WAGO 857-801 Temperature Signal Conditioner

Model Identifier 857-801
Official Part Number 857-801
GTIN Standard 4045454502713

Technical Overview

Temperature signal conditioner for RTD sensors with configurable current or voltage analog output. The module supports Pt100, Pt200, Pt500, and Pt1000 sensors, as well as resistors up to 4.5 kΩ, and can be configured via DIP switch or WAGO Interface Configuration Software. It accepts 2-, 3-, and 4-wire sensor connections, provides 3-way electrical isolation, and includes diagnostic functions for wire break, short circuit, and measurement range underflow/overflow. The device is DIN-rail mounted and powered from 24 VDC.

Industrial Applications

1. RTD-to-PLC analog temperature interface

Converts Pt100/Pt1000 field sensors into a standard 4–20 mA or 0–10 V signal for PLC analog input cards.

Problem Solved

Eliminates direct RTD wiring to the control cabinet and standardizes diverse temperature sensors into one analog format.

2. Long-distance temperature monitoring on DIN-rail panels

Used in remote panels where low-level RTD signals need conditioning before transmission over longer analog runs.

Problem Solved

Reduces susceptibility to noise and cable resistance effects by converting the sensor signal into a robust analog output with isolation.
