Industrial applications place inordi-
nately harsh demands on the fi eldbus
peripherals, making overall life cycle
costs crucial. Convenient project engi-
neering, fast assembly/commissioning,
straightforward expansion and reliable
diagnostics of the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM
reduce these costs and increase produc-
tivity.
The fi eldbus-independent I/O modules
can combine with many fi eldbus coup-
lers/controllers to create main fi eldbus
systems and industrial Ethernet stan-
dards. This enables the system to easily
accommodate individual customer requi-
rements without major modifi cations.
These factors minimize handling errors
and ensure the long-term protection of
system investments.
The comprehensive selection of I/O
modules for diff erent potential and
signal forms saves time and money
because the sensors/actuators can be
directly wired. High integration density
is provided by the ability to integrate up
to 16 channels in a 12mm-wide module
and up to 64/255 I/O modules per
fi eldbus coupler or controller.
The exceptional reliability and quality
of WAGO’s components provide pro-
cess and engineering devices with the
highest levels of technical accuracy and
safety.
The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM has been
awarded with several international cer-
tifications, making it the best choice for
a myriad of applications – even those
with the most demanding environmental
conditions.
Specialty modules for industrial drive
technology (stepper controllers, en-
coders, etc.), gateway functionalities
(AS-Interface, MODBUS) and functional
safety (PROFIsafe) complete the range.
Finely modular fi eldbus nodes (1, 2, 4,
8 and 16 channels/module) enable the
production of customized confi gurations
without expensive overcapacity.
The coupler’s special software features
support project engineers in handling of
hardware expansion (e.g., “virtual I/O
modules on PROFIBUS”).
The WAGO-I/O-CHECK commissioning
software lowers engineering and instal-
lation costs by allowing users to “build”
nodes virtually and verify the correct
operation of connected peripherals
early in the process.
PLC functionality is guaranteed with the
programmable IEC61131-3-compatible
fi eldbus controllers. Relocating time-
intensive and complex applications,
such as commissioning, to the fi eldbus
nodes relieves the bus and controller
of these tasks and modularizes the
process.

Extensive engineering and quality have
given the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM a wide
operating range. It can operate as a
direct connection for an intrinsically
safe peripheral in both Zones 0 and 1
(where highly explosive compounds are
prevalent) just as easily as it operates
in Zone 2 (where explosive compounds
are relatively rare). The accurate and
comprehensive diagnostic functions
may eliminate potential downtime by
detecting faults – right down to the
cable level.
Programmable fieldbus controllers
increase system availability, and both
the specific and local responses to
events are provided by decentralized
control logic. I/O modules for condition
monitoring (preventative maintenance)
are included in the range, as are ana-
log measuring modules (AC/DC TRMS)
and serial interface modules, which
provide protocol gateways to serial
fi eld devices.
