Expandable I/O controllers are the ultimate solution for monitoring and controlling both small and large systems, and other systems which require a unique I/O combination.
The X-400™ is a web-enabled controller that allows for up to 32 added expansion modules and/or remote I/O devices. Expansion modules are connected directly to the X-400 via ribbon cable, or remotely with other CBW devices via P2P—allowing for monitoring and control of up to 64 I/O.
The X-400C offers wireless capability with a built-in, low-power LTE-M cellular radio. Cellular models with an annual data plan include a dual SIM that provides combined coverage through AT&T and T-Mobile, automatically switching between the two for the best coverage.
The X-600M™ is one of the most capable and flexible ControlByWeb PLCs. Add up to 64 expansion modules and remotely monitor and control up to 1,024 I/O. Create custom logic through the X-600M interface and run your application through a built-in web server and web browser.
The X-11S™ two-relay expansion module is used with an X-400™ or X-600M™ controller. The relays are 20A Form-C (SPDT) and are wired through rugged, high-current terminals. One or more X-11S expansion modules can be connected with a ribbon cable that provides both power and communication.
The X-12s™ eight-relay expansion module is used with an X-400™ or X-600M™ controller. The relays are 2.5A Form-A (SPDT) with commons tied together in two groups. A removable terminal connector provides connections to the relays. One or more X-12s expansion modules can be connected with a ribbon cable that provides both power and communication.
The X-17S™ expansion module is used with an X-400™ or X-600M™ controller. The four relays have Form-A contacts (SPST) and can be used to control moderate loads. Each input is optically isolated and allow the grounding system of equipment and the low-voltage circuits of the X-17S to be electrically separate. One or more X-17S expansion modules can be connected with a ribbon cable that provides both power and communication.
The X-18S™ expansion module is used with an X-400™ or X-600M™ controller. It has ten high-current relays (15Amp), each with Form-C contacts (SPDT). Wiring connections are made directly to the relays using 1/4″ tab terminals.
The X-19S™ expansion module is used with an X-400™ or X-600M™ controller. The X-19S has 16 relays, 16 optically-isolated digital inputs, and 4 analog inputs. Screw terminal strips provide connections to the relays and inputs. The X-19S can also be coupled with additional expansion modules to have more end points.
The X-20S™ expansion module is used with an X-400™ or X-600M™ controller. It has six high-current relays, each with Form-C contacts (SPDT), and six optically isolated digital inputs. Screw terminal strips provide connections to the relays.
The X-21S™ expansion module is used with an X-400™ or X-600M™ controller. The four relays are 2.5A Form-C/SPDT contacts. One or more X-21S™ expansion modules can be connected with a ribbon cable that provides both power and communication.
Remote I/O Modules With Unlimited I/O Combinations
ControlByWeb’s expandable I/O controllers are the ultimate solution for monitoring and controlling both small and large systems, and other systems which require a unique I/O combination. Start with an expandable I/O controller and add I/O by connecting expansion modules for a solution tailored to your specific application.
Controllers and Expansion Modules include various I/O combinations of relays, digital inputs, analog inputs, thermocouples, and a 1-Wire Bus for temperature and humidity monitoring.
On-Device Logic
Our controllers perform simple and complex control logic similar to that of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). However, unlike a PLC, our controllers are designed for web-based applications from the ground up.
Remote I/O Control & Monitoring From Anywhere
A master controller can be setup, controlled, and monitored using its built-in web server and a standard web browser which allows for remote access with no additional software or cloud services required.
Remotely Monitor & Control with the X-400(C) or X-600M
Our controllers have a built-in web server which allows you to access the controller from anywhere in the world using a standard web browser, without the need for any cloud services.

An expandable I/O controller is a master device which connects directly to expansion modules via an expansion ribbon cable. It also communicates with other stand-alone ControlByWeb devices. Expandable I/O Controllers and Expansion modules consist of various I/O combinations, such as: relays, digital inputs, analog inputs, thermocouples, and a 1-Wire Bus for temperature and humidity monitoring. Once expansion modules or stand-alone devices are added to the controller, the I/O controller can then control and monitor the I/O across all devices. The I/O controllers are connected to an IP network and can be accessed locally and remotely using a web browser. ControlByWeb I/O controllers create a centralized hub to control hundreds of devices and sensors.
How does an expandable I/O controller connect to expansion modules?
ControlByWeb expandable I/O controllers, such as the X-400 and X-600M connect to expansion modules via a 10-conductor ribbon cable which can have anywhere from 2 to 33 connectors for expansion modules on the same cable. A power injector may need to be added for more than 32 expansion modules. I/O controllers can also connect and control other devices over a local network connection.
How do I know which I/O expandable controller I need?
To find the best I/O controller for your project, the most important thing to consider is how many I/O you need to connect to the controller. The X-400 supports up to 32 devices and 64 I/O but is limited of up to 64 I/O of one type. The X-600M supports up to 128 devices and 1,024 I/O.
Network connectivity is also an important consideration. If you don’t have access to an Ethernet connection, the X-600M supports USB Wi-Fi adapters to connect to Wi-Fi networks. If you have questions, please contact our sales department, and they’d be happy to help.
Do ControlByWeb I/O controllers support user accounts?
The X-400 has 3 different users: User, Manager, Administrator. The “User” account has read/write access to the Control page and I/O. The “Manager” has the same rights as “User” plus the ability to change scheduled events. The “Administrator” has all rights including access to all settings on the device.
The X-600M supports 250 individual users, which are assigned to 1 of 4 user groups: Admin, User, Group1, Group2. The “Admin” group has access to all settings. The remaining groups (User, Group1, and Group2) can be set to have read and/or write access to each I/O on the Dashboards. Dashboard access can also be restricted based on group access when multiple dashboards are used.
WiFi is now an option on the X-410™ and X-401™! Visit the ControlByWeb blog to learn more.Dismiss
