Product Catalog
The Product Catalog displays all devices that are available in the system and have device drivers that are installed (Backstage view > [Product Catalog] > [Import device]). Devices can be displayed in the folder by product segment or protocol type. The devices can be sorted in the folder by item number or product name.
Note
If the Network view is activated, only controllers are visible – not modules!
If Network view is active, no modules are shown in the Product Catalog. These are only displayed when Device Detail view is active. No internal WAGO modules (e.g., the localbus) or end modules are shown.
Note
Custom devices require OEM licenses!
If not all devices are visible in the product catalog, this may be due to a missing OEM license. Enter the OEM license on the “Licensing” page of the Backstage view. After activation, the device is visible in the product catalog.

Functions of the Product Catalog:
- Drag & Drop
- To add a device to a project, individual devices are dragged from the Product Catalog and dropped onto a tile in the Network view.
- Tooltips
- Hovering the mouse over a device will display a tooltip showing the product view, device name, type, order number of the device.
- Adding devices
- Clicking the “Add” icon opens a context menu via which up to 250 devices can be added simultaneously.
- The [Add] button or [Enter] key adds the entered number of devices and closes the dialog. Pressing [Tab] moves the focus to the [Add] button. Pressing [Esc] clicking outside of the dialog closes the dialog. If multiple devices are added, the device added last is selected.
- Engineering Station
- The “Infrastructure” folder contains the “Engineering PC” entry among other things. The Engineering PC (PC with e!COCKPIT) can be applied from the catalog in the project and connected to another device via ETHERNET. This way you can quickly identify during configuration where in the network the PC with e!COCKPIT is. The name of the Engineering PC can be changed in the tile or list depending on the view
- Recently used devices
- The “Recently used” folder contains the last 10 devices added to the project.
If a device is used in the project with different device description versions, the version of the device last used is displayed in the folder. The entries are maintained in the list for 6 months.
