Why Choose the WAGO 751-9402 Compact Controller 100?
The WAGO 751-9402 Compact Controller 100 is an advanced programmable logic controller (PLC) engineered for demanding automation, energy management and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. Combining powerful control capabilities with highly flexible onboard I/O, dual Ethernet networking and dual RS-485 communications, it provides a complete automation platform within a compact DIN rail-mounted enclosure.
Unlike traditional compact PLCs, the 751-9402 features 8 dedicated digital inputs, 8 configurable digital input/output channels, 2 analogue inputs, 2 configurable analogue input/output channels and 2 resistance temperature sensor inputs. This flexibility allows engineers to optimise I/O allocation based on application requirements without adding external modules.
Powered by a dual-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor running a real-time Linux operating system, the controller supports CODESYS V3.5, Node-RED, MQTT, OPC UA, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP, making it ideal for modern automation systems, distributed energy resources and cloud-connected industrial applications.
