WAGO PFC100 Controllers - Compact

Where the PFC100 Is Used

The PFC100 is built for Ethernet-based control across a wide range of industries:

  • Industrial and mechanical engineering - packaging, bottling, and manufacturing lines; textile, metal, and woodworking machinery.
  • Process automation - field-signal processing in chemical, energy, gas, and oil plants, including Zone 2 installations with intrinsically safe I/O.
  • Energy grids and telecontrol - remote monitoring and control of generation and distribution assets.
  • Building automation - HVAC, lighting, and facility control with HTML5 web visualization.

Programmed in CODESYS, Powered by Linux

All WAGO controllers run on the CODESYS V3.5 industry standard, so you can develop in any IEC 61131-3 language (ST, FBD, LD, IL, SFC, CFC) and reuse existing programs without relearning the environment. Object-oriented programming and modern HTML5 visualization are built in. For teams that want full control, the PFC100 also runs a real-time Embedded Linux that accepts open-source packages and external CODESYS libraries directly in the base image.

Built for the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750/753

The PFC100 is the head of a fully modular I/O system. It supports the complete range of digital, analog, and specialty modules in the 750 and 753 Series - more than 500 modules in total - so you can wire sensors and actuators directly and scale from a single machine to an entire plant. Easily exchangeable I/O components keep installation times short and reduce wiring errors.

Cybersecurity Built In

Connecting control systems to the internet raises the attack surface. The PFC100 includes SSL/TLS encryption, SSH, VPN, and a firewall so you can establish secure remote links straight from the controller and limit the impact of an attack on your machines and systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WAGO PFC100?

The PFC100 is a compact, DIN-rail programmable logic controller for the modular WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750/753. It uses a 600 MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, runs a real-time Linux OS, and is programmed in CODESYS 3.5 to IEC 61131-3. Browse the full PFC100 range at Automation Distribution.

What software is used to program the PFC100?

The PFC100 is programmed with WAGO's CODESYS V3.5 engineering software (e!RUNTIME), supporting all five IEC 61131-3 languages plus CFC. Advanced users can also work directly with the controller's Embedded Linux operating system.

What is the difference between the 750-8100, 750-8101, and 750-8102?

The 750-8100 is the compact ECO version with two ETHERNET ports. The 750-8101 is the standard two-ETHERNET model. The 750-8102 adds an RS-232/RS-485 serial interface for Modbus RTU and other serial devices.

Does the PFC100 support extended temperature ranges?

Yes. The /025-000 variants, such as the 750-8101/025-000 and 750-8102/025-000, operate from -20 to +60 °C for cold-storage, outdoor, and high-heat enclosures versus the standard 0 to +55 °C rating.

Which I/O modules work with the PFC100?

The PFC100 supports the full WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 and 753 Series - digital, analog, and specialty modules - so you can mix signal types on a single node and connect up to 64 field devices.

What does the PFC100 replace?

The current 750-810x PFC100 controllers replace the obsolete 750-882 and 750-885 controllers, making them a direct upgrade path for existing WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM installations.
