WAGO Edge Controllers and Computers

Optimal Data Utilization in the Field

Intelligent processes are requiring more and more computing power, placing corresponding demands on databases right in the field. WAGO offers the right hardware for any edge application.

Where real-time data is involved, data processing is becoming increasingly important. More and more computing power is needed, placing corresponding demands on databases, as well as analysis and optimization algorithms, directly in the field. WAGO offers the Edge Controller and Edge Computer as solutions. These devices process applications right on the machine, offloading the controllers so they can focus on their actual control duties with low latency and a high level of determinism.

Easy Cloud Connection

Collected data can be evaluated directly, displayed graphically and made available to WAGO Cloud, for example. Transfer may be appropriate for especially critical data, for instance. Both new devices have additional advantages when data needs to be temporarily buffered, for instance, in mobile applications. They are based on cabinet-compatible hardware and can be powered with 24 V, making them a perfect fit for the automation environment.

Equipped for High Security

A TPM 2.0 chip allows an encryption mechanism to be used to ensure data security. With a large share of open source software, the devices are equipped with the best software technology because the large open-source community continually reviews the source code and provides bug fixes. Besides the standard VPN applications, the devices are open for special security solutions such as Tosibox and Hooc. Thus, in addition to WAGO’s own VPN solution, users can also access other remote maintenance solutions with a high degree of security, in line with the #openandeasy principle.

WAGO Edge Controller 400

The demands on modern automation systems are steadily increasing: More and more computing power is needed directly in the field for optimal data use. WAGO offers solutions with the Edge Controller 400, which is tailored to the Linux®-based, real-time-capable ctrlX OS technology. The devices require little space, can be easily integrated into existing systems and process applications directly on the machine. Using ctrlX app technology, the Edge Controller 400 can be flexibly adapted to the specific task.


Your Benefits:

  • Control and data processing in one device
  • With ctrlX OS – the Linux®-based operating system
  • IoT-ready thanks to MQTT and OPC UA
  • Comprehensive CtrlX app offering

WAGO Edge Controller

The Edge Controller features an ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor and offers an extensive selection of interfaces, including two ETHERNET ports, one CANopen port and two USB ports. It also has a serial interface and four digital inputs/outputs for connecting local devices or sensors.

Your Benefits:

  • Easy integration into existing systems
  • Space-saving installation
  • Programming in CODESYS per IEC 61131-3 standard
  • Approvals: DNV, CE, UL and KC

WAGO Edge Computer

Where demands on computing power and memory are high, WAGO offers the perfect solution with the Edge Computer. It features a 1.91 GHz quad-core Atom processor and is equipped with standard Debian Linux. Users can draw on abundant resources and model entire automation processes on them.

Your Benefits:

  • High computing power, scalable storage
  • Compact, low-maintenance
  • Allows use of standard software
  • Classic Linux or Linux-based ctrlX OS are available as the operating system
