WAGO Edge Controllers and Computers

Optimal Data Utilization in the FieldIntelligent processes are requiring more and more computing power, placing corresponding demands on databases right in the field. WAGO offers the right hardware for any edge application.

Where real-time data is involved, data processing is becoming increasingly important. More and more computing power is needed, placing corresponding demands on databases, as well as analysis and optimization algorithms, directly in the field. WAGO offers the Edge Controller and Edge Computer as solutions. These devices process applications right on the machine, offloading the controllers so they can focus on their actual control duties with low latency and a high level of determinism.

Easy Cloud Connection

Collected data can be evaluated directly, displayed graphically and made available to WAGO Cloud, for example. Transfer may be appropriate for especially critical data, for instance. Both new devices have additional advantages when data needs to be temporarily buffered, for instance, in mobile applications. They are based on cabinet-compatible hardware and can be powered with 24 V, making them a perfect fit for the automation environment.

Equipped for High Security

A TPM 2.0 chip allows an encryption mechanism to be used to ensure data security. With a large share of open source software, the devices are equipped with the best software technology because the large open-source community continually reviews the source code and provides bug fixes. Besides the standard VPN applications, the devices are open for special security solutions such as Tosibox and Hooc. Thus, in addition to WAGO’s own VPN solution, users can also access other remote maintenance solutions with a high degree of security, in line with the #openandeasy principle.

WAGO Edge Computer

Where demands on computing power and memory are high, WAGO offers the perfect solution with its Edge Computer. It features a 1.91 GHz quad-core Atom processor and is equipped with standard Debian Linux. Users can draw on abundant resources and represent entire automation processes on them.

The Benefits for You:

High computing power, scalable storage
Compact, low-maintenance
Allow use of standard software
Available with ATOM processor with 4, 8 or 16 GB of RAM and with i7 processor with 16 or 32 GB of RAM
