I/O Base Board—The DXM I/O base board provides connections for all inputs, outputs and power. The I/O base board
contains a 12 V solar controller that accepts connections to a solar panel and sealed lead acid (SLA) battery. The battery
connection can also be used with line power to provide a battery backup in case of line power outages.
ISM Radio—The ISM radio, either a MultiHop or DX80 Gateway, fits on the I/O base board in the parallel sockets. Install the
ISM radio so the U.FL antenna connection is to the side with the SMA antenna connectors. Connect the U.FL cable from the
ISM radio U.FL to the right side U.FL connector. The ISM radio boards are available with either a 900 MHz radio (North
America) or a 2.4 GHz radio (world-wide).
Processor—The processor board plugs into the base board using the two 20 pin socket connectors. The board sits above
the ISM radio socket and held by the base board standoffs. Position the processor board so the USB and RJ45 Ethernet
connection is to the front, away from the SMA antenna connections.
Cellular Modem (Optional)—The optional cellular modem (purchased separately) board plugs into the processor board with
the U.FL antenna connection to the left. Attach the antenna cable from the cellular modem to the left U.FL connection on the
base board.
In some DXM models, the cellular modem may be replaced with an ISM radio. In this configuration, position the top ISM radio
antenna connection to the left of the SMA antenna connector.
LCD (Display) Board—The top housing contains the LCD board. The display board is connected to the base board using a
ribbon cable with a 20 pin connector.

XML Config File
The configuration software configures the DXM by creating an XML file that is transferred to the DXM using a USB or
Ethernet connection. The DXM can also receive the XML configuration file from a Web server using a cellular or Ethernet
connection.
This configuration file governs all aspects of the DXM operation.
The wireless network devices are a separate configurable system. Use the DX80 User Configuration Software to configure
the internal DX80 wireless Gateway and the attached wireless Nodes. Use the MultiHop Configuration Software if the internal
radio is a MultiHop device.
All tools can be connected to the DXM using a USB cable or an Ethernet connection.
1.7 DXM Automation Protocols
The DXM supports the following automation protocols.
Modbus RTU
The DXM manages two separate physical ports running the Modbus RTU protocol. The DXM is the Modbus Master
when operating the Modbus master RTU port. The DXM uses the master Modbus RTU bus to communicate with
locally connected Modbus devices or uses the Banner wireless radio to communicate with remote Modbus devices.
The other Modbus RTU port is used by a host system to access the DXM as a slave device. The slave Modbus RTU
port allows access all the internal registers concurrently with the master RTU port. Set the slave Modbus ID using
the LCD menu: SYSTEM CONFIG > DXM Modbus ID.
By default, the Modbus RTU ports are active. Configure the port parameters using the configuration software.
Modbus TCP/IP
A host system acting as a Modbus master can access the DXM using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet.
Standard Modbus port 502 is used by the DXM for all Modbus TCP/IP requests.
All internal registers are available to the host system concurrently with Modbus RTU.
By default, Modbus TCP/IP is active. Configure the DXM using Modbus TCP rules in the configuration software.
EtherNet/IP™
The Ethernet port is actively running EtherNet/IP. From the factory the DXM is configured to read and write registers
on DX80 wireless devices 1 through 16. Custom configurations can be set using the configuration software.
By default, EtherNet/IP is active.

1.8 DXM Modbus Overview
The DXM 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, as a Modbus master or slave, 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.
The processor's Local Registers are divided into three different types: integer, floating point, and non-volatile. When using
Local Registers internally, the user can store 32-bit numbers. Using Local Registers with external Modbus devices follows the
Modbus standard of a 16-bit holding register. Local Registers are accessible as Modbus ID 199.
Accessing the I/O base board and the LCD follows the same communication as an external Modbus device. Each device has
an ID number to uniquely identify itself. The I/O base board is Modbus ID 200 and the LCD is Modbus ID 201.

