WAGO Corporation?s 750-882 ETHERNET 2.0 Network Redundancy Controller Redundant Controllers on the Waterfront A redundant control network can be efÞ ciently implemented aboard ships if control units have two independent network ports and a redundancy-capable application program is used. Meet- ing these requirements allows both standard components and protocols to be used for the networks. In the networks, address management is performed by one PC each for both networks. WAGOÕs 750-882 Controller can serve as a control unit since it supports redundant networks via two independent network ports. Sensor and actuator integration is performed via I/O modules connected to the controller. The controller is programmable to IEC 61131-3 and has 1 Mbyte memory for PLC program codes. It therefore provides PLC functionality and is capable of control- ling tasks. The controller uses MODBUS/TCP as the application protocol, but also supports other automation and IT protocols.
