3.1 ISM Radio Board (Modbus Slave ID 1)

The ISM embedded radio boards are available in either DX80 MultiHop or DX80 Performance. The DX80 MultiHop architecture creates a tree network with a Master radio and one or more Repeater/Slave devices. The

MultiHop architecture is suited for networks requiring repeater devices to provide extended range or obstacle avoidance. MultiHop ISM radio devices are

• DXMxxx-xxR2 - MultiHop 900 MHz

• DXMxxx-xxR4 - MultiHop 2.4 GHz

• DXMxxx-xxR5 - MultiHop 900 MHz, 100 mW

• DXMxxx-xxR9 - MultiHop 900 MHz, (Australia)

The DX80 Performance architecture is a star-based architecture with one Gateway radio and 1 to 47 Node devices. The Nodes communicate with the Gateway in a time slot method that is very predictable. DX80 Performance Gateway ISM radio devices are

deﬁned with R1, R3, and R8 in the model number.

• DXMxxx-xxR1 - DX80 Performance 900MHz

• DXMxxx-xxR3 - DX80 Performance 2.4GHz

• DXMxxx-xxR8 - DX80 Performance 900MHz (Australia)

Application Mode

The MultiHop radio operates in either Modbus mode or transparent mode. Use the internal DIP switches to select the mode of operation. All MultiHop radios within a wireless network must be in the same mode.

Modbus mode uses the Modbus protocol for routing packets. In Modbus mode, a routing table is stored in each parent device to optimize the radio

trafﬁc. This allows for point to point communication in a multiple data radio network and

acknowledgement/retry of radio packets. To access a radio's I/O, the radios must be running in Modbus mode. In transparent application mode, all incoming packets are stored, then broadcast to all connected data radios. The data

communication is packet based and not

speciﬁc to any protocol. The application layer is responsible for data integrity. For one to one data radios it is possible to enable broadcast acknowledgement of the data packets to provide better throughput. In transparent mode, there is no access to the radio's I/O.

Baud Rate and Parity

The baud rate (bits per second) is the data transmission rate between the device and whatever it is physically wired to. Set the parity to match the parity of the device you are wired to.

Disable Serial

If the local serial connection is not needed, disable it to reduce the power consumption of a data radio powered from the solar assembly or from batteries. All radio communications remain operational.

Transmit Power Levels/Frame Size

The 900 MHz data radios can be operated at 1 watt (30 dBm) or 0.250 watt (24 dBm). For most models, the default transmit power is 1 watt.

www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: +1.763.544.3164 7

DXM100-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave

For 2.4 GHz radios, the transmit power is ﬁxed at 0.065 watt (18 dBm) and DIP switch 5 is used to set the frame timing. The default position (OFF) sets the frame timing to 60 milliseconds. To increase throughput, set the frame timing to 40 milliseconds.

Prior to date code 15341 and radio ﬁrmware version 3.6, the frame timing was 40 ms (OFF) or 20 ms (ON).

3.2 Binding the ISM Radio of a DXM100-Sx Modbus Slave

A DXM100-Sx Modbus Slave (model DXM1x0-S*R2) contains two boards: a MultiHop ISM radio and an I/O base board. Each board is a separate Modbus device.

• The ISM radio is not required to have a Modbus ID because there are no registers to manage.

• The I/O board must have a Modbus ID to access the I/O register data and

To bind the DXM100-Sx Modbus Slave (as either a repeater or slave radio) to its master radio, follow the binding instructions. If the binding instructions are not included in the master radio datasheet, refer to the MultiHop Quick Start Guide (p/n

The ISM radio board's Modbus ID is assigned from the master radio during binding using the master radio's rotary dials or the DXM Controller's LCD Binding menu. For example, if the master's binding number is 25, the DXM Slave ISM radio's Modbus ID is set to 25. To reduce the number of Modbus IDs used, set the ISM radio Modbus ID to 01.

By default, the I/O board's Modbus ID is set to 11. To change the Modbus ID, use the I/O board DIP switches. For applications requiring Modbus IDs outside the range of the DIP switches, write a Modbus ID to a Modbus register on the I/O board.

Use the MultiHop Slave, only the ISM radio displays on the Network View screen. The Modbus ID of the I/O board is a separate device that is not a part of the radio network. Although the I/O board does not show up in the Network View, it is accessible when using the Register View functions.

Conﬁguration Tool to associate a switched power output to a universal input in most situations.

