PLC Control with PC Features
The WAGO-I/O-IPC Series 758
Today’s engineers face many decisions regarding their control strategy of today and for tomorrow. One of the biggest challenges is the ongoing battle of PC based vs. PLC based control. Migration to PCs offers many features not available in most PLC systems (e.g.
USB interface, Ethernet adapters, Video interface, compact flash, etc.). However, in exchange for PC functionality, users often lose the ruggedness and reliability associated with a PLC, as well as direct connectivity to a wide range of modular I/O.Equally as challenging is the convergence of the automation and IT worlds. Not only must engineers consider the control application but also how to connect the application to an enterprise system (ERP, MES, or SCADA).
With the 758-870 Series, WAGO has once again innovated a solution to solve today and tomorrow’s technology challenges. This new control platform combines PC features with the ruggedness of a PLC, as well as connectivity to the IT world.To complete the solution, the 758-870 Series is programmed via the versatile WAGO-I/O-PRO CAA software tool. With built-in HMI and OPC server, not only can you create your control program but also your HMI screens, as well as connect to the enterprise system – all in one development package.
