Seamless modular I/O integration

For seamless modular I/O integration, WAGO controllers combine with WAGO’s I/O System 750 — both available nationwide through LAPP Australia — to create a flexible and efficient automation solution, customisable to a broad range of industrial applications.

The modular I/O modules connect seamlessly with the controllers and go a step further by combining traditional PLC functions with advanced data processing capabilities, making them ideal for IoT applications as well.

Offering more than 500 I/O modules, programmable controllers and fieldbus couplers, WAGO’s I/O System offers all the functions required for your automation needs — and every fieldbus. The remote I/O System is the decentralised peripheral for automation technology. The tool-free wiring is intuitive for worldwide use, and the lever ensures that the contact point is always securely closed. The optional pluggable connection for the 753 Series minimises both hardware and system expenses.

Applications of this system range from industrial automation, controlling machinery and production lines, to building automation, managing HVAC and security systems, and energy management, monitoring consumption and integrating renewable sources.

Taking integration to the next level

Key features of the modular WAGO I/O system include:

• Scalable Control Solutions: Interfaces are available for any size and type of automation task — from distributed I/O nodes or standalone control to global networks.
• Automatic Contact: Power jumper contacts automatically provide both internal data transmission and power for the electronics, as well as potential distribution.
• Clear Labelling: Module functionality is identified via integrated and pluggable marker carriers. Terminal assignment information and technical data are printed on the side of the modules and WAGO’s WSB Marking System also allows for module- and channel-specific labelling.
• Pluggable Connection Interface: For ultimate convenience, 753 Series Modules are 100% compatible with the 750 Series and feature pluggable connectors. Due to the detachable wiring interface, it is easy to replace a module without removing and redoing all the existing wiring, and this design virtually eliminates installation errors, enabling flexible assembly via pre-wired connectors and saving time.
• Robust Design: The WAGO I/O System is engineered and tested for use in the most demanding environments (such as temperature cycling, shock/vibration loading and ESD), while spring pressure connection technology guarantees continuous operation.
• Compact Size: WAGO’s patented mechanical design makes extremely compact I/O nodes possible. It can accommodate up to 16 channels in a module width of 12 mm.
• Maximum Flexibility: Each node in the WAGO I/O System can be configured to meet every channel’s requirements; additionally, various potentials and signal types are available (granularity of 1–16 channels). Digital and analog I/O modules, as well as speciality modules, can be freely mixed, while supply modules permit different voltages within the same node.
• Ease of Use: A modular, DIN-rail-mount design permits easy installation, expansion and modification of the I/O node without tools. Changes and additions are straightforward, and proven CAGE CLAMP® technology makes all field connections quick, vibration-proof and maintenance-free. Depending on the I/O module’s granularity, field peripherals can be directly wired using 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-wire technology.
