Straight to the Cloud

WAGO’s new solutions for cloud connectivity securely and efficiently link data from the real world to the digital world. Connectivity is based on the MQTT protocol, paving the way directly to the WAGO Cloud usage. But cloud connectivity is not limited to just the WAGO Cloud – access is also permitted to other prominent cloud solutions including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud and SAP Cloud. Both the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 and 750 XTR connect to the field level, and a WAGO PFC Controller sends data to the cloud. All of the data converges in the cloud and can be used for analysis. Thanks to native integration of the MQTT protocol, cloud connectivity also supports a large number of other MQTT brokers, whether local or online.

Create True Added Value

This capability creates true added value for your company – whether for increasing the efficiency of in-house production, implementing energy management in buildings or developing additional end-customer services.

Cloud connectivity provides a tremendous advantage since the controllers from the PFC family of the modular 750/750 XTR Series can collect every field signal. The controllers can handle numerous industrial protocols and even enable cloud connection of sensors and actuators that themselves have no Web interface.

And another argument in favor of cloud connectivity: It can handle event-based publishing, i.e., event-based data transfer. This advantage provides significant savings for mobile connections because data is sent only when values change.
