physical scaling, ranging from simple single-room control to complex, cross-trade automation projects. At the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg, Phoenix Contact presented the integration of the PLCnext Engineer engineering environment for the Catan C1. As a result, the control platform interacts with the four core pillars of PLCnext Technology: Control, Engineer, Store, and Community. This allows users to implement automation applications using established industrial engineering tools in the building environment and to supplement the system landscape with software solutions from the PLCnext Store digital marketplace.系统架构与 PLCnext 集成
为满足这些空间和技术要求，Catan C1 硬件采用模块化设计，并以节省空间的 DIN 导轨安装形式制造，可直接集成到标准控制柜中。扩展模块可确保根据需求进行物理扩展，范围从简单的单房间控制到复杂的跨工种自动化项目。在纽伦堡 SPS 工业展览会上，Phoenix Contact 展示了 Catan C1 对 PLCnext Engineer 工程环境的集成。因此，该控制平台可与 PLCnext Technology 的四大核心支柱交互：Control、Engineer、Store 和 Community。这使用户能够在楼宇环境中使用成熟的工业工程工具实施自动化应用，并通过 PLCnext Store 数字市场中的软件解决方案补充系统格局。

Network protocols and cybersecurity
A central technical feature of the controller is the hardware-integrated KNX IP router. In combination with the software solution from system partner Symcon, the system integrates existing KNX topologies as well as other industrial and building-specific communication protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, and MQTT on a common data layer. To secure the system environment against unauthorized network access, the platform utilizes current encryption standards. Integrated security features such as Secure Boot, signed software, and TPM-protected (Trusted Platform Module) device identities ensure the integrity of the entire automation solution. The product family was also developed according to circular economy principles, is Cradle to Cradle Certified, and is designed for longevity and material transparency.网络协议与网络安全
该控制器的核心技术特性之一是硬件集成式 KNX IP 路由器。结合系统合作伙伴 Symcon 的软件解决方案，该系统可在统一数据层上集成现有 KNX 拓扑以及 BACnet、Modbus、MQTT 等其他工业和楼宇专用通信协议。为保护系统环境免遭未经授权的网络访问，该平台采用现行加密标准。Secure Boot、签名软件以及 TPM 保护（Trusted Platform Module）设备身份等集成安全功能，可确保整个自动化解决方案的完整性。该产品系列还按照循环经济原则开发，获得 Cradle to Cradle Certified 认证，并在设计上兼顾长使用寿命和材料透明度。

Steffen Mehnert, Head of Industry Management and Automation at Phoenix Contact, explains the technical approach: 'With Catan C1, we are providing an open control platform that combines building automation with the advantages of the PLCnext Ecosystem. The support for PLCnext Engineer expands the platform with familiar engineering tools from industrial automation and facilitates the implementation of applications in the building environment. Through simple integration into KNX environments and high flexibility for expansion, we create a future-proof foundation for energy-efficient and sustainable buildings.'Phoenix Contact 行业管理与自动化负责人 Steffen Mehnert 解释了该技术方案：“借助 Catan C1，我们提供了一个开放控制平台，将楼宇自动化与 PLCnext 生态系统的优势结合在一起。对 PLCnext Engineer 的支持以工业自动化中熟悉的工程工具扩展了该平台，并便于在楼宇环境中实施应用。通过简单集成到 KNX 环境以及高度的扩展灵活性，我们为节能且可持续的建筑打造了面向未来的基础。”

Additional context
This section details the technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original product announcement

In the market for open building automation controllers, the Phoenix Contact Catan C1 is positioned against established platforms such as the WAGO PFC200 and the Beckhoff CX series embedded PCs. While traditional building controllers are often limited to proprietary runtime environments or pure IEC 61131-3 programming, the Catan C1 differentiates itself through the underlying PLCnext operating system. This architecture enables the deterministic, parallel execution of classic PLC code and high-level languages such as C++ or C#, which is a major advantage when implementing compute-intensive IoT interfaces and complex energy management algorithms. Furthermore, the native integration of the KNX IP router directly into the base module eliminates the need for external gateway hardware, which measurably reduces the wiring effort and the space required on the DIN rail compared to systems with modularly arranged bus couplers.补充背景
本节详细说明原始产品公告中未包含的技术规格和竞争对标内容

在开放楼宇自动化控制器市场上，Phoenix Contact Catan C1 对标 WAGO PFC200 和 Beckhoff CX 系列嵌入式 PC 等成熟平台。传统楼宇控制器通常局限于专有运行时环境或纯 IEC 61131-3 编程，而 Catan C1 凭借底层 PLCnext 操作系统形成差异化。该架构支持确定性并行执行经典 PLC 代码以及 C++ 或 C# 等高级语言，这在实施计算密集型 IoT 接口和复杂能源管理算法时是一项重要优势。此外，KNX IP 路由器直接原生集成到基础模块中，无需外部网关硬件；与采用模块化排布总线耦合器的系统相比，这可明显减少接线工作量和 DIN 导轨所需空间。
