Stop Throwing Money at LAST CENTURY'S Building Problems

Smart Executives Are Choosing WEB-8000 + Niagara Framework

WEB‑8000 controllers are compact, embedded IoT platforms designed to unify and simplify the connectivity of diverse subsystems within building automation environments. They feature full internet connectivity and innate web-serving capabilities, making them capable of offering integrated control, supervision, data logging, alarming, scheduling, and network management directly through standard web browsers—accessible both locally via Ethernet/Wi‑Fi or remotely over the internet.

The Evolution of Building Automation

Think of WEB-8000 with Niagara Framework as the smartphone moment for building automation...

Just as iPhones made flip phones obsolete overnight, this integrated platform makes traditional building management systems look antiquated.

The Cost of Waiting

For every quarter you delay modernization:

• Operational expenses continue accumulating that modern automation could eliminate
• Falling further behind competitors who've made the transition
• Increasing complexity and cost of eventual migration
• Missing opportunities to redirect savings toward growth

Emergency repairs cost significantly more than planned maintenance, making proactive system management essential for controlling operational expenses.

The question isn't whether you can afford to upgrade—it's whether you can afford not to. Ready to transform operational expenses into competitive advantages?

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE WEB-8000 CONTROLLER

Optimized for Niagara Framework – WEBs‑N4™

The controllers run Niagara's latest iteration, delivering enhanced HTML5-based web interfaces, advanced charting, clean data visualizations, streamlined device management, and heightened reporting and security features.

Modular, Global-Ready Hardware

Designed for easy installation, the WEB‑8000 features a modular design enabling tool-less setup. It supports up to four additional expansion modules for RS‑232, RS‑485, and LonWorks® communication protocols.

Flexible Licensing

Licensing is capacity-based—defined by the number of devices and points rather than static resource constraints—allowing scalable, cost-effective growth.

Scalable & Remote I/O

Remote I/O modules like IO‑R‑16 and IO‑R‑34 extend monitoring and control capabilities up to 4,000 ft away via RS‑485, supporting up to 250+ I/O points per controller. The IO‑R‑34 can power multiple IO‑R‑16 units and enables flexible deployment in distributed setup.

Certification & Safety

WEB‑8000 controllers are certified for UL 916, CE EN 61326‑1, FCC Part 15 (Subparts B & C), C‑UL to CSA C22.2 No. 205‑M1983, 1999/5/EC R&TTE, CCC, SRRC, RSS, and RoHS compliance.
