Unlimited Possibilities with the Linux®-Based WAGO OS Operating System

Enjoy Openness and Flexibility with WAGO OS

By merging OT and IT, the real-time-capable Linux®-based WAGO OS operating system eliminates previous limitations, offering users new opportunities. This open platform provides comprehensive solutions in both software and hardware, serving as an ideal foundation for successful automation projects.

Explore the powerful WAGO controllers featuring an open-source operating system. These controllers not only provide exceptional flexibility by supporting the open-source community but also benefit from ongoing development and maintenance by WAGO, ensuring a future-proof code base.

WAGO OS, used in PFC family controllers like the WAGO PFC300 and WAGO Compact Controller 100, allows programming in C or C++. This enables you to create programs in any Linux®-supported language and execute them directly on the controller.

Experience Real-Time Engineering with WAGO OS

WAGO OS seamlessly integrates with the open concept of the product family, meeting all the demands of modern automation projects.

Open-Source Concept

WAGO OS, built on real-time capable Linux® technology, leverages its open-source community for continuous enhancements. This integration allows for the ongoing addition or expansion of functionalities, benefiting users who need to meet specific security requirements or access particular databases.

Pre-Installed Linux®

Our controllers, equipped with Embedded Linux (WAGO OS), enable seamless and swift integration into your application.

Flexible Customization

Thanks to open source, you can integrate your own projects or numerous tools from the Software Development Kit (SDK), including ready-made CODESYS libraries and Docker® containers. More than 500 I/O modules can be selected from the WAGO I/O System 750 and integrated for even greater flexibility.