2 Quick Start Guide
2.1 Device Setup
2.1.1 Apply Power to the Controller
Follow these instructions to apply 12–30 V DC power to the controller using a wall plug.
Equipment used:
•DXM Wireless Controller
•MQDMC-401 0.3 m (1 ft) cordset with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect fitting
•PSW-24-1 Wall plug power supply; 24 V DC, 1 A
Important:
•Never operate a 1 Watt radio without connecting an antenna
• Operating 1 Watt radios without an antenna connected will damage the radio circuitry.
• To avoid damaging the radio circuitry, never apply power to a Sure Cross® Performance or Sure
Cross MultiHop (1 Watt) radio without an antenna connected.
1. Connect the brown wire from the MQDMC-401 cordset to the DXM's PW (+ power) terminal.
2. Connect the blue wire from the MQDMC-401 cordset to the DXM's GD (- ground) terminal.
3. Connect the PSW-24-1 power supply to the MQDMC-401 cordset.
4. Plug in the PSW-24-1 wall plug power supply.
2.1.2 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.
1. 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
a time to prevent binding to the wrong Gateway.
2. Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
a) Use the arrow keys to select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and press ENTER.
b) Highlight the Binding menu and press ENTER.
3. Assign the Node address to the Node.
• For Nodes without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the Node address to assign to the DX80 Node
about to enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this Node address to the next Node that enters binding mode.
Only bind one Node at a time.
• For Nodes with rotary dials: Use the Node's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal Node Address (between 01 and
47). The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (0 through 4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0
through 9) of the Node Address. You can leave the DXM "Bind to" address set to 1 because the Node's rotary
dials will override that setting.
4. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by pressing ENTER on the DXM radio.
5. Enter binding mode on the DX80 Node.
• For housed radios, triple-click button 2.
Sure Cross® DXM150 and 1500-Bx Wireless Controllers
www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 15

• For board-level radios, triple-click the button.
• For Nodes without buttons, refer to the Node's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.
The left and right LEDs flash alternately and the Node searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the Node binds,
the LEDs stay solid momentarily, then they flash together four times. The Node automatically exits binding mode and
reboots.
6. Label the Node with the assigned address number for future reference.
7. Press BACK on the DXM to exit binding mode for that specific Node address.
The Node LEDs continue to flash red until the DXM exits binding mode with that Node address.
8. Repeat these steps for as many DX80 Nodes as are needed for your network.
9. When you are finished binding, press BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
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
binding procedure. Put only one DXM MultiHop master radio into binding mode at a time to prevent binding the slave radios
to the wrong master radio.
Binding MultiHop radios ensures all MultiHop radios within a network communicate only with other radios within the same
network. The MultiHop radio master automatically generates a unique binding code when the radio master enters binding
mode. This code is then transmitted to all radios within range that are also in binding mode. After a repeater/slave is bound,
the repeater/slave radio accepts data only from the master to which it is bound. The binding code defines the network, and all
radios within a network must use the same binding code.
1. Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
a) Use the arrow keys select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and press ENTER.
b) Highlight the Binding menu and press ENTER.
2. Assign the device address to the repeater or slave radios. Valid device IDs are 11 through 60.
• For MultiHop radios without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the device ID to assign to the MultiHop
radio about to enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this device ID to the next radio that enters binding mode.
Only bind one slave radio at a time.
• For MultiHop radios with rotary dials: Use the MultiHop radio's rotary dials to assign a device ID . The left rotary
dial represents the tens digit (1 through 6) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0 through 9) of the device
ID. You can leave the DXM "Bind to" address set to 1 because the MultiHop's rotary dials will override that setting.
3. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by pressing ENTER on the DXM radio.
4. After entering binding mode on the DXM, put the MultiHop repeater or slave radio into binding mode.
• For housed radios, triple-click button 2.
• For board-level radios, triple-click the button.
• For radios without buttons, refer to the radio's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.
After binding is completed, the MultiHop radio automatically exits binding mode and begins operation.
5. Press BACK on the DXM to exit binding mode for that specific device address.
The Multihop radio's LEDs continue to flash red until the DXM exits binding mode with that MultiHop radio.
6. Label the MultiHop radio with the assigned address number for future reference.
7. Repeat these steps, changing the device address, for as many MultiHop radios as are needed for your network.
8. When you are finished binding, press BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
All radio devices begin to form the network after the master data radio exits binding mode.
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 master device passes the site survey request to the
intended Modbus slave 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.
1. On the DXM: Use the arrow buttons to select the ISM Radio menu and press ENTER.
2. Select the Site Survey menu and press ENTER.
3. Use the Up or Down arrows to select the device ID number and press ENTER to run the site survey with that radio.
The site survey results display as green, yellow, red, and missed packets. Green indicates the highest signal
strength, then yellow, and red. Missed packets were not received.
4. When you are finished running the Site Survey, press Back twice to return to the main menu and exit site survey
mode.
Sure Cross® DXM150 and 1500-Bx Wireless Controllers
16 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767

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.
2.1.3 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.

