WebAI · Current generation
One controller that speaks every generation.
Sphere's current controller platform: browser-based, natively BACnet, and backward compatible with every Sphere generation before it.
01
Runs in a web browser
A web-browser front end makes setup and configuration straightforward, with nothing extra to install.
02
Native BACnet and Modbus
BACnet IP and MS/TP, Modbus IP and RTU, with unlimited BACnet points.
03
Backward compatible
Talks to WebXL IO, Minicom and Facility equipment, so sites can upgrade in stages.
04
Spots problems early
Sphere's AI Smart technology detects and advises of system abnormalities and automates preventative maintenance schedules.
05
13 months of logging
32GB of onboard storage keeps over a year of history on the controller.
06
Live status at the panel
WebAI IOMs show live status, wire numbers and point names on a built-in OLED display.
