Open Automation
We bring together powerful WAGO hardware and a future-proof Linux® operating system. Our controllers with “Embedded Linux” impress with their flexibility: you can extend the base image using open-source packages or integrate external CODESYS libraries.
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.
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.
Holistic Cybersecurity
WAGO has certified its development processes according to IEC 62443-1 and will gradually integrate these cybersecurity standards into WAGO OS. This ensures comprehensive protection for industrial systems across all boundaries.
Cost-Effective Solutions
WAGO OS provides new levels of flexibility, both technically and economically. The Linux®-based controllers are distinguished by their excellent price-performance ratio. See for yourself!
Variety of WAGO Controllers
Complex, compact, flexible, or extreme – WAGO has the perfect controller for every environment! One advantage of the Linux®-based controllers is their seamless integration of open-source applications, including pre-configured CODESYS libraries, Docker® containers, and custom projects. PLC functions can be expanded quickly and easily.
WAGO Edge Computer (IPC)
Where demands on computing power and memory are high, WAGO offers the perfect solution with its Edge Computer. It features a 1.91 GHz quad-core Atom processor and is equipped with standard Debian Linux. Users can fully leverage this capability to map entire automation processes.
