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 client when
operating the Modbus client RTU port. The DXM uses the
client Modbus RTU bus to communicate with locally connect-
ed Modbus devices or uses the Banner wireless radio to com-
municate with remote Modbus devices.
The other Modbus RTU port is used by a host system to ac-
cess the DXM as a server device. The server Modbus RTU
port allows access all the internal registers concurrently with
the client RTU port. Set the 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 client 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 concur-
rently with Modbus RTU.
By default, Modbus TCP/IP is active. Configure the DXM us-
ing 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.
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 or server 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.
The processor's Local Registers are divided into three different types: integer, floating point, and non-volatile. When using Lo-
cal 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 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 is Modbus ID 203 and the LCD is Modbus ID 201.

Modbus ID Device
1 DX80 Performance Gateway or MultiHop ISM Radio—MultiHop wireless devices connected to the internal MultiHop radio
should be assigned Modbus addresses starting at 11.
199 Local Registers—Internal storage registers of the DXM Controller
203 Base Board Outputs—Outputs of the DXM Controller.
201 LCD Board—The user has access to the LED indicators on the DXM Controller.
All Modbus registers are defined as 16-bit Modbus Holding Registers. When connecting external Modbus server devices, on-
ly use Modbus IDs 2 through 198. The local registers, the I/O base, and the LCD IDs are fixed, but the internal radio ID can
be changed if needed.

Device Setup
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

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.
Binding and Site Survey (DXM100)
Before the ISM radio can communicate, the ISM radio within the DXM must be bound to the other radios in the wireless net-
work.
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re-
peater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.
Use the arrow keys to select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and press ENTER.
a.
Highlight the Binding menu and press ENTER.
b.
◦
◦
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 ro-
tary dials will override that setting.
3.
Start binding mode on the DXM radio by pressing ENTER on the DXM radio.

For MultiHop radios without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the device ID to assign to the Mul-
tiHop radio about to enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this device ID to the next radio that enters binding
mode. Only bind one server radio at a time.
For MultiHop radios with rotary dials: Use the MultiHop radio's rotary dials to assign a device ID . The left ro-
tary 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.

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in-
tended 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pro-
cedure. 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.

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

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 configu-
ration 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.
The changes are saved on the DXM and the new IP address will be used.

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 de-
tect 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 avail-
able 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 re-
connect 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 "Product Support and Maintenance" on page 73 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 de-
vice.
Example: DXM Controller Configuration with Software
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 server device and save the data
into the local registers.
The software only loads a file to the DXM. Internal parameter settings that are changed in the tool but not saved to the file will
not be sent to the device.
Modify Multiple Registers
Modify a range of registers from the Local Registers › Local Registers in Use › Modify Multiple Registers screen.
Select which parameter fields to modify. Most parameters have three selections.
Unchanged—nochanges
Default—changetodefaultsettings
Set—modifytheparameter.Otherselectionswillappearbasedontheparameter.
