Decentralization with extended connectivity – the WAGO I/O System Field for IP67-rated cabinet-free automation features an impressive range of functions. ■ Integrated load management ■ Extended network connectivity ■ Form and function combined ■ An all-in-one solution via IO-link The decentralized WAGO I/O System Field boasts expanded network connectivity. It integrates fast ETHERNET-based fieldbuses like PROFINET®, EtherNet/IPTM and EtherCAT®, as well as technologies like IO-Link, OPC UA, Bluetooth® and Webserver. The fieldbus modules of the I/O System Field now also support the MQTT communication protocol for applications like direct cloud connection. Device data and metadata, measured values and diagnostic data can be read out and passed to a cloud application or edge device for further processing. A free firmware update provides the MQTT functionality as an add-on. The WAGO I/O Field app for iOS or Android can be used to operate the modules over Bluetooth® (Bluetooth Low Energy). This app now includes IP address assignment and management, making wireless commissioning in the field even easier. In addition to protection type IP67, the modules now meet the requirements of enclosure types 12 & 13 (UL 50) and have been certified per UL 61010 ordinary location requirements, allowing use in the corresponding markets. The WAGO I/O System Field toolkit also now includes IO-Link Configurator. Use this engineering software to configure WAGO IO-Link Masters and directly operate IO-Link devices, regardless of the manufacturer. Besides the I/O System Field modules, the engineering software can now configure I/O System 750 modules too.
