X-408 – EMI Softech

Overview

Industrial Digital Input Monitoring

Monitor 8 digital inputs using a standard web browser.

Read input states from Modbus master devices.

Configure an input for discrete, counter, or frequency measurement.

Share real-time input states with other ControlByWeb devices.

Log and graph digital input states over time.

Customizable email/text alerts based on input states.

Mirror the state of the inputs’ to relays on remote devices.

Task Builder, encryption, intuitive user interface, much more.

Applications – Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

The X-408 is ideal for applications that require discrete input monitoring over an IP network.

Discrete Input Monitoring

Use the X-408 to detect the state of buttons and switches. Send the state of the inputs to other 400 Series controllers (X-400, X-410, etc.) for real-time control.

Buttons/Switches

Monitor the on/off state of push buttons and switches. Using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, the module can be logically linked to I/O on remote modules (WebRelay, X-410, etc.) to control a variety of devices like a door locks, or lights.

Water Sensors, Float Switches, etc

Connect water sensors, float switches, etc. Configure the X-408 to send email/text alerts when the sensor is tripped.

Security Sensors

Monitor security sensors such as magnetic door/window sensors, motion sensors, loop detectors, and more. Configure the X-408 to send email/text alerts when sensors are activated during specified times.

Process Monitoring

Use the X-408 to monitor photo-detectors, limit switches, counters, etc. in manufacturing processes.

Flow Measurement

Connect flow sensors to the X-408 and configure its control page to display flow in gpm, lpm, etc., in real time.

X-408 connects to many different sensors

The X-408 can be connected to many different types of sensors

I/O Mirroring

The X-408 can be used in a larger, distributed system. The following illustration shows how the X-408 works in conjunction with other ControlByWeb products for I/O mirroring.

X-408 can be used for I/O mirroring accross multiple devices

Contact-closure sensor states connected to the X-408 are mirrored to the relay contacts on the WebRelay-Quad which are connected to a PLC’s inputs
