Radio clock in the fieldbus node

Besides having to be real-time, knowing the real time is often important for various automation tasks. Accurate time-of-day information is now available for the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM via radio signals, even for the most remote applications. Integrated in a standard housing, the RTC module 750-640 can be connected to any WAGO fieldbus node, providing the current time to the system. The time can be adjusted from a DCF77, WWVB or MSF signal. By default the module is set to receive DCF77 signals. An optional external antenna can be connected directly to the module, without the need of an additional power supply. In case of a power failure the time signal will be continued for up to six hours.

Integrated clock timer functionality simplifies time-triggered operations for an external controller, as well as for a WAGO Programmable Fieldbus Controller. Available function blocks help to ease programming efforts. The new module is in stock and available for immediate delivery.
