The network is defined by the Network ID (NID) assigned to the Gateway and its Node(s). Additionally, each device within this common network (NID) must have a unique Device Address assigned. 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.Quick Start: STEP 1 > Set Network ID & Device/Node AddressRemove rotary switch access covers. Turn counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to tightenOn the Gateway, set the Left Rotary Switch to 1. The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1On all Nodes (within the same network), set the Left Rotary Switch to 1. Assign the same NID to all devices within a single network (0-15). A-F is 10-15 respectively.On the Gateway, set the Right Rotary Switch to 0.A Device Address of 0 on the Gateway will display settings for the Gateway itself. To view settings for another device on the network, adjust the Right Rotary Switch on the Gateway to the respective Device Address.On the first Node (Device Address = 1), set the Right Rotary Switch to 1.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.SET NETWORK IDSET DEVICE ADDRESSUser Action Display/Status NotesNetwork ID (NID) Device AddressRotary Switches on Gateway & NodeA successful RF link is identified by: • The Gateway’s LED 1 is Green • The Node(s) LED 1 is Flashing GreenMultiple Networks:When more than one network is operating in the same space, assign a unique Network ID (NID) to each network (shown right).

(See pages 4-6 for instruction to Apply Power, Verify Communications, Conduct a Site Survey.) Follow this procedure if it is necessary to change the Gateway Slave ID, Baud Rate and Parity.All steps (Power up, Site Survey, Applying Devices) are identical to the stand-alone system procedures, except that the Gateway has no hard-wired inputs or outputs enabled or linked. Instead, all device I/O of the Gateway and each Node can be accessed by a Modbus RTU Master device via serial RS485. In order to accomplish this, you may first need to configure several system-level communications parameters on the DX80 Gateway (in addition to the serial hookups shown below).1 = BROWN2 = WHITE3 = BLUE4 = BLACK 5 = GREYBrown 1 10-30V dc InputWhite 2 RS 485 / D1 / B /+Blue 3 Ground InputBlack 4 RS485 / D0 / A / -Grey 5 Comms GndWiring: 5-pin Euro pinouts for 485+, 485- and Comms groundParameter DescriptionSlave ID (default = 1) Defines the slave number (1) for the serial Modbus RTU protocol.Baud Rate (default = 19200)Defines communication data rate (19.2, 38.4 or 9.6 kbps) between the Gateway and the Host through the serial interface.Parity (default = none) Defines serial parity (none, even, or odd) between Gateway and Host.

As soon as a specific Node/Gateway RF link times out, all pertinent wired outputs are de-energized until the link is recovered (see kit-specific Supplemental Sheet for more information). Through this process, users of Banner wireless networks can be assured that disruptions in the communications link will result in predictable system behavior.Link time-out utilizes a fully-acknowledged polling method to determine RF link status of each Node on the network. If after a prescribed number of sequential polling cycles the Node does not acknowledge a message, the Gateway considers the link with the Node to be timed out. LCD displays on both the Node and Gateway will show *ERROR. Following a time-out, the Node de-energizes outputs; the Gateway (or Repeater Node, if applicable) sets all outputs linked to the Node in question to a de-energized state, as well.Once a link has been faulted, the Gateway must receive a number of good packets from the Node in question (with some hysteresis to prevent link “toggling”) for the link to be reinstated. If the DX80 network is not Host-connected (RS485 serial access not enabled), outputs are restored to current values when the link is recovered.Link between Gateway and Node 1 timed out.Link between Gateway and Node 1 recovered.