DXM100-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave

Switched power 1 and 2 (pins 30 and 21) can be associated to any Universal input to apply power a sensor, take a reading, and then remove power from the sensor. This conserves power in battery-operated systems. The switched power supply can be used in one of two different ways: supplying courtesy power to an output pin or associated to an input. (Only one method can be active at a time.)

To manually

conﬁgure the switched power output using I/O board Modbus registers, write the speciﬁed value to the listed

register.

Default Output

Set the register value to 1 for continuous power. The default setting is 0. Cycle power if this register value is changed.

Output Register

Write to the Output register to turn on or turn off the voltage output. If both Output Registers 505 and 506 are turned on at the same time, but are set to different voltages, the output

voltage is 5 V for DXM100-B1 models and set to the lower voltage setting for DXM100-B2 models.

Switched Power Enable

Enables the switched power supply. Set to 1 to enable; set to 0 to disable. This does not enable the supply output to the actual output pin. To enable the supply output to the output pin, set

Modbus register 505 or 506 to 1. Set to 0 when associating the switched power supply to an input.

Voltage

For the B1 and S1 models, set the Modbus register value to 0 for a switched power supply at 5 volts. Se the Modbus register value to 1 for a switched power supply at 16 volts.

For the B2 and S2 models, set one of the following register values to select your switched power output voltage.

For 5 V, set the Modbus register to 204. For 7 V, set the Modbus register to 125. For 10 V, set the Modbus register to 69. For 15 V, set the Modbus register to 32. For 20 V, set the Modbus register to 12. For 24 V, set the Modbus register to 3.

When associating a switched power supply to an input, set the Switch Power Output Enable register to off (0). Set Modbus register 2201 for switched power 1 and Modbus register 2251 for switched power 2. This allows the input sampling mechanism to control the output.

Use the following

Extended Input Read

The Extended Input Read is a bit ﬁeld parameter that allows multiple inputs to be sampled with the same switch power parameters.

If the bit

ﬁeld is set to 0x000F, the ﬁrst four inputs are sampled after the switch power parameters are satisﬁed.

If the Extended Input Read parameter is set in the Universal input 1 conﬁguration registers, set Universal inputs 2 through 4 Extended Input Read and Sample Interval parameters to zero.

Input Enable

Set to 1 to enable the input. Set to 0 to disable the input.

Out-of-Sync Enable

To enable the input to continue operating when the device is out of sync with the master radio, set to 1. To disable the input when the device is not synchronized to the master radio, set to 0.

Sample Interval (high), Sample Interval (low)

The sample interval (rate) is a 32-bit value (requires two Modbus registers) that represents how often the I/O board samples the input.

The register value is the number of time units. One time unit is equal to 0.01 seconds. For example, a Modbus register value of 1000 represents a sample interval of 10 seconds (1000 × 0.010 seconds =

10 seconds).

Switch Power Enable Mask

The Switch Power Enable Mask works with the warm-up and voltage parameters to

deﬁne the switch power

output. The bit mask can select any number of switch powers.

0x0 - No switch power enabled 0x1 - Enable Switch Power 1 0x2 - Enable Switch Power 2 0x3 - Enable Switch Power 1 and Switch Power 2

Switch Power Voltage

The Switch Power Voltage parameter

deﬁnes the output voltage of the switch power output.

This parameter applies only to inputs using switched power. If switch power is not used with an input, use the Courtesty Power Voltage parameter to control the voltage.

See

Voltage

entry for Modbus register values used to select the output voltage.

Switch Power Warm-up

When an input controls power to external sensors, the Switch Power Warm-up parameter deﬁnes how long power is applied to the external sensor before the input point is examined for changes.

The register value is the number of time units, and a time unit is 0.01 seconds. For a warm-up time of 1 second, this parameter value is 100 (0.01 seconds × 100 = 1 second).

Associate Universal Input 1 with Switch Power 1

To associate universal input 1 with switched power 1, follow these instructions. Set Input 1 to sample every 60 seconds, with a warmup time of 10 seconds.

1. Verify Switched Power 1 Output Enable is off (0). Set Modbus Register 2201 = 0

2. Set the Sample Interval to 1 minute. Modbus Registers 1002 = 0, 1003= 6000 (0.01 seconds × 6000 = 60 seconds).

3. Set the Switched Power Enable Mask to use Switch Power 1. Modbus Register 1004 = 1

4. Set the Switched Power Warm-up time to 10 seconds. Modbus Register 1005 = 1000 (0.01 seconds × 1000 = 10 seconds).

5. Set the Switched Power Voltage to 16 volts. Modbus Register 1006 = 1.

4.2.3 Connecting a Battery to the DXM Slave

When attaching a battery to the DXM Slave as a backup battery or as a solar battery, verify the charging algorithm is set properly. The factory default setting for the battery charging algorithm assumes you are using 12 to 30 V dc to recharge the battery.

