Aids
WAGO can help you with a wide range of useful products and software solutions. The aids for project planning include:
- e!COCKPIT
- e!COCKPIT is an integrated development environment that supports every automation task, from hardware configuration and programming, to simulation and visualization, to commissioning – an all-in-one software package.
- WAGO Smart Designer Configurator
- The Smart Designer configurator enables true 3D configuration of WAGO’s electrical interconnect and automation components, including the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750/753, circuit boards and terminal blocks. With this tool you can, among other things, configure a node of the I/O system and calculate the approximate power requirement.
- WAGO-I/O-CHECK
- Application for operating and displaying a node consisting of components of the 750/753 and 750 XTR WAGO I/O Systems.
Coding
Multi-part I/O modules from the WAGO I/O-System can be equipped with coding keys to prevent mismatching when connecting the individual module parts.
For additional information see: Assembling/Disassembling Components.
System Supply Power Requirement: Example Calculation
The example calculation is based on the following node structure:
- Head station
- 5 × 16-channel digital input module
- 5 × 16-channel digital output module
- 11 × 8-channel analog input module
- 10 × 8-channel analog output module
- 2 × relay module
- I/O module ...
Head station | 1,700 mA |
5 × 16-channel digital input module (25 mA) | − 125 mA |
5 × 16-channel digital output module (40 mA) | − 200 mA |
11 ×8-channel analog input module (69 mA) | − 759 mA |
10 × 8-channel analog output module (61 mA) | − 610 mA |
Remaining total system supply current At this point, an additional supply module must be used! | 6 mA |
Supply module | 2,000 mA |
2 × relay module (100 mA) | − 200 mA |
I/O module ... | − ... |
Field Supply Power Requirement: Example Calculation
The field supply layout must be handled in a similar manner as the system supply. In addition, power requirements for external actuators and sensors must be taken into account. Additional supply modules may be needed. Detailed product information is available in the respective & Product Manual.
Determining Power Loss
Power loss depends on the node structure and the applied field signals. To roughly determine power loss, use:
- Head station: 3 W
- I/O module: 1 W