In order for the RF link to be reinstated, the Host must send a control message to clear the device error message. Any Node output registers will be re-populated by the latest Gateway register map.RF Link Time-out & Recovery – Host-connectedLink between Gateway and Node 1 recovered. It is the responsibility of the Host to handle Node device error messages. This will result in outputs being reinstated.Link between Gateway and Node 1 timed out.*
DX80 Quick Start GuideP/N 128185Banner Engineering Corp. • Minneapolis, MN U.S.A.www.bannerengineering.com • Tel: 763.544.316416TROUBLESHOOTINGTroubleshootingA wireless network can be hindered by radio interference as well as obstructions in the path of the receiver and transmitter. To achieve the best radio performance possible, the installation locations for Gateways and Nodes should be carefully considered. In general, the need for a clear path becomes greater as the transmission distance increases. Use Site Survey (RSSI) to confirm signal quality before fixing devices for permanent installation.Problem Description Possible SolutionsBasic power–up issuesNo LEDs, No LCD displayDX80 devices should immediately display ‘POWER’ on the LCD for the first 5-10 seconds after power is applied. A DX80 Gateway will always have a green LED on when power is connected. DX80 Node devices will flash a red LED every 3 seconds or a green LED every second depending upon the RF Link status.Battery devices can be put into a power down mode using button 1 on the front panel. To put a battery device into power down mode, hold button 1 for 3-5 seconds. To make a battery device come out of power down mode, hold button 1 for 3-5 seconds.Recheck power connections and power requirements. Line powered devices require 10-30V DC. The DX81 Battery Module provides 3.6V DC.•••DX80 devices will not SynchronizeNode flashes the red LED (no sync)There are two things that MUST be set on every Node device to make it synchronize with the Gateway device: 1) The Network ID on the Node must match the Gateway Network ID. (0-15). 2) Each node must have the rotary switches set to a unique number (1-15).Refer to “Getting Started – Multiple Networks, Setting Network ID”If the DX80 Gateway & Node are less than 2 meters apart the devices may not communicate properly (radios may saturate).The Gateway & Node may be too far apart to achieve sync – consult factory for options.Qualified antenna should be placed on both the Gateway and Node device.After system parameter changes it is a good idea to cycle power to cause a resyncing of the devices.If a Node device goes out of sync it is programmed to try to acquire sync for 5 seconds and then sleep for 15 seconds. Synchronizing may require up to 20 seconds.Recycle power on the Gateway & Node devices.••••••••Site survey (RSSI) returns > 30 MISSED packetsMarginal Site Survey (RSSI) resultsIf the distance between devices is greater than about 5,000 meters (3 miles) line of sight *OR* objects such as trees or man-made obstructions interfere with the path, and the MISSED packet count exceeds 30 per 100 packets, the following steps should be considered:DX80 units should be raised to a higher elevation – either by physically moving the devices, or installing the antenna(s) remotely at a higher position.Use high-gain antenna(s) such as Yagi and/or Omni (see Accessories).Decrease the distance between devices.••••DX80 Gateway will not talk with the host systemNo communications with the DX80 Gateway using RS485Default communications parameters for the RS485 are: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and 19.2k baud. The DX80 Gateway uses Modbus RTU protocol for all communications. The supported Modbus function codes are 3, 6, and 16.Make sure the DX80 model supports RS485 serial communications.Make sure the Slave ID is set properly for the bus environment. Factory default Slave ID = 1.Factory default for the Modbus timeout is set to 4 seconds (for Modbus kits only). If you are using this feature make sure the time is properly set.RS485 termination or biasing is not supplied on the DX80 Gateway and should be provided externally to the DX80. (Termination is not required by the DX80 Gateway, proper biasing of the serial lines is required.)•••••RF link time-out and recoveryDX80 Display shows *ERRORThe Gateway utilizes fully-acknowledged polling to ensure each Node RF link is robust. Consequently, if after a prescribed number of sequential polling cycles are not acknowledged by a Node, the Gateway considers the particular link with that Node to be timed out. All outputs on the Node in question will be set to “OFF” (discrete) or “0” (analog, regardless of type).If the Node’s RF link is recovered and the Gateway can determine that enough acknowledged polling messages have been accumulated, then the link is reinstated and outputs are restored to the current values.••I/O functionalityParticular inputs and/or outputs are not workingUse manual scrolling mode within *RUN to freeze the I/O status on the LCD display for the device in question. Verify that when the input device changes state or changes value, the LCD mirrors the behavior.Also verify that the LCD on the output side mirrors the linked input’s behavior. If the input device state, LCD on origination DX80, and LCD on destination DX80 all behave exactly the same, there may be a wiring issue or an interfacing problem. Consult factory.••
