SmartController™ Classic

Local automation, secure remote monitoring and control — in one IP67 device.

Three Devices in One

The SmartController™ combines the functions of a PLC, HMI, and secure cloud gateway into a single device. The 2.7″ sunlight-readable LCD lets operators view every process value and change setpoints and modes locally. Customize automation logic in Python, expand I/O over Modbus RTU, and stay connected to the cloud over a secure, double-encrypted cellular link.

The IP67-rated PETG-CF enclosure is waterproof, UV-stable, and chemically resistant — it doesn't degrade in direct sunlight and doesn't need a secondary enclosure. Two M12 connectors are pre-wired for power and two RS-485 Modbus ports (client and server).

Key Features

  • Sunlight Readable LCD — View all process values, change modes and setpoints locally
  • Python Programmable — Customize SmartLift, SmartPump, or write your own application
  • Secure Cellular — CAT-M1 on AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon; AES-256 double encryption
  • Expandable I/O — Up to 192 digital and analog I/O via m.Smart field I/O
  • Two Modbus RTU Ports — Client and server, M12 connectorized
  • IP67 Rated — Chemically resistant PETG-CF, no secondary enclosure needed
  • 10-Minute Field Replaceable — Auto-config from the cloud
