Benefits of Cellular I/O Controllers

Simplify Installation

Our devices come out of the box with powerful features like our no-code browser-based UI, peer-to-peer device communications, and a configurable control page. These features simplify implementation and give technicians the confidence that their systems will work correctly.

Keep IT Happy

ControlByWeb cellular IoT controllers are ideal when existing networks are unavailable or where network requirements are stringent. IT managers are rightly concerned about security and the devices they allow. The approval process can be difficult. For many, skipping the local network by installing cellular devices makes a lot of business sense. Get your data faster and keep networks separate and secure.

Save Money On Fewer Devices

An embedded cellular gateway keeps costs low by limiting third-party devices needed to remotely monitor and/or control an asset or a process. Our controllers work great with other hardware, but why buy another device when you don’t need to? Save money and make your installation as easy as possible.

Ensure a Consistent Connection

Wired networks are generally considered to be the most reliable but that doesn’t mean it never fails. ControlByWeb cellular IoT devices have the ability to use cellular networking as the primary or as a failover network if ethernet goes out, ensuring that your data keeps flowing, regardless of your wired network conditions.

Why Cellular IoT?

Monitoring and control tasks vary widely from one application to the next. Cellular networking on IoT logic controllers adds the network flexibility you need to build solutions quickly and effectively.

Remote Monitoring Made Easy

There are a virtually unlimited number of ways to capture and use edge data. Some methods are (much) easier than others. We design controllers that are simple to set up thanks to the intuitive no-code Task Builder and browser-based UI. Our new cellular I/O modules go a step further with an embedded SIM for a true drop-in solution that’s ready to go in minutes.

That same capability using a non-cellular controller would require a wireless networking infrastructure like point-to-point 900 MHz radios, routes, cables and other hardwiring, etc. Then there’s the need for installation and setup of multiple third-party pieces of hardware. This is certainly viable but does increase cost and complexity.

Integrate your solutions faster and with less headaches by choosing ControlByWeb cellular IoT devices.

Cellular-Enabled I/O for Remote Monitoring

Wide Carrier Coverage

eUICC (eSIM) technology allows ControlByWeb cellular devices to operate across multiple carriers. This allows us to optimize cellular coverage based on your location.

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 your ControlByWeb device.

Primary or Backup

With ControlByWeb cellular PLCs, 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

ControlByWeb cellular PLCs include Peer-to-Peer Communication 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

ControlByWeb 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

Every 400-series ControlByWeb I/O device 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.

Cloud Compatible

The ControlByWeb Cloud simplifies monitoring, control, and data logging. It provides access to your controller but keeps logic on the device so you are not dependent on network connectivity. Get the best of both worlds with our reliable platform. A cloud subscription is included with your cellular data plan at no additional cost.
