The PFC200 Controller is a compact PLC for the modular WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM. Besides network and fieldbus interfaces, the controller supports all digital, analog and specialty modules found within the 750/753 Series.

Two ETHERNET interfaces and two SFP ports offer a wide variety of network connections and topologies. An integrated Webserver provides user configuration options, while displaying PFC200 status information.

In addition to the processing industry and building automation, typical applications for the PFC200 include standard machinery and equipment control (e.g., packaging, bottling and manufacturing systems, as well as textile, metal and wood processing machines).

Advantages:

  •    –   Programming per IEC 61131-3
  •    –   Programmable via WAGO-I/O-PRO V2.3 or e!COCKPIT
  •    –   Direct connection of WAGO I/O modules
  •    –   2 x ETHERNET, 2 x SFP ports
  •    –   Linux operating system with RT‐Preempt patch
  •    –   Configuration via CODESYS, e!COCKPIT or Web-Based Management user interface
  •    –   Maintenance-free

The device is ideal for operation in extreme environments thanks to:

  •    –   Extended temperature range
  •    –   Greater immunity to impulse voltages and electromagnetic interference
  •    –   Higher vibration and shock resistance

A New Dimension In Decentralised Drive Technology

At SPS 2019, Wieland Electric will present the prototype of a new motor starter that adds a new dimension to decentralized automation in terms of size, safety functions and handling. The podisMS 5HP not only presents itself as the smallest decentralized motor starter in its power range, but also as the first decentralized motor starter with IP65 protection and integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) safety function. The drive solution, which can be parameterized without software, is also characterized by simple handling during commissioning, operation and maintenance and features a sophisticated thermal design which, together with electronic low-wear switching, contributes to a long service life – even with frequent switching cycles.
