Perfect Foundation for Smart Buildings
Controller PFC200 BACnet/IP

Packing a standardized MQTT interface, the Linux® operating system and user-friendly e!COCKPIT Engineering Software, a new BACnet/IP Controller joins WAGO's PFC200 family. This combination of features makes the controller ideal for smart building applications while meeting modern building automation requirements.

The new controller has a standardized MQTT (open messaging protocol) interface and connects the modular WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM to the BACnet network via building-specific BACnet/IP protocol interface. Both the real-time capable Linux® operating system and CODESYS V3-based e!COCKPIT Engineering Software are used to program the controller.

The controller shows its strengths in large system projects, where it can reliably and simultaneously automate a large number of BACnet objects. This high-performance controller complies with applicable industry standards, meets all market requirements and has successfully passed standard BACnet interoperability tests.
