X-408™ | Web-Enabled Digital Input Module
X-408 features 8 digital inputs and a built-in web-server.
ControlByWeb Cloud
Our ControlByWeb Cloud makes accessing your data simple and secure without any of the drawbacks of cloud dependency. It provides access to our cellular devices and works with any 400 Series devices (X-400, X-405, X-410, etc.) and Wi-Fi modules (see compatible devices).
The cloud is included at no additional cost with a X-400C cellular data plan and provides remote access and enhances setup and commissioning.
With the cloud you can manage multiple locations and many devices with a single login, create parent-child account hierarchy that makes data organization easy, and log data in the cloud for easier access and easy download.
Here's what the ControlByWeb Cloud does for you:
- Easier Access
- Single Password Authentication
- Data Logging
- Parent-Child Hierarchy
- Logic Stays on the Device, Not the Cloud
- Connect Unlimited Endpoints
- Layered Security
- Connect Incompatible Devices

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.

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.
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
