I've been getting some advertising related to the attractively packaged Wago Compact Controller, model CC100, lately.
As far as I can tell it's a small packaged version similar to a 750-series controller, running CodDeSys 3.5 with some onboard I/O. It might be similar to how CompactLogix L16 has "local" I/O that is really just POINT I/O modules in a fixed assembly.
Instead of offering "e!****PIT" for programming, Wago is providing a Device Support Package that you can install into a stock CoDeSys 3.5.16 (or so) development environment. The actual part number that shows when you create a new project is "0751-9301 WAGO Compact Controller 100".
I can't figure out pricing or actual availability: Wago tells me to call my distributor, but none of the distributors in my area that carry Wago product actually admit to carrying Wago PLC hardware.
I even saw a YouTube video from Kurt Braun, Wago's excellent Internet marketing engineer, showing how to disable the CoDeSys runtime and use the controller with Node-Red instead.
Has anyone else on the Forum taken a close look at these little controllers ?
