Why Choose the WAGO 750-816/300-000 MODBUS Controller?
The WAGO 750-816/300-000 is a powerful MODBUS RTU programmable logic controller (PLC) designed for decentralised industrial automation, machine control and distributed I/O applications. As part of the highly respected WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 series, it combines PLC functionality and MODBUS communication within a compact DIN rail mounted controller, providing a cost-effective solution for industrial control systems.
Developed for OEMs, machine builders and automation engineers, the controller enables local processing of automation tasks while reducing network traffic. With support for IEC 61131-3 programming standards, engineers can access all fieldbus and I/O data directly to create efficient and scalable automation solutions.
Featuring MODBUS RTU communication via RS-232, a 16-bit processor and support for up to 64 I/O modules, the 750-816/300-000 is ideal for industrial machinery, process automation, material handling systems and building management applications. Its compact design simplifies installation while supporting flexible system expansion.
