Products & services
I/O System Field
Decentralization with extended connectivity – the I/O System Field for IP67-rated cabinet-free automation features an impressive range of functions.
INDUSTRIAL SWITCHES
WAGO’s range of switches ensures the scalability of your ETHERNET network infrastructure, while providing outstanding electrical and mechanical characteristics. Unmanaged and managed switches in various designs are available for high-end applications. Our ECO switches are ideal for cost-sensitive applications that do not require technical features such as redundancy. They are ideal for small to medium-sized networks.
IoT-Box
The WAGO IoT Box is the perfect solution for connecting new and existing systems. Integrating machines and systems into the “Internet of Things” ” is incredibly simple with WAGO’s IoT Box. The complete system is ready for immediate use and offers all the functions required for digitalization from signal acquisition to cloud connectivity. The IoT Box was designed as a plug-and-play device – no hardware engineering is needed. Collected data is transferred to the desired IoT application with just a few parameter settings. The hardware includes a controller with its own communication interface, I/O modules with analog and digital inputs/outputs, a 3-phase power measurement module and a 24 V power supply unit. Depending on the application, additional I/O modules can be added later to adapt the system to specific requirements. Additional options include a protocol gateway to various fieldbus and control protocols or the evaluation and pre-processing of data using PLC functionality and/or applications under Linux®, including Docker.
IO-Link
Increasingly complex products, manufacturing flexibility and high demands on quality assurance require intelligent, configurable and programmable sensors. To fulfill these demands, IO-Link streamlines the varying interfaces required to connect to a control system and tooling.
I/O SYSTEM 750/753
Decentralized peripherals for every application: Boasting more than 500 I/O modules, programmable controllers and fieldbus couplers, WAGO’s remote I/O system offers all the functions required for your automation needs – and for every fieldbus.
WAGO’s Pro 2 Power Supplies
Control cabinets are undergoing a transformation because the requirements on them – both quantitative and qualitative – are becoming stricter and stricter. Greater networking, rising energy costs and increasing customization require economy, speed and flexibility in a minimum footprint for control cabinets.
Enabling the Energy Transition Together
Energy generation, distribution, storage and consumption – the energy transition requires the interaction of all the players. This is why WAGO has been a reliable partner to the energy industry for many years – for municipal utilities, system operators, system integrators, station builders and industrial customers alike.

Furthermore, with our WAGO Solution Provider Program, we bring together project-specific clients and implementation experts. This is how we can enable the energy transition together!
RAIL-MOUNT TERMINAL
Master every challenge with WAGO's rail-mount terminal block systems. Our complete, high-performance line of terminal blocks will be the platform for your solution!
WAGO Edge Controller and Computer - Optimal Data Use in the Field
Intelligent processes are requiring more and more computing power, and this places corresponding demands on databases directly in the field. WAGO offers the right hardware for any edge application. Where real-time data is involved, data processing is becoming more and more important. More and more computing power is needed, and this places corresponding demands on databases, as well as analysis and optimization algorithms, directly in the field. WAGO offers solutions in the form of the Edge Controller and Edge Computer. These devices process applications right on the machine, taking the pressure off the controllers so they can focus on their actual control duties with low latency and a high level of determinism.
WAGO Compact Controller 100 - The new WAGO Compact Controller 100 with integrated I/Os: maximum performance in minimum space.
WAGO’s Compact Controller 100 (751-9301) is an attractive solution for various applications that can be adapted rapidly to users’ needs. The new controller also strengthens WAGO’s automation portfolio downstream of the proven PFC200 Series. As usual in the WAGO controller family, the Compact Controller runs a real-time Linux operating system and supports standard fieldbus protocols – a clear commitment to openness and interoperability.
