Technical Overview

PFC200 Controller, 2nd Generation, for the WAGO I/O System 750/753. This compact PLC integrates two configurable Ethernet interfaces with line-topology switch capability, RS-232/RS-485 serial communication, and a cellular radio modem supporting GSM/UMTS/LTE with EU radio approval. The controller runs real-time Linux with PREEMPT_RT patch, supports IEC 61131-3 programming, and offers CODESYS V3.5-based configuration and multiple industrial protocols including Modbus TCP/UDP, Modbus RTU, EtherNet/IP adapter, MQTT, and optional licenses for BACnet/IP, EtherCAT Master, IEC 60870, IEC 61850, and DNP3. It is intended for machine control, building automation, and decentralized data logging in industrial environments.

Industrial Applications

1. Remote pump station control with cellular backhaul

The integrated GSM/UMTS/LTE modem and Ethernet interfaces allow the controller to operate a distributed pump station without wired WAN access, while remote alarms can be exchanged through SMS and secure VPN.

Problem Solved

Eliminates the need for local broadband by providing cellular connectivity for remote PLC access and telemetry.

2. Machine control with mixed Ethernet and serial field devices

Dual Ethernet plus RS-232/RS-485 support lets the PLC integrate modern Ethernet devices and legacy serial instruments in one DIN-rail controller platform.

Problem Solved

Bridges heterogeneous automation equipment without separate protocol gateways.

3. Decentralized process data logging for utility and process skids

The controller’s real-time Linux runtime, SD/SDHC storage support, and large internal memory make it suitable for local data acquisition and buffering in process skids where connectivity may be intermittent.

Problem Solved

Provides local buffering and deterministic control when network links are unreliable or unavailable.
