how much is the cheapest wago plc?

[ganutenator]

yes, I know. ask my distributor.
problem is he reminds me of a used car salesman. Just asking for a second opinion.

I don't know about the cheapest but we sell some... really only what we use on our trainers but take a look, we also have I/O of needed

The Weintek MT8101iE HMI. Does it have a pdf reader?

Post a model number and some folks might be able to tell you what they buy that one for.

A modern 750-8202 with dual Ethernet is going to be more expensive than the two-generations-old-but-still-available 750-812 with serial Modbus.

What's it going to take to get you into this controller, today, Sir ?

No.

From EB Pro manual V5.06.01, 2017/03/28:
"PDF Reader object enables viewing of PDF documents on HMI.
Please note that this object is currently available only for cMT3151 model, with OS version 20160301 and later."

Very nice impression of a car sales... if this automation stuff does not work out for yah you have a good shot at making it in car sales

These Germans seem to have prices, showing the 750-843 as their cheapest.

that one doesn't look programmable. but i don't know wago. the 750-814 looks like it would work at $327.46

Hello gatunator;
In Wago language, a Fieldbus Controller is programmable CPU.
A Fieldus Coupler is not, it acts as a remote-I/O station head on the communication network it handles.
So the 750-843 fieldbus controller Ethernet TCP/IP is a valid programmable CPU, albeit an early version of their Ethernet controllers.

Hope this helps,
Daniel Chartier

I loved the phoenix version of the wago plc btw. especially how i could do raw ethernet. and the unlocked functions that were still in beta. only dislike was how i couldn't rename a tag. that, and it don't do modbus well (could be wrong on that).

Don't buy the cheapest. The few Euro you'll save on your purchase will be eaten up in a few minutes by programming.

I recommend looking at the 75-852. It's their ECO PLC. Still uses CoDeSys 2 and supports EIP and MBTCP/UDP but is limited in the module count (by backplane current also) and doesn't support Web Visualization.

Good luck,
