WAGO: PFC300 Controller

Sept 10, 2025 - WAGO PFC300 Controller 1

September 10, 2025

PFC300 Controller: An Effective Choice for Process Industry & Building Automation

The PFC300 Controller is a compact controller designed for the modular WAGO I/O System. In addition to network and fieldbus interfaces, it supports digital and analog modules as well as specialty modules from the 750/753 Series.

Two Ethernet interfaces with an integrated switch enable line topology wiring or communication across two separate networks in distinct modes. An integrated Webserver provides user configuration options, while displaying PFC300 status information.

In addition to the process industry and building automation, typical applications for the PFC300 include standard machinery and equipment control – such as packaging, bottling, and manufacturing systems, as well as textile, metal, and wood processing machines.

    ADVANCED Motion Controls Takes Servo Drives to New Heights (and Depths) with FlexPro Extended Environment Product Line

    Advanced Motion Controls is proud to announce the addition of six new CANopen servo drives with Extended Environment capabilities to their FlexPro line. These new drives join AMC’s existing EtherCAT Extended Environment FlexPro drives, making the FlexPro line the go-to solution for motion control applications in harsh environments.

    Many motion control applications take place in conditions that are less than ideal, such as extreme temperatures, high and low pressures, shocks and vibrations, and contamination. Electronics, including servo drives, can malfunction or sustain permanent damage in these conditions.
