Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Dear All,

Is there anybody out there using PLC hardware from WAGO or Beckhoff to implement equipment protection systems (EPS) for machine protection or beamlines?

I know that WAGO or Beckhoff devices are commonly used in many facilities but I am not sure about their usage for EPS applications. We think of doing this but it would be nice to hear about other opinions/experiences. We have been very happy with these devices not least because of the convenient EPICS interface using Modbus TCP.

Any comments are much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jens
