A Plug-In Makes WAGO Controllers IoT-Ready
Merging IT and automation, any member of WAGO’s PFC Controller family can be transformed into a cloud-connected IoT controller using a simple MQTT software upgrade.

Recording, digitizing and linking data profitably – this is the core concept behind Industry 4.0. A simple upgrade transforms the WAGO PFC100 and PFC200 Controllers into IoT controllers that transmit data from the field level to the cloud, where this data can be aggregated and used for analysis. This creates true added value for companies – be it for increasing the efficiency of in-house production, implementing energy management in buildings, or further developing end customer services. Existing systems also become IoT-ready, making them sustainable into the future. The WAGO PFC family of controllers thus forms the basis for a sustainable corporate world.
The user can easily run the software update in a Web browser using WAGO’s Web-Based Management (WBM) system. Libraries for CoDeSys 2.3 and e!COCKPIT are also included. The cloud connection data is also configured using WBM. The variables that will be transferred to the cloud can be defined using the IEC program – the programmer is always in control.
