New from ControlByWeb
Flexible by Design. Built for the Edge.
EdgeTech is our most advanced industrial control and I/O platform, combining programmable logic, local processing, and a modular architecture built around your application. Execute custom control logic directly at the edge, collect and process physical data, and coordinate connected equipment while integrating with industrial software, systems, cloud platforms, and enterprise applications.
Built on ControlByWeb’s Industrial Control Foundation
EdgeTech is the newest control and I/O platform from ControlByWeb, designed to bring the same
reliability our customers depend on to a modern, modular, browser-configurable platform built for
today’s connected industrial environments.
Collect
Universal analog and digital I/O
Sensors, contacts, voltage, current, resistance, RTD, frequency, and temperature.
Control
Local logic, automation, & PID
Embedded JavaScript, dashboards, process logic, reporting, and local execution.
Connect

Built for the Edge
Universal I/O, Universal Application
Configure universal I/O for digital input, digital output, analog input, analog output, resistance, RTD, frequency, and temperature sensing. Connect a wide variety of sensors and equipment on one platform, reduce the need for dedicated I/O hardware, and adapt as application requirements change.
Edge Programmable, Zero Latency
Work directly through a browser without separate licensed programming software. EdgeTech features browser-based configuration, embedded JavaScript, local dashboards, data visualization, reporting, external log storage, and PID capability.
web source — is organized the same way, making complex control and integration
projects easier to build and maintain.
Open Communication, Flexible Integration
Bridge the gap between physical equipment and software. Built with an Open API,
EdgeTech is essential for industrial SaaS, AI, SCADA, OEM, and data-platform companies that need reliable field data and local action.
Made in the USA
Designed, manufactured, and supported in the USA. EdgeTech reflects our commitment to American manufacturing and direct, knowledgeable support. Our support is never outsourced. When you contact us, you’ll speak with an expert where your product was made. EdgeTech is also TAA and NDAA compliant.
Modular Expansion, Chassis-Free Design
The same DIN-rail lineup scales from a single controller to a full centralized I/O system. Add up to 32 I/O expansions to match your exact mix of relays, digital I/O, universal I/O, and PoE without re-engineering the platform. EdgeTech I/O Expansions communicate over CAN bus connection. An additional 32 X-Series expansion modules can be used with an EdgeTech controller. Peer to peer communication allows for distributed systems.
