Need Help Choosing the Right Product?

Let our Sales Engineers identify the right solution for your application.

No WiFi Necessary

Cellular simplifies your installation and fits where no wired infrastructure exists. There’s no need for third-party resources or IT intervention—everything you need from a PLC is included with the X-400C.

Primary or Backup

With the X-400C, you have the option to use Ethernet as the primary connection to the network and cellular as a failover. This allows logging, remote access, and email alerts even if Ethernet fails.

Power Your Whole Setup

Expansion modules have a ribbon-cable expansion bus that allows for shared I/O among ControlByWeb devices. It only requires one cellular-enabled PLC to enable all connected I/O to operate wirelessly.

Built-In Connectivity

The X-400C includes an omnidirectional antenna for use with the embedded LTE-M cellular radio. The antenna is FCC compliant and will not cause interference when installed correctly.

Configurable Status Page

The X-400C is powered by a lightweight, built-in user interface. Cellular devices have additional settings within the UI where users can review their signal strength, see registration status, set cellular mode and ping interval, and more.
