The WAGO Edge Controller 400, with its multi-core CPU performance, is a flexible and open control platform for many applications. Applications in energy, industrial IoT and general automation can be flexibly deployed using th Linux ® -based ctrlX OS operating system with app technology. The WAGO Edge Controller 400 can be readily adapted to a specific task using app technology that is known from mobile phones. Apps for high-level languages, databases, IEC 61131 programming, EtherCAT® , visualization and many other functions are available. In addition to extensive diagnostic functions, the data layer is an important component of the WAGO Edge Controller 400. This data layer manages all information available on the controller and all apps can securely access this information. This data layer is thus the data backbone of the machine because all data is available to the applications transparently and in real-time.
