Downloading Components
Various starting points are available for downloading components from the Download Center. For example, if you click on an update notification, you are taken directly to the detail page and to the corresponding version of the component. Clicking on an update banner on the start page also takes you directly to the required version.

- Go to the “Download Center” tab.
- Open the “Software,” “Solutions” or “Learning Material” page from the page navigation.
- Expand the categories to find the component you want.
Tip: Use the list view to get a clearer overview.
- Click on the component you want.
- The Detail Page for the component opens.
You can choose between different versions for download on the detail page:
• Downloading the Current Version
• Downloading the Previous Version
• Downloading Multiple Components (Download List)
• Download Bundle of Dependent and Recommended Components
• Displaying and Downloading Dependent Components
• Downloading Security Updates
Note: To download components, you need a WAGO account (at least “Premium” permission level) and must be logged in. For more information on registration, login and permissions, see Loggin In.
