Ethernet Fieldbus Configuration

The PFC200 controllers support the most popular
Ethernet based fieldbuses. You can take advantage
of setting the controller to a Master or an adapter
form may fieldbuses including:
ETHERNET
• MODBUS TCP – Master, Server
• EthreNet/IP – Scanner, Adapter
• EtherCAT – Master
• BACnet - Server

The ETHERNET interfaces also support all common ETHERNET

protocols such as DHCP, DNS, NTP, FTP & HTTP.

A secure connection is provided

via SSH, HTTPS, FTPS & TLS

SCADA

ETHERNET

Remote Terminal Unit Protocols

The PFC200 can also be used as RTUs. In addition
to the IEC 60870-5-101, 103, -104, IEC 61850
& IEC 61400-25 telecontrol protocols, they also
support the DNP3 communication standard.
These protocols can be added to CODESYS
via WAGO licenses.

cloud A cloud B

MQTT IIoT Protocols

ETHERNET MQTT is a powerful IoT protocol that has developed into
a standard in many industrial automation applications.
The PFC200 controller support an MQTT connection
by default. With “Multi Cloud Connectivity”, the parallel
connection of a device to two different cloud systems,
IoT platforms or MQTT brokers is possible. This
means that different tasks can be implemented in the
appropriate cloud application.

ETHERNET
Industrial Protocols
Use the PFC200 for stand alone control or as
a communications gateway between common
serial-based communication and Ethernet base
protocols. Interface via CANopen, Modbus RTU,
IO Link, RS232 or RS485 with end devices for
holistic system control without the need for
communication converts.

Large Memory, Fast Processor and Numerous Communication Interfaces

The features are impressive: Despite its compact size, WAGO’s programmable logical controller (PLC) carries all
the vital interfaces with either 2 or 4 Ethernet Ports – depending on the version you select. For ultimate in versatility,
the ETHERNET interfaces can be configured independently, meaning separate networks can be configured with
the PLC. As an alternative, the ETHERNET ports can function as an ETHERNET switch to create a line topology.
Other available interfaces built into the PFC200 are RS232/485, and CANopen. The SD card slot provides additional
functionality, such as allowing large image files to be stored on an SD card for Web visualization.

The rugged controller accommodates a 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor, flanked by 512 MB RAM for exceptionally
fast operating speeds. The largest possible program and data memory of 1.5 GB also provides the PFC200 with
sufficient reserves for complex control tasks.

CODESYS 3.5 Ethernet Based Industrial Protocols
CODESYS 3.5 offers users powerful communication capabilities by natively supporting multiple Ethernet
based industrial fieldbuses. Controls engineers can use one common programming tool to manage systems
no matter the protocols used. Users do not have to purchase, learn or maintain multiple software platforms,
helping to save money and speed up program development. The following protocols are standard and come
with free technical support and training from WAGO:

• CODESYS 3.5 supports the real-time Ethernet system EtherNet/IP as a Scanner or Adapter.
WAGO’s PFC200 controller can be used with either of these modes without the need for additional hardware.
• The programming software also supports EtherCAT master functionality, enabling diagnostics and monitoring
through the IEC 61131-3 application. Users can use WAGO’s PFC200s as a gateway between EtherCAT
fieldbuses and other protocols such as MODBUS, MQTT and many others.
• Users are also able to use CODESYS 3.5 with MODBUS TCP/UDP master and client applications.
This common protocol offers users the ability to connect with an endless number of devices.

WAGO has also developed tools for additional protocols not found in standard CODESYS 3.5 software.
These protocols extend the IEC61131-3 based programming software to many other applications
and are available with CODESYS 3.5 software when used with WAGO PFC200 controllers. The addition
of these protocols to the system can be completed via licenses that can be ordered by part numbers
shown in the table below.
