Sure Cross® Performance DX80 Wireless I/O Networks 1 The Sure Cross® Wireless Network The Sure Cross® Performance wireless I/O network provides reliable monitoring without wiring or conduit installation. The SureCross wireless network operates independently or in conjunction with a host system, PLC, and/or PC software. Each wireless network system consists of one Gateway and one or more Nodes. Devices ship with factory-defined discrete, analog, or a mix of discrete and analog inputs and outputs.
Sure Cross® Performance DX80 Wireless I/O Networks • DX80P*T6*. The T6 model acts as a protocol converter only, offering the Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP communication protocols. • DX80P*A6*. The A6 model includes DX80 wireless network configuration, Modbus RTU master, Modbus/TCP client/ server, Script Basic, e-mail, data logging, and trending. Connect a host controller system to the GatewayPro using its industrial Ethernet connection.
Sure Cross® Performance DX80 Wireless I/O Networks 1.5 What is FlexPower®? Banner’s FlexPower technology supplies a true wireless solution by allowing the device to operate using either 10 to 30 V dc, 3.6 V lithium D cell batteries, or solar power. This unique power management system can operate a FlexPower Node and an optimized sensing device for up to five years on a single lithium D cell.

Sure Cross® Performance DX80 Wireless I/O Networks attenuation Attenuation is the radio signal loss occurring as signals travel through the medium. Radio signal attenuation may also be referred to as free space loss. The higher the frequency, the faster the signal strength decreases. For example, 2.4 GHz signals attenuate faster than 900 MHz signals. baseline filter (M-GAGE) Under normal conditions, the ambient magnetic field fluctuates.
Sure Cross® Performance DX80 Wireless I/O Networks counter - event The event counter counts the total number of times an input signal changes to the high/ON/1 state. The counter increments on the falling edge of an input signal when the signal level crosses the threshold. Event counters can be used to measure the total operational cycles of a spinning shaft or the total number of items traveling down a conveyor.
Sure Cross® Performance DX80 Wireless I/O Networks Host Link Failure—Host link failure is when the defined timeout period has elapsed with no communications between the host system (or Modbus master device) and the DX80 Gateway, typically about four seconds. These events trigger when a host link failure has been detected. Node Link Failure—Node link failures are determined by the polling interval or the out-of-sync timing.
