WAGO is offering free Add-On instructions for Allen-Bradley

RS-Logix 5000, allowing Allen-Bradley PLC users to easily implement control

logic that supports the functionality of WAGO-IO-SYSTEM distributed I/O

modules. The instructions allow customers to adapt standard analog, digital and

specialty module I/O functions into ControlLogix, CompactLogix and DriveLogix

controllers.

The Add-On instructions are designed to bring the modularity

and flexibility of the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM to projects requiring compact, granular,

DIN-rail mount I/O using DeviceNet and EtherNet I/P, while providing additional

specialty functions including: motor control (dc and stepper), serial

communications, vibration monitoring, HART Device monitoring, 3-phase power

measurement, AS-Interface Gateway and DALI Lighting Control.

Integration of WAGO Add-On Instructions into RS-Logix 5000

software (version 16 and up) is straightforward: use the import feature, select

the proper file and insert it into existing PLC code. Both relay logic and

structured text programming languages are supported. The fully documented

function appears as a native component of RS Logix 5000 software, ready for

configuration required by the application.