IT department can provide these settings if needed.
2.2 Configuration Instructions
2.2.1 Configuring the Controller
Configure the DXM using the configuration software.
To configure the DXM, connect the DXM's USB or Ethernet port to a computer.
The DXM Configuration Software allows the user to define parameters for the
DXM, then saves the configuration in an XML file on the PC.
After the configuration file is saved, upload the XML configuration file to the
DXM for operation.
This quick start guide outlines the basic operations to set up a DXM using the
configuration software. For a more comprehensive explanation of features,
refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n 209933).

2.2.2 Introduction to Traditional Setup Mode
This section will walk you through the traditional method of setting up the DXM Configuration Software and communicating
with a connected DXM device. Version 4 of the configuration software supports multiple DXM device models, each of which
incorporates different features.
As of DXM Configuration Software v4.10.28, the Simple Setup procedure is only available with the DXM100, DXM700,
DXM1000, DXM1200, and DXM1500 models.
As soon as a DXM model is connected to your computer, the software automatically detects the correct model and loads the
appropriate screens. You may also manually select which model of DXM you are configuring if you intend to create a
configuration file without connecting a device. This ensures that the interface and the configuration file use the correct
features.
Not all screens are available for all models. To change to another model of DXM, go to the Connect to DXM screen and use
the drop-down list to select another model. If the active configuration is incompatible with the selected model, you will be
prompted to either proceed and wipe out the active configuration or cancel the model change and preserve the configuration.
Figure 10. Traditional Setup opening screen
Connect via USB or Ethernet. If connecting via Ethernet, set network parameters through the DXM LCD menu in the System
Cfg > Ethernet menu. Network parameters can also be set within the configuration software. Setting parameters on the LCD
menu overrides the parameters stored in the configuration file. To use the network parameters in the configuration file, reset
the network parameters on the DXM LCD menu.
Since the DXM-R90x connects only via TCP, its Connect to DXM screen differs from the other DXM models. When the
Select DXM Model drop-down is set to DXM-R90x, a new network discovery table is displayed. Click Scan Network for
DXMs to detect DXM devices on the host computer's network. Discovered DXMs are listed in the network discovery table.
Double-click any row entry to connect to that DXM. If the DXM's IP address is already known, the standard TCP connection
option is available below the network discovery table.
Banner recommends disconnecting the COMM port through the Device menu before turning off power or disconnecting the
USB cable. Use Device > Reboot to restart the DXM if needed; the tool automatically disconnects the COMM port, then
reconnect it again.
Tip: If connection attempts are failing (Application Status Icon in the footer of the tool is Red), close the
configuration software and disconnect the USB cable from the computer. Reconnect the cable, launch the
software, and attempt connecting again.
If you cannot connect to your DXM Controller, refer to Troubleshooting on page 83 for more information.
Important: Any model of DXM may connect to the configuration software regardless of which device model
is selected in the tool. Compatibility is checked before configuration files are uploaded to the device.
Configuration Example: Reading Registers on a Modbus Slave Device
The local registers are the main global pool of registers that are defined by the user to store data within the DXM. The local
registers are listed on the Local Registers > Local Registers in Use screen.
The bottom status bar displays the communications status, application status, and the DXM Configuration Software version.
In this short example, we will configure the DXM to read six registers on an external Modbus Slave device and save the data
into the local registers.

1. Enter the Starting register and Ending register.
2. Select the value to change using the drop-down list next to each value.
3. Enter the new value in the field provided.
4. To push register values to the web server, set Cloud Permissions to read.
If the Cloud Permissions are set to Read, the web server only views data from the device and cannot write data to
the device. If the permissions are set to Write, the web server only writes to the device and cannot read the data. If
the permissions are set to Read/Write, the web server can read the data from the device and write to the device from
the web.
5. Click Modify Registers to save and apply the changes.
Define an RTU Read Rule
Follow these steps to create a new read rule.
This example screen shows a read rule created to read six registers (address 1 through 6), from Modbus Slave 4. The results
are stored in the Local Registers 1 through 6.
