DX80 Quick Start Guide A setup guide for the DX80 wireless system Introducing the Banner DX80 Wireless System The DX80 wireless system provides continuous monitoring without the burden of wiring or conduit installation, and can operate independently or in conjunction with a PLC and/or PC software. Configurations of the DX80 wireless system are shown below.

DX80 Quick Start Guide GETTING STARTED – NETWORK SETUP Quick Start: STEP 1 > Set Network ID & Device/Node Address The Banner DX80 wireless system is a network of devices consisting of a Gateway and Node(s). 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.
DX80 Quick Start Guide GETTING STARTED – APPLY POWER Quick Start: STEP 2 > Apply Power, Gateway To apply power to the Gateway, connect 10-30V dc cable as shown. Apply power... This reading occurs only at initial application of power to the Gateway. The LCD display shows the current I/O status of the Gateway. The Gateway starts in RUN mode. Displays current Network ID (NID) Device is ... 3 = BLUE ...
DX80 Quick Start Guide GETTING STARTED – VERIFY COMMUNICATIONS Quick Start: STEP 4 > Verify Communications, Gateway Verify LED 1 is ON Green. Gateway LED Status LED 1 LED 2 Power ON — — — System Error RS485 Error Red FLASHING — RS485 Fault Yellow FLASHING — RS485 Active Green ON Green FLASHING Red ON > Verify Communications, Node Verify LED 1 is flashing Green. LED 2 is off. Until communication is established with the Gateway, the Node’s LED 2 flashes Red.
DX80 Quick Start Guide GETTING STARTED – SITE SURVEY Quick Start: STEP 5 > Site Survey (optional) A site survey determines the quality of the link between a Gateway and a given Node. The Gateway is used to perform a site survey. NOTE: The Site Survey should be performed prior to the permanent installation of your network to ensure robust communication. User Action Display/Status Notes RETURN TO RUN MODE SURVEY READINGS SITE SURVEY MENU Remove Gateway rotary switch access cover.
DX80 Quick Start Guide GETTING STARTED – HOST NETWORK Host Network – Gateway Installing a host-connected network is similar to installing a standard DX80 wireless system, except that all device I/O for the Gateway and each Node can be accessed by a Modbus RTU Master device via serial RS485. (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.
DX80 Quick Start Guide GETTING STARTED – HOST NETWORK Host Network – Gateway (cont.) Setting the Slave ID Similar to Network ID, the Slave ID parameter can be changed in the Device Configuration (*DVCFG) system menu option. Follow the Top Level System Menu through *DVCFG to the Slave ID (SLID) parameter. The LCD will display an alternating Current value and New value for the parameter. User Action Display/Status Notes To navigate to the *DVCFG (Device Configuration) menu, see page 12.
DX80 Quick Start Guide DX80 QUICK TIPS Clear Communication Paths A wireless network can be hindered by radio interference and obstructions in the path between a receiver and transmitter. To achieve the best radio performance, installation locations for Gateways and Nodes should be carefully considered. Increase Height of DX80 Units The external antenna should be verticallyoriented for optimal RF communication. In addition, consider the height of DX80 position to improve reception levels.

DX80 Quick Start Guide CONFIGURATION DX80 Gateway Setup Menu When power is applied, the DX80 immediately enters RUN state (Gateway or Node). Run state is the normal operating mode for all devices on the wireless network. † † If the user gets lost navigating the menu system, they can double-click Push Button 2 twice to return to the top level menu. Navigating the menu: = Top level < > = Sub-menu item No characters = Value of previous item * Banner Engineering Corp. • Minneapolis, MN U.S.A.
DX80 Quick Start Guide CONFIGURATION DX80 Node Setup Menu When power is applied, the DX80 immediately enters RUN mode (Gateway or Node). RUN mode is the normal operating mode for all devices on the wireless network. † † If the user gets lost navigating the menu system, they can double-click Push Button 2 twice to return to the top level menu.
DX80 Quick Start Guide TROUBLESHOOTING RF Link Time-out & Recovery Banner DX80 wireless devices employ a deterministic link time-out method to address RF link interruption or failure. 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).
DX80 Quick Start Guide TROUBLESHOOTING RF Link Time-out & Recovery – Host-connected In a Host-connected DX80 system, a link time-out will result in an error code (53 or 0x35xx) being placed in the Node-specific DEVICE MESSAGE Modbus register (Node 1 = Register 24, Node 2 = Register 40, etc.). 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.
DX80 Quick Start Guide TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting A 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.
