WAGO Ethernet I/O
 

WAGO Ethernet and Profibus DP I/O feature a wide variety of analog and digital I/O modules that reliably interface the ORION® motion controller to industrial devices such as switches, sensors, solenoids, valves and motor starters.  WAGO I/O utilizes either an Ethernet or Profibus DP Fieldbus Coupler for each node, which is connected to DIN rail mounted I/O modules. The user can select appropriate modules (AC In/Out, DC In/Out, sinking/sourcing, Analog current/voltage, etc.) for their specific application.

The WAGO Fieldbus Couplers are compact, flexible, high-performance processors that provide the interface between the I/O modules and either a dedicated Ethernet or Profibus DP network. DIN rail mounted modules provide an efficient method for mounting that minimizes panel space.  The I/O modules are color coded by function and provide a high degree of isolation and noise immunity between the motion controller and external components. Optional labeling components are available to clearly indicate I/O point number, power and ground connections for easier installation and maintenance.

The 24 VDC discrete input modules include built-in noise filters, available with either a 3.0 or 0.2 msec time constant. These filter time constant options allow the user to select the appropriate level of noise filtration for their application and environment.  All discrete I/O modules feature internal LED indicators. Digital output modules below include electronic short-circuit protection.

WAGO Ethernet I/O -- Quick Overview

Standard Connectivity Solutions – WAGO Ethernet and Profibus DP I/O provide standard connectivity solutions for interfacing digital and analog I/O to the ORION motion controllers that is easy to implement, operate and maintain. High-speed digital and analog signals can interface to the ORION controller using either an industry standard Ethernet network that’s dedicated for I/O control or a Profibus DP fieldbus network.

Flexible Interface – All supported WAGO I/O modules connect to an ORION using a Fieldbus Coupler, one per rack. The Fieldbus Coupler interfaces to the Ethernet or Profibus DP network providing a high-speed connection to all I/O in the rack. I/O can be remotely distributed throughout the machine.

Digital I/O Modules – WAGO I/O provides a full line of digital I/O modules. DC inputs (5 & 24 VDC), DC outputs (5 & 24 VDC), AC inputs (80 to 230 VAC) and AC outputs (0 to 230 VAC) provide flexible interface options. All digital modules feature a compact 2 and 4 channel designs. Each module incorporates CAGE CLAMP connection system for vibration-proof, fast and maintenance-free wiring with test points for easy access to signals with wiring in place.

Analog I/O Modules – Analog voltage inputs ranges from 0 to 10 volts, +/- 10 volts, and 4-20 mA. Analog output modules provide 0 to 10 volts, +/- 10 volts ranges. Analog input modules are available as efficient 2-channel devices. Interface to temperature sensors, load cells, dancer control systems, and other industrial analog voltage or current control points.

Minimum Panel Space – Compact 12 mm (0.47 in) and 24 mm (0.94 in) wide, DIN rail mounted module designs allow the OEM designer to use a minimum amount of panel space.

 I/O Functionality – Basic I/O operations are supported for all WAGO I/O modules using Profibus DP and a subset using Ethernet, including the products listed in the Ordering Guide.

ORDERING GUIDE INFORMATION

NOTE 1:  WAGO Fieldbus couplers supply a limited amount of 24 VDC power to the I/O modules, which may not be sufficient for the application.  A Power Supply and Supply Module may be required.  Refer to the WAGO Ethernet or Profibus I&O Manual or the WAGO Web Site for further information.

NOTE 2:  Any WAGO Digital I/O modules operating at voltages other than 24 VDC require a Power Supply and Supply Module with the appropriate voltage rating for input power and isolation. Refer to the WAGO Ethernet or Profibus I&O Manual or the WAGO Web Site for further information.

NOTE 3:  WAGO Analog Output and 2-Channel AC/DC Output Isolated Relay modules do not pass the power supply onto the other modules in the rack. A supply module will be required for any I/O modules to the right of an Analog Output or Isolated Relay module in a WAGO I/O system. Refer to the WAGO Ethernet or Profibus I&O Manual or the WAGO Web Site for further information.
