Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.These products do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized product output condition. Consult your current Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products that meet OSHA, ANSI, and IEC standards for personnel protection.Printed in USA   04/07  P/N 128185 Rev BIntroducing the SureCross™ DX80 Wireless SystemThe SureCross™ DX80 wireless system 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.Each wireless system consists of one Gateway and one or more Nodes that ship with factory predefined inputs and outputs. Devices may be all discrete I/O, mixed discrete and analog I/O, and FlexPower™. A Gateway device acts as the master device within each radio network system. The Gateway 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 a sensor or output device and reports I/O status to the Gateway.A Gateway and Node can be arranged to extend the range of the network or to avoid obstacles in the transmission path. The Gateway receives a transmission from one Node and forwards it to another Node positioned to avoid the obstacle.  Host-connected systems can contain up to 15 nodes within a single network and may be all discrete or a mix of discrete and analog I/O. Host-connected systems allow for logic and calculations to be applied to the I/O. Inputs from Nodes within the network are transmitted to the Gateway, which communicates the information to a host device for processing. While the Gateway is the master device within the radio network, the Gateway is a slave to the Modbus network.FlexPower devices allow for a true wireless solution as the Node can be powered by line power (10 to 30V dc) or battery power (3.6 to 5.5V dc). A SureCross DX81 battery pack and unique power management system runs the Node and a device for up to five years, depending upon the power requirements of the device. Battery life is application specific. Contact Banner Engineering’s application engineers for a battery life calculation for your specific application.Overview ................................................1Features and Components .....................2Menu System .........................................4QuickStart  Step 1: Set NID & Device Address 6   Step 2: Apply Power (Gateway) .....7   Step 3: Apply power (Node) ...........7   Step 4: Verify Communications ......8   Step 5: Site Survey ........................9  Step 6: Installation .......................10Maintenance/Parts Replacement .........13 Host Network .......................................15Product Dimensions .............................17Troubleshooting ...................................18Accessories..........................................20Agency Certifications ...........................21FCC Certification..................................22 Table of Contents

As soon as a specific Node/Gateway RF link fails, all pertinent wired outputs are de-energized until the link is recovered (see component data 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.The link time-out feature uses a fully-acknowledged polling method to determine the RF link status of each Node on the network. If after a specified number of sequential polling cycles the Node does not acknowledge a message, the Gateway considers the link with the Node timed out. LCD displays on both the Node and Gateway show *ERROR. Following a time-out, the Node de-energizes outputs and the Gateway sets all outputs linked to the Node in question to a de-energized state. Inputs from the Nodes are mapped to outputs on the Gateway and are suspended during a link timeout.Once a link has failed, the Gateway must receive a specified number of good RF communications packets from the Node in question before the link is reinstated. Outputs are restored to current values when the link is recovered.For information regarding Host-connected systems and link time-out and recover, please refer to Banner’s DX80 and Modbus Guide.Link between Gateway and Node 1 timed out.Link between Gateway and Node 1 recovered.Troubleshooting
SureCross™ DX80 Quick Start Guide    P/N 128185 Rev B      19 Banner Engineering Corp. • Minneapolis, MN U.S.A.www.bannerengineering.com  •  Tel: 763.544.3164A wireless network can be hindered by radio interference and by obstructions in the path of the receiver and transmitter. To achieve the best radio performance possible, carefully consider the installation locations for Gateways and Nodes. The need for a clear path increases 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. For the Gateway, LED 1 will always be green when power is connected. The Node devices will flash a red LED 2 every three seconds or a green LED 1 every second depending upon the RF Link status.Battery powered 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 three to five seconds. To make a battery device come out of power-down mode, hold button 1 for three to five seconds.Recheck the power connections and power requirements. Line powered devices require 10 to 30V dc. The DX81 Battery Module provides 3.6V dc. After replacing the battery, allow up to 60 seconds for the device to power up.••••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 within that network must have the Device ID rotary switch set to a unique number (1-15). Refer to “Getting Started – Multiple Networks, Setting Network ID”If the Gateway and Node are less than two meters apart, the devices may not communicate properly (radios may saturate).The Gateway and Node may be too far apart to achieve sync – consult factory for options.A qualified antenna should be mounted on both the Gateway and Node devices.After any system parameter changes, cycle power to cause the devices to resync with the network.If a Node device loses synchronization with the network, it is programmed to try to acquire sync for five seconds, then sleep for 15 seconds. Synchronizing may require up to 20 seconds.Recycle power on the Gateway and 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, consider the following steps:Raise the DX80 units 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 four seconds. 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.••Troubleshooting (con’t)
