WAGO Ethernet TCP/IP Programmable Fieldbus Controller Offers Higher Performance, Faster Communications

Germantown, WI, March 2003 WAGO announces the latest addition to the WAGO Controller Product Line - the Ethernet TCP/IP Programmable Fieldbus Controller (PFC), part number 750-841. The new 750-841 features 100Mbits/s Ethernet, IEC-61131-3 and the latest open architecture software interfaces and protocols. The 750-841 comes standard with a 32 bit RISC processor, 512 KB program memory, 128 KB data memory and 24 KB retentive memory. Programs are stored in flash memory to ensure system integrity on recovery from power failure and eliminate the need for periodic battery replacement. In addition, this new WAGO Ethernet TCP/IP features a real time clock.

In addition to being a superior industrial controller, the 750-841 supports the functions required to meets the demands of linking factory floor processes to enterprise information systems. This is accomplished since the 750-841 has functions that support HTTP, XML, SOAP, DHCP, DNS, FTP, SNMP and SMTP. HTML pages can be placed on an internal server for use in Web-based applications.

Capabilities include emailing information directly from the PFC, serving up WEB pages, and generating remote procedure calls using SOAP. Building on industry standards the 750-841 can interface to virtually any enterprise information architecture including Microsoft .NET, UNIX, and LINUX-based systems.

The 750-841 is part of a new breed of controllers that meets the needs of modern manufacturing and process control by providing a high performance, distributed controller with interfaces to enterprise business systems, explains Bill Lydon, Advanced Electronics Product Manager at WAGO. This product makes implementation of open architecture, distributed control and information systems easy to accomplish.

In addition to industrial sensor inputs and outputs the 750-841 support a wide range of devices including bar code readers, RFIDs, HMIs, encoders, bar code printers, message displays, light boards, drive interfaces and can subnet serial protocols.

WAGO provides a complete software suite that includes program editor, simulator, online debugger and basic HMI software for a one-time site license under $1,000. As new features are added to the controller the software libraries may be downloaded from the WAGO WEB site at no charge.