The charging algorithm is designed to work with a sealed lead acid (SLA) battery only.

• When using 12 to 30 V dc, connect the 12 to 30 V dc + to pin 2 and connect the ground to pin 3.

• When using main dc power with a back up battery (default (+) and to pin 3 (-). Connect the 12 V sealed lead acid battery to pin 4 (+) and pin 5 (-). The incoming main power must be 15 to 30 V dc to charge the battery.

• When using a solar panel, connect the solar panel output to pin 2 and connect the ground to pin 3. Connect the 12 V dc SLA battery to pin 4 (+) and pin 5 (-). To change the charging algorithm, refer to

The factory default setting for the battery charging algorithm assumes you are using 12 to 30 V dc power to recharge the battery. If the incoming power is from a solar panel, you must change the charging algorithm.

To change the charging algorithm from the menu system:

1. From the DXM Slave LCD menu, navigate to System Conﬁg > I/O Board > Charger.

2. Select Solar for solar panel

To change the charging algorithm by writing to Modbus register 6071 on the I/O base board (Slave ID 11):

1. Write a 0 to select the solar power charging algorithm.

The following power operating characteristics are stored in Modbus registers.

Battery voltage

If no battery is present, the value in this register is less than 5 V. If the value in this register is greater than the incoming voltage register, the battery is powering the system.

Battery charging current

The charging algorithm charges the battery when the incoming voltage register value is greater than the battery voltage register value. This registers shows the charging current in milliamps.

Incoming supply voltage

The incoming power can be from a solar panel or from a power supply. The battery is charging when the incoming voltage register value is greater than the battery voltage register value. The battery is powering the system when the incoming voltage register value is less than the battery voltage register value.

4.3 Working with Solar Power

A reliable solar system requires careful planning and monitoring to size the components correctly. The recommendations provided are for the DXM Slave system as an autonomous system.

Adding extra components increases the power requirements and likely requires increasing the solar system components. Depending upon the geographical location, the size of the solar panel and battery may vary.

4.3.1 Setting the DXM Slave for Solar Power

By default, the DXM Slave is set from the factory to charge a backup battery from a line power source.

4.3.2 Solar Components

The components of a solar system include the battery and the solar panel.

Battery

The DXM solar controller is designed to use a 12 V lead acid battery. The characteristics of a solar system require the battery to be of a certain type. There are basically two types of lead acid batteries:

• SLI batteries (Starting Lights Ignition) designed for quick bursts of energy, like starting engines

• Deep Cycle batteries - greater long-term energy delivery. This is the best choice for a solar battery.

Since a solar system charges and discharges daily, a deep cycle battery is the best choice. There are different versions of a lead acid battery: wet cell

Wet cell batteries are the original type of rechargeable battery and come in two styles, serviceable and maintenance free. Wet cell batteries typically require special attention to ventilation as well as periodic maintenance but are the lowest cost. The gel cell and AGM battery are sealed batteries that cost more but store very well and do not tend to sulfate or degrade as easily as a wet cell. Gel or AGM batteries are the safest lead acid batteries you can use.

DXM100-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave

Battery capacity is a function of the ambient temperature and the rate of discharge. Depending upon the speciﬁc battery, a battery operating at –30 °C can have as much as 40 percent less capacity than a battery operating at 20 °C. Choose enough battery capacity based on your geographical location.

A larger capacity battery typically lasts longer for a given solar application because lead-acid batteries do not like deep cycling (discharging a large percentage of its capacity). Depending upon the battery, a battery discharging only 30 percent of its capacity before recharging will have approximately 1100 charge/discharge cycles. The same battery discharging 50 percent of its capacity will have approximately 500 charge/discharge cycles. Discharging 100 percent leaves the battery with only 200 charge/discharge cycles.

Batteries degrade over time based on discharge/charge cycles and environmental conditions. Always monitor the battery system to obtain the best performance of the solar powered system.

Use this as a guide to the approximate state of charge and in determining when to apply conservation measures.

Solar Panel

Banner solar panels come in two common sizes for the DXM Slave: 5 Watt and 20 Watt. Both panels are designed to work with the DXM Slave but provide different charging characteristics. Use the 5 watt panel for light duty operation and use the 20 watt panel when you require greater charging capabilities.

