With Tuxera FlashFX™ flash management software, WAGO was able to design the most responsive PLC on the market.
The need for speedy PLCs
The challenge
WAGO PLCs use the Mentor Graphics NUCLEUS operating system, an OS which has been popular with the industrial segment for its small footprint and simple license structure. WAGO needed a flash file system that could meet their requirement for fast writes to the flash.
In their search to find the right flash manager, WAGO discovered Tuxera’s FlashFX™ products. Engineers on the project were immediately impressed by the simple integration process. Our FlashFX products comes standard with drop-in support for over 300 well-known flash parts, a feature that enabled the WAGO team to integrate Tuxera’s FlashFX solution quickly.
What really impressed WAGO engineers however, was that the write performance to the flash was 40-95% faster than the other solutions they had tried. “We were impressed by the seamless integration of Datalight* FlashFX Pro into the existing software,” said Jurgen Gorka, WAGO Product Manager. “That combined with the superior performance of the Datalight product makes it an easy choice for both WAGO and our customers.”
