Connectivity—TheDXM Controller's wired and wireless connectivity options make it easy to share data between local and
remote equipment. The cellular modem option eliminates the need for IT infrastructures to connect remote equipment for
sensing and control to IIoT cloud services. The integrated Sure Cross® wireless radio enables Modbus connectivity to remote
sensors, indicators, and control equipment. Connect directly to any PLC and/or SCADA system for easy integration into
existing control or monitoring systems. Banner Industrial Wireless radios have two types of networks that can be used for
creating applications and solving problems.

DXM Modbus Overview
TheDXM Controllerusesinternal32-bitregisterstostoreinformation.Theprocessor'sinternalLocalRegistersserveasthe
main global pool of registers and are used as the common data exchange mechanism. External Modbus device registers can
bereadintotheLocalRegistersorwrittenfromthelocaldataregisters.
TheDXM Controller, as a Modbus client device, exchanges data using the Local Registers. Modbus over Ethernet (Modbus/
TCP)usestheLocalRegistersastheaccessibleregisterdata.
Using Action, Read/Write, and Threshold Rules allows you to manipulate the processor's Local Registers. The ScriptBasic
programming capabilities extends the use of Local Registers with variables to create a flexible programming solution for more
complexapplications.

Binding and Conducting a Site Survey with the ISM Radio...
Before the ISM radio can communicate, the ISM radio within the DXM must be bound to the other radios in the wireless
network.
UsetheDXMLCDmenutobindexternalradiostotheinternalISMradio.
If you are having difficulty running binding or site surveys, it may be because of the speed of the XML configuration file or
script running on the DXM. To resolve this issue, try one of the following options:
Disable the XML and script by setting DIP switch 4 on the processor board to ON and cycling the power to the DXM.
After binding the devices, turn DIP switch 4 back OFF and cycle power again to return to normal operation of the XML
andscript.
AdjusttheXMLorscripttoslowdowntheRTUreadorwriterules.
UploadablankXML,bindalldevices,thenuploadtheconfiguredXMLfile.
Bind a DX80 Node to a DXM and Assign the Node Address
Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to. After a Gateway
enters binding mode, the Gateway automatically generates and transmits a unique extended addressing (XADR), or binding,
code to all Nodes within range that are also in binding mode. The extended addressing (binding) code defines the network,
andallradioswithinanetworkmustusethesamecode.
Bind a MultiHop Radio to a DXM and Assign the Device ID
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate radios by two (2) meters when running the
binding procedure. Put only one DXM MultiHop client radio into binding mode at a time to prevent binding the server or
repeaterradiostothewrongclientradio.
Binding MultiHop radios ensures all MultiHop radios within a network communicate only with other radios within the same
network. The MultiHop client radio automatically generates a unique binding code when it enters binding mode. This code is
transmitted to all radios within range that are also in binding mode. After a repeater/server radio is bound, the repeater/server
radio accepts data only from the client radio to which it is bound. The binding code defines the network, and all radios within
anetworkmustusethesamebindingcode.
Applypowertoallthedevices.
Separate radios by two meters when running the binding procedure. Put only one DXM Gateway into binding mode at

Conduct a Site Survey from the DXM
Conduct a Site Survey to verify the wireless communication between the radios within your wireless network. Conduct the
site survey when the Nodes and DXM Controller are at the proposed installation sites to determine each radio's signal
strengthwiththeDXM.
For a DX80 network, the Gateway controls the site survey and the results display on the LCD. Running a site survey on a
DX80 network does not affect the throughput of the DX80 network. The DX80 Gateway-Node system can run a site survey
analysis while the network is operational. For a MulitHop network, the client device passes the site survey request to the
intended Modbus server device. The Site Survey runs and the results display on the LCD. Running a site survey on a
MultiHopnetworkstopsallnetworktraffictothatdevice.
If the Site Survey fails (100 missed packets), verify the radios are at least 10 feet from the DXM and/or rerun the binding
procedure. If you find poor signal quality, common solutions include moving the DXM to a more central location relative to the
Nodesorusinghigher-gainantennasontheDXM.ContactyourlocalBannerEngineeringrepresentativeforassistance.
Set a Static IP Address
Change the IP address of the DXM to connect to a local area network, Modbus TCP/IP host controller, or EtherNet/IP host
controller.
There are two ways to set the IP address: using the DXM's LCD menu or using the configuration software to change the XML
file. IP addresses entered into the LCD menu system override the IP addresses in the XML configuration files. To use the IP
addressessetintheXMLconfigurationfile,cleartheIPaddressesfromthemenusystem.

Application Mode
The MultiHop radio operates in either Modbus mode or transparent mode. Use the internal DIP switches to select the mode
of operation. All MultiHop radios within a wireless network must be in the same mode.
ModbusmodeusestheModbusprotocolforroutingpackets.InModbusmode,aroutingtableisstoredineachparentdevice
to optimize the radio traffic. This allows for point-to-point communication in a multiple data radio network and
acknowledgment/retryofradiopackets.Toaccessaradio'sI/O,theradiosmustberunninginModbusmode.
Intransparentapplicationmode,allincomingpacketsarestored,thenbroadcasttoallconnecteddataradios.Thedata
communication is packet-based and not specific to any protocol. The application layer is responsible for data integrity. For
one-to-one data radios it is possible to enable broadcast acknowledgment of the data packets to provide better throughput. In
transparentmode,thereisnoaccesstotheradio'sI/O.
Baud Rate and Parity
The baud rate (bits per second) is the data transmission rate between the device and whatever it is physically wired to. Set
the parity to match the parity of the device you are wired to.
Disable Serial
Disable an unused local serial connection to reduce the power consumption of a data radio powered from the solar assembly
orfrombatteries.Allradiocommunicationsremainoperational.
