onThe X-410 by ControlByWeb represents an Ethernet I/O control module with a solution for building high-level logic (tasks) without the requirement for scripting. It presents solutions for a variety of IIoT applications. ControlByWeb’s control and monitoring products, such as the X-410, come with a variety of inputs and output signals. All products have a built-in web server allowing the setup and access to the device using a standard web browser without the need for any cloud services.
There is no software needed, no programming required, and no subscription to purchase.
Users can create three principal types of logic (tasks) using the X-410’s web interface:
- Conditional – If sensors, switch inputs, relays, or any combination of I/O reach given trigger values, the X410 can initiate an email alert, turn on a relay, or accomplish a variety of tasks.
- Scheduled – Schedule relays to activate at preset times (to control locks, lights, pumps, generators, etc.) or to log specific I/O. Repeat scheduled tasks during certain days of the week, month, and year.
- Reboot task – Configure the X410 to ping the network and use its relay contacts to power cycle or reset a device when pings fail to respond.
The X-410 also maintains BASIC scripting for more advanced logic operations.
Users can control, monitor, and log up to 100 inputs and/or outputs. The X-410 supports peer-to-peer communication between ControlByWeb modules. It communicates with all ControlByWeb devices and messaging between X-400 series products, such as the X-400, X-401, X-405, X-418, etc. Consequently, the X-410 is able to control and monitor I/O on other X-400 Series products as if it was directly connected to the module.
The X-410 offers the capacity of logging a variety of data points such as local and remote I/O, registers, tasks, and voltage. Log entries can be made at preset intervals, scheduled times, triggered by I/O changes, or logic events. Users can schedule a daily log file to be sent via email or uploaded via FTP server.
