  • Building Automation & Access Control
  • Process Control
  • Remote/Field Monitoring & Control
  • Dry Contact Monitoring/Notifications

Double the Coverage

Intelligent dual SIM technology allows ControlByWeb cellular devices to connect to the best network available. It will automatically switch networks as needed to maintain a strong connection.

No WiFi Necessary

Cellular is a great option for applications where no wired networking infrastructure exists. No third-party software or hardware is required—everything you need from a PLC is included.

Primary or Backup

You have the option of using cellular as the primary connection or as a backup when the local network fails. In this mode, if a ping or outgoing message fails, the module will switch to cellular.

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

Cellular devices include 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

ControlByWeb PLCs are 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.
