Introducing the SureCross™ DX80 Wireless System
The SureCross™ DX80 wireless I/O network provides reliable monitoring without the
burden of wiring or conduit installation and can operate independently or in conjunction
with a PLC and/or PC software.
The SureCross DX80 network is a deterministic system—the network identifies when
the radio signal is lost and drives relevant outputs to user-defined conditions. Once the
radio signal is reacquired, the network returns to normal operation.
Devices may be all discrete I/O, mixed discrete and analog I/O, or FlexPower™. A
Gateway device acts as the master device within each radio network and initiates
communication and reporting with the Nodes. A radio network contains only one
Gateway, but can contain many Nodes. Each Node device can be connected to sensors
or output devices and reports I/O status to the Gateway.
The DX80 Gateway Pro combines, in one DX80 unit, the function of a standard
Gateway with the ability to interface to Ethernet using Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP™
protocols. The Gateway Pro has a serial port as well as an industrial Ethernet port.
To achieve the same functionality with a standard Gateway, add a DX83 Ethernet
Bridge to any standard DX80 Gateway device. The DX83 Ethernet Bridge adds the Web
page configuration ability to your system as well as the ability to interface to Ethernet
using Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP protocols. A DX83 Ethernet Bridge connected to a
DX80 Gateway functions as a DX80 Gateway Pro while allowing the Gateway to have
I/O points.
For more information on specific components, please refer to the data sheets for the
SureCross devices:

Set Network ID
Remove rotary switch access covers. Turn counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to tighten
On the Gateway, set the left rotary switch to 1.
The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1. Set to
another Network ID when operating more than one network in
the same area.
On all Nodes (within the same network), set the left
rotary switch to 1.
Assign the same NID to all devices within a single network
(hexidecimal 0-F).
Set Device Address
On the Gateway, set the right rotary switch to 0.
A device address of 0 on the Gateway displays settings for
the Gateway itself. To view settings for another device on the
network, adjust the right rotary switch on the Gateway to the
desired device address.
On the first Node (device address = 1), set the right
rotary switch to 1.
Do not change the Device ID for preconfigured kits as this
would affect the factory mapping of the I/O.
On the second Node (device address = 2), set the
right rotary switch to 2.
Continue setting the device address for each
additional Node using a unique number (...3,4,5).
Install rotary switch access covers. Please refer to
the Installation section for IP67 instructions.
A successful RF link is identified by a blinking green LED 1 on
each node.
Step 1 - Set up the Network ID and Device Address
The wireless RF network is defined by the Network ID (NID) assigned
to the Gateway and its Nodes. Each device within this common
network must have a unique Device Address assigned.
For factory configured kits, the Network ID and Device Addresses
have been assigned. Otherwise, use the Rotary Switches (shown
right) to define both the NID and Device Address for each device.
Follow the steps below to set up your DX80 network.

Setup - Ethernet Communications
System Layout
The DX80 wireless systems are configured using an Ethernet network connection and a common Web page browser. An Ethernet connection
can be established from a DX80 Gateway Pro device or a DX83 Ethernet Bridge device serially connected to the DX80 Gateway.
The Ethernet Bridge and Gateway Pro ship with an Ethernet cable. One end of the cable is a RJ45 connecter and the other end is an industrial
Ethernet connector. This cable is designed to be connected to a switch or a hub. To connect directly to a computer, use a crossover cable. The
crossover cable can be ordered as an additional accessory. For a list of the accessories, please refer to the Accessories and Replacements
parts section.
For more examples of system layouts, please refer to DX80 System Layouts, Banner document p/n 133601.

Web Page Access
Browser settings
The Web pages are served from the DX83 Ethernet Bridge or DX80 Gateway Pro device. Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer,
Netscape Navigator, or Mozilla Firefox can access the Web pages.
Set up the browser for a direct connection to the Internet. If you are experiencing problems connecting, verify the browser is not set to use a
proxy server (see Appendix A for proxy settings.) Note also that a crossover Ethernet cable is required when connecting directly from a host
computer to the DX83 Ethernet Bridge or DX80 Gateway Pro.
Network Setup
Default IP address / Host Network Settings:
The factory default IP address for the DX83 Ethernet Bridge or DX80 Gateway Pro devices is:
192.168.0.1
To change the default IP address, set up the host PC with an IP address different from the Ethernet Bridge or Gateway Pro IP addresses.* For
example, change the PC host IP address to:
Host IP address: 192.168.0.2
Open a Web browser and log into the Ethernet Bridge or Gateway Pro by typing the IP address in the browser location window.
http://192.168.0.1
Enter the following as the user name and password.
User name: system
Password: admin
The Web home page for the Ethernet Bridge or Gateway Pro displays. To log in, click on any tab at the top of the page.

Changing the IP address
Once logged into the system, use the page tabs at the top of the page to select the hierarchical path: SYSTEM > SETUP > NETWORK. To
change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click the Change IP button. The IP address change activates when the Ethernet Bridge
or Gateway Pro device reboots (power off, power on.)
IMPORTANT: Verify the new IP address is correct before cycling power to the device. Once the IP address is changed, you must enter in the
new IP address to access the Web page-based configuration screens. Write down the new IP address (and any other changed parameters on
this screen) or print this page and file for your record.
Communication Protocol
By default the Ethernet Bridge and Gateway Pro systems communicate using Modbus/TCP, but the system can also use EtherNet/IP™. To
change the system to EtherNet/IP, log in using the following user name and password:
User name: root
Password: sxi
At the bottom of the SYSTEM > SETUP > NETWORK page is a checkbox to enable EtherNet/IP. Only check this box if the Gateway Pro
system is running on an EtherNet/IP network. This change cannot be enabled from a login other than the “root” login.
After checking the EtherNet/IP Enabled box, click the Set Ports button to save any changes made to the HTTP Port, Modbus Server Port,
Telnet Port, and EtherNet/IP Enabled box.
As with the IP address change, cycle power to the Ethernet Bridge or Gateway Pro to complete this update. After the device powers up, the
changes should be registered.
