Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the supply voltage range for this PLC base unit?

The WAGO PLC Base Unit 750-891 requires a DC supply voltage between 18 and 31.2 V dc.

How many Ethernet ports does this controller have?

This controller features two Ethernet ports, supporting industrial Ethernet connectivity.

Does this unit have built-in digital or analog inputs/outputs?

No, the base unit itself does not have integrated digital or analog I/O. These must be added via separate WAGO 750 Series I/O modules.

What programming software is used for the WAGO 750-891?

This controller is typically programmed using CODESYS or other compatible IEC 61131-3 development environments.

Can this PLC be used with protocols other than MODBUS TCP?

Yes, it supports MODBUS TCP and other bus systems. Specific protocol support beyond MODBUS TCP usually depends on the additional communication modules installed in the 750 Series system.

What is the memory size of this controller?

The controller has a memory size of 4000 kByte (RAM).

Is this unit suitable for DIN rail mounting?

Yes, the unit is designed for rail mounting and fits standard DIN rails.

Troubleshooting

PLC not powering on

Verify the DC power supply voltage is within the 18-31.2 V dc range and that connections are secure. Check the power supply unit itself for faults.

Ethernet communication failure

Check physical Ethernet cable connections. Ensure IP addresses are correctly configured and unique within their respective networks. Verify network switch functionality and port status.

Program not running or unexpected behavior

Review the PLC program for logic errors. Check the status indicators on the base unit and connected modules for fault codes. Ensure all necessary modules are properly seated and configured.

Inability to establish MODBUS TCP connection

Confirm that the MODBUS TCP protocol is enabled and correctly configured in the PLC program. Verify that the client and server IP addresses, ports, and slave IDs are matched and correctly set.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible network connectivity with dual Ethernet ports.
  • Supports industry-standard MODBUS TCP protocol.
  • Modular system allows for scalability and customization.
  • Compact form factor suitable for space-constrained environments.
  • Reliable performance for industrial automation applications.

Cons

  • Requires a DC power supply (18-31.2 V dc).
  • No integrated digital or analog I/O; requires separate modules.
  • Limited built-in interfaces for direct peripheral connection (e.g., no USB, RS-232).
  • Primarily designed for MODBUS TCP; support for other bus systems may require specific configuration or modules.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Power Supply: Connect a stable DC power supply (18-31.2 V dc) to the appropriate terminals on the base unit.
  2. Module Installation: Slide the base unit onto a DIN rail. Attach necessary WAGO 750 Series I/O modules and communication modules to the right side of the base unit.
  3. Network Connection: Connect the two Ethernet ports to your respective industrial networks using standard Ethernet cables.
  4. Configuration: Utilize WAGO's software tools (e.g., CODESYS) to program the PLC, configure network settings, and define communication protocols.

Compatibility:

  • This base unit is part of the WAGO 750 Series, ensuring compatibility with other modules in this extensive range.
  • It supports MODBUS TCP protocol and other bus systems, depending on installed communication modules.
  • Requires a compatible DC power supply within the specified voltage range.

Care:

  • Keep the unit free from dust and moisture. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid solvents.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the control cabinet to prevent overheating.
  • Periodically check all connections for security and integrity.
