A Holistic Approach: From the Field Level up to the Cloud

Everything from a single source: In addition to the PFC100 and PFC200 IoT Controllers, WAGO is expanding its digital performance portfolio with the new WAGO Cloud capability. This expansion allows WAGO to offer a solution that links elements from the real and digital worlds.

Your benefits at a glance:

Universal solution for various applications thanks to individual dashboards
Scalable Internet of Things (IoT) platform: Expandable and customizable via REST/OPC UA interface
Central system status monitoring and notification via alarm handling
Secure communication via TLS encryption
Central data visualization via location-independent access to the WAGO Cloud

What Makes the WAGO Cloud Successful

Performance Scope of the WAGO Cloud

The WAGO Cloud manages and monitors all WAGO PFC Controllers, as well as their applications and data. A Web portal serves as a user interface for the cloud service hosted at Microsoft Azure. Customers have access to functions – like project, controller, and user management, controller status monitoring, alarm functions, and email messaging – through this gateway. A dashboard displays text, tables, diagrams, display elements and command buttons for seamless and intuitive operation. For customized solutions, the REST or OPC UA interface is used, for example, in energy monitoring and predictive maintenance applications.

The WAGO Cloud is available for free as a beta version until the end of June 2018.

Impressive Hardware

Both WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 and 750 XTR connect to the field level, and a PFC Controller sends data to the WAGO Cloud. In just a few simple steps, both the PFC100 and PFC200 Controllers can be transformed into IoT devices by installing a firmware upgrade and programming an IEC application with the corresponding library. Communication between PFCs and the WAGO Cloud is performed and encrypted via MQTT protocol. The user can easily run an upgrade in the Web browser using WAGO’s Web-Based Management (WBM) system. The cloud connection data is also configured using WBM. Libraries for CODESYS 2.3 and e!COCKPIT are also included. The variables that will be transferred to the cloud can be defined using the IEC program. This means that sensitive data does not leave the company. Thus, both WAGO PFC100 and PFC200 Controllers form the platform that links elements from the real and digital worlds. They also offer a variety of interfaces, forming the perfect foundation for an IoT gateway. These modular and scalable controllers collect every field signal, communicate in all industrial protocols, and even enable cloud connection to sensors and actuators that themselves have no Web interface.
