Successful Innovations Need
Inspiration, Commitment And Persistence.
It began with an idea. Our basic thought was to find an
alternative to the normal screw-type connection in the
connecting technology field. From this idea we developed
spring clamp terminal blocks.
WAGO underpinned its conviction that this was the method of
the future with the founding of the company in 1951 and has
not wavered from this course since then. This technology has
long since become the worldwide standard and modern
electrical connecting systems and automation without WAGO
products is unimaginable.
Many people have contributed to the WAGO success story
through their commitment and dedication. All of them
believed in the potential of our company and were receptive
for new ideas and processes and advanced these ideas with a
sincere and passionate effort.
Speedway 767 - The New Performance Class
After 10 years of experience with IP 20
I/O modules, WAGO again achieves a milestone in automation
technology, with a new performance class of IP 67 I/O modules.
Consequently designed to the last detail, the sum total of the
features creates a total system which is setting new boundaries in
the marketplace.
The growing demand for automation without control cabinets is still
limited by cumbersome, slow and inflexible I/O systems whose
functionality is far behind that of modern IP 20 I/O systems.
WAGO is introducing a new series of IP 67 protected modular I/O
modules called WAGO SPEEDWAY 767, which matches the latest IP 20 I/O
products and opens up completely new possibilities.
Fieldbus Independent: In
the first stage alone, the whole leading edge world of automation is
opened up via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, ETHERNET IP and Device Net.
Modular: Up to 64 extension modules with 512
channels can be connected to the head station with integrated
fieldbus connection. Machines may be extended up to a total
extension of 500 meters.
Programmable: In addition to the fieldbus couplers,
controllers for all fieldbuses are available with the standard
CoDeSys IEC 61131 programming environment. CoDeSys version 3.0
guarantees the seamless connection to Automation Alliance.
Configurable: Combining different modules is a
thing of the past: 0-10V, ± 10V, 0-20 mA, 4 – 20 mA, ± 20 mA input
signals can be processed in a single input module, which is set
channel wise. Many different functionalities can therefore be
integrated into a single module. Threshold values, default values of
different strategies, filter times can also be defined for each
individual input. Start up is supported by the use of online
simulation. Furthermore, operation modes like trigger mode or
synchronous mode are available.
Diagnostics: Find instead of search! Significant
diagnostic information is essential for distributed system
architectures. WAGO-SPEEDWAY 767 provides for precise error
localisation on station, module as well as channel level. This way,
overload, short circuit, wire break and many other types of errors
can be easily and quickly detected.
Data Quality: With Dynamic Speed Control (DSC),
WAGO-SPEEDWAY 767 is the only I/O system capable of identifying the
maximum possible clock frequency of a particular installation
depending on its spatial extension. Data rates are therefore
considerably higher than those of less flexible systems. Unmatched
performance is achieved with cycle times lower than 100 µs and a
jitter less than 1 µs even at maximum extension. Of course, the
inputs and outputs of the whole system can be synchronised. Fast
control loops can be closed reliably in drive applications and even
the most demanding measurement applications can do without
proprietary electronics. Hence, the potential of modern
Ethernet-based fieldbuses can be fully exploited.
Safe: Safety technology based on IEC 61508 and
standard automation have grown together for some good reasons. Both
IP 20 and IP 67 systems meet the requirements of IEC 61508. This is
why safety has been made an integral part of WAGO-SPEEDWAY 767,
right from the beginning. SIL3 compliant safety I/O modules
complement each PROFISAFE master. Therefore, the parallel operation
of two automation systems is no longer required under IP67
conditions.
Ergonomically Designed and Accessible: Sensors and
actuators can be connected using international standardised M8 and
M12 connectors available world-wide. Servicing via USB interface
makes modern PC technology accessible and offers a future-proof
solution. Configuration is done via DTMs that can be seamlessly
integrated into any FDT framework. Both marker strips and WMB Inline
markers of the brand-new WAGO marking system demonstrate that a
compact housing does not necessarily means poor handling and lack of
marking. Large and easily identifiable marking can be simply and
clearly assigned to each channel.
Robust: The modules are fully encapsulated,
providing long-term sealing performance. IP 67 is intended for use
in areas with splash water and often in harsh environmental
conditions. WAGO-SPEEDWAY 767 is designed to operate in a range of
temperatures from –25 °C to +60 °C. Furthermore, protection against
EMC influence is provided by using a new shielding design.
Functional safety in the field is provided by compliance with the
WAGO EMC standard, which is far more stringent than the technically
relevant standards.
