0 131629 2

Configurable Modbus slave remote I/O device with four sourcing discrete inputs, four sourcing discrete outputs, two 0 to 20 mA analog
inputs, and two 0 to 20 mA analog outputs

Features

The SureCross™ wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/O that
can operate in most environments while eliminating the need for wiring runs. Systems are
built around a Gateway, which acts as the wireless network master device, and one or
more Nodes. A remote I/O device with a Modbus interface is used to expand the I/O of the
Gateway device or the Modbus host.

• Wireless industrial I/O device with four sourcing discrete inputs, four sourcing discrete
outputs, two 0 to 20 mA analog inputs, and 0 to 20 mA two analog outputs

• 10 to 30V dc power input

• Selectable Modbus slave address

• Modbus RTU protocol using RS-485

• The DX85...C models are certified for use in Class I, Division 2, Group A, B, C, D; and
Zone 2 (Group IIC) Hazardous Locations when properly installed in accordance with
the National Electrical Code, the Canadian Electrical Code, LCIE/ATEX, or applicable
local codes/regulations (see Specifications)

SureCross DX85 Modbus RTU Remote I/O Device

The SureCross DX80 Wireless Network

The SureCross DX80 wireless I/O network provides reliable monitoring without the burden of wiring or conduit installation. The SureCross
wireless network can operate 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 inputs and outputs
that may be all discrete, all analog, or a mix of discrete and analog I/O.

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.

SureCross DX80 Gateways and Nodes

A Gateway acts as the master device within each radio network, initiates communication and reporting with the Nodes, and controls the
timing for the entire network.

The Gateway also holds the configuration for the network. Every wireless network must have one Gateway that schedules communica­tion traffic and controls the I/O configuration for the network. A radio network contains only one Gateway, but can contain many Nodes.
Similar to how a gateway device on a wired network acts as a “portal” between networks, the SureCross Gateway acts as the portal
between the wireless network and the central control process.

A Node is a wireless network end-point device used to provide sensing capability in a remote area or factory. The Node collects data
from sensors and communicates the data back to the Gateway. Nodes are available in a wide variety of power or input/output options.
Each Node device can be connected to sensors or output devices and reports I/O status to the Gateway.

DX85 Modbus RTU I/O Slaves

Use the DX85 Modbus RTU I/O devices to expand the I/O of a Modbus master device. DX85s are hardwired to Modbus master devices
using RS-485 and use Modbus RTU to exchange data. DX85s are available with discrete, analog, or a mix of discrete and analog I/O.

Device Configuration

Setting the Slave ID on a DX85 Remote I/O Device

On a DX85 Modbus RTU Remote I/O device, use the rotary dials to set the device’s Slave ID.

In Rotary Dial Decimal Mode, the left dial acts as the left digit and the right dial acts as the right
digit, allowing the Slave ID to be set from 01 through 99.

In Rotary Dial Hex Mode, the left dial acts as the left digit and the right dial acts as the right digit,
allowing the Slave ID to be set from 01 through F7 for a total of 247 slaves.

The 12 I/O DX85 models use Rotary Dial Decimal Mode and do not have a DIP switch selection
for this option.

To configure the DX85 using the UCT, the DX85's Slave ID must be set to 01.

DIP Switch Changes

Before making any changes to the DIP switch positions, disconnect
the power. For devices with batteries integrated into the housing,
remove the battery for at least one minute.

DIP switch changes will not be recognized if power isn't cycled to
the device.

Accessing the Internal DIP Switches

To access the internal DIP switches, follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the four screws that mount the cover to the bottom housing.

2. Remove the cover from the housing without damaging the ribbon cable or the pins the cable plugs into.

3. Gently unplug the ribbon cable from the board mounted into the bottom housing. For integrated battery models (no ribbon cable) and
Class I, Division 2 certified devices (ribbon cable is glued down), skip this step.

4. Remove the black cover plate from the bottom of the device's cover.

SureCross DX85 Modbus RTU Remote I/O Device

The DIP switches are located behind the rotary dials. After making the neces­sary changes to the DIP switches, place the black cover plate back into posi­tion and gently push into place. Plug the ribbon cable in after verifying that
the blocked hole lines up with the missing pin. Mount the cover back onto the
housing.

DIP Switch Settings for a DX85

Use the DIP switches 1 through 4 on the board to set the baud rate and parity and DIP switch 5 to set the rotary dial mode.
