Container Virtualization with Docker

Docker makes it easier for you to provide software/applications with container virtualization.

Use Applications More Quickly with Docker

Docker container technology speeds up software development, testing and deployment, since its handling is based on the behavior of apps. WAGO PFC200 series controllers now make it possible to exploit these advantages on an embedded platform.

In order to be able to react cost-efficiently to ever shorter product cycles in production, production must be networked and become more flexible and agile. Software is required to support factories in meeting new production requirements. However, the preparations for development, testing, delivery and distribution are anything but easy, especially on embedded platforms: Installing and configuring the programs is often laborious, which takes time and slows the digital transformation in companies.

Docker-Ready since Spring 2019

The Docker virtualization technology, based on Linux®, can make software deployment significantly easier, since it packages applications in a portable form. Therefore, in the future, WAGO will offer its PFC200 Series Controllers in Docker-ready form. It will then be possible to use modern software and numerous applications provided by developers around the world on the PFC200, such as the graphical programming tool Node-RED, which can be used to implement application cases in the area of the Internet of Things with a simple modular principle. Previously, embedded operating systems had to be modified for Node-RED – Docker allows it to be used on the PFC200 within a few minutes.
