Modern, decentralised applications require automated systems that guarantee high connectivity and maximum precision. The new WAGO I/O System Field, with a protection class of IP67, is a reliable solution offering high performance, designed for time-sensitive networking (TSN), and is unshakeable in the harshest environmental conditions.

The IP67-rated I/O System Field is optimised for dependable, cabinet-free automation. The modules mount exactly where you need them – at the heart of the action, close to sensors and actuators. This adaptability reduces the required cabling and simplifies commissioning, maintenance, and diagnostics. The system offers no-compromise protection with pressure-cast zinc housings for extremely harsh environments or robust yet lightweight plastic housings for mobile applications. The modules operate reliably at temperatures ranging from −25 to +70°C (- 13°F to +158°F) and are immune to electromagnetic interference due to internal shielding. Slim housing variants and lateral mounting options provide more space.

Innovative load management ensures that the system’s power is fully utilised via supply and output current load management. Current and voltage can be recorded and evaluated per channel. Overload limits can be set for individual channels. As a result, errors can be detected faster and more differentiated in the event of faults – errors are also more easily predicted, which is essential for future trends such as predictive maintenance.

In combination with IO-Link, the IO System Field fully demonstrates its strengths as a flexible “IO distributor” for both data collection and distribution. The prominent communication standard enables seamless data flow from the control to the sensor and actuator level. This considerably simplifies configuration and cabling. 

Furthermore, completely new possibilities arise for diagnostics, parameterisation and device identification.

Whether on a packaging machine or a robot arm, the modules of the I/O System Field mount exactly where you need them – at the heart of the action, close to sensors and actuators.