Solar Panel Voltage Current Typical DXM Conﬁgurations

5 Watt 17 V 0.29 A DXM slave controller, ISM radio, I/O base board

20 Watt 21 V 1 A DXM Controller with ISM radio and Cellular modem

Photovoltaic panels are very sensitive to shading. Unlike solar thermal panels, PV solar panels cannot tolerate shading from a branch of a leaﬂess tree or small amounts of snow in the corners of the panel. Because all cells are connected in a series string, the weakest cell will bring down the other cells' power level.

Good quality solar panels will not degrade much from year to year, typically less than 1 percent . Solar Panel Mounting To capture the maximum amount of solar radiation throughout the year, mount a ﬁxed solar panel to optimize the sun's

energy throughout the year. For the northern hemisphere, face the panel true south. For the southern hemisphere, face the panel true north. If you are using a compass to orientate the panels, compensate for the difference between true north and magnetic north. Magnetic declination varies across the globe.

A solar panel's average tilt from horizontal is at an angle equal to the latitude of the site location. For optimum performance, adjust the tilt by plus 15 degrees in the winter or minus 15 degrees in the summer. For a

ﬁxed panel with a consistent power requirement throughout the year, adjust the tilt angle to optimize for the winter months: latitude plus 15 degrees. Although in the summer months the angle may not be the most

efﬁcient, there are more hours of solar energy available.

For sites with snow in the winter months, the increased angle helps to shed snow. A solar panel covered in snow produces little or no power.

4.3.3 Recommended Solar

4.5 Inputs and Outputs

The I/O base board is a Modbus slave device that communicates using Modbus commands. Refer to the Modbus Registers section for more descriptions of each Modbus register on the DXM100-Sx Modbus Slave.

4.5.1 Universal Inputs

The universal inputs on the DXM100-Sx Modbus Slave can be programmed to accept several different types of inputs:

• Discrete NPN/PNP

• 0 to 20 mA analog

• 0 to 10 V analog

• 10k temperature thermistor

• Potentiometer sense

• Bridge

• NPN raw fast Any input can be used as a synchronous counter by Use the DXM

Conﬁguration Tool tool to write to the appropriate Modbus registers in the I/O board to conﬁgure the input type. The universal inputs are treated as analog inputs. When the universal inputs are Modbus registers to conﬁgure the operational characteristics of the inputs. These parameters are temperature conversion type, enable full scale, threshold and hysteresis. Refer to the DXM100 Controller Instruction Manual (p/n parameter deﬁnitions.

When a universal input is conﬁgured as an NPN or PNP input type, it can be enabled to be a synchronous counter. Enable the counter function by setting Modbus register 'Enable Rising' or 'Enable Falling' to 1. See

DXM100-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave

Potentiometer Input

A potentiometer input is created from three inputs: a voltage source (pin 30) that supplies 5 V to the potentiometer and two inputs set to voltage inputs to read the voltage across the potentiometer. See the DXM tech note for setting up a potentiometer.

Bridge Input

The bridge input is not implemented yet.

NPN vs NPN Raw Fast

The difference between NPN and NPN Raw Fast is the amount of settling time given to the input. Switch the input type to NPN if the input is not detecting a transition.

Synchronous Counters

When an input is

conﬁgured as a counter (inputs set to NPN/PNP), the input counts the input signal transitions. The count value is stored into two 16-bit Modbus registers for a total count of 32-bits (unsigned). To program an input to capture the edge transition counts, follow

Example: Conﬁgure Input 1 as a Synchronous Counter

on page 19.

Synchronous counter sample the inputs every 10 ms. The input logic does not detect rising or falling edges, but instead samples the input every 10 ms to

ﬁnd level changes. The input signals must be high or low for more than 10 ms or the input will not detect transitions. Because most signals are not perfect, a realistic limit for the synchronous counter would be 30 to 40 Hz.

Example:

Conﬁgure Input 1 as a Synchronous Counter

1. Change the Source Register selection to I/O Board Registers.

2. In the Write Registers area, write Modbus register 4908 to 1 to enable counting on the rising edge of the input signal.

3. Read Modbus registers 4910 and 4911 to get the 32-bit value of the count.

Example: Change Universal Input 2 to a 0 to 10 V dc Input

1. Write a 3 to Modbus register 3326 on Modbus Slave ID 11 (I/O board).

2. Cycle power to the device.

3. Using the Register View tab, read register 3326 to verify it is set to 3.

Example: Change Analog Output 1 to a 0 to 10 V dc Output

1. Change the Source Register selection to I/O Board Registers.

2. Set jumper 1 on the I/O base board to the 0 to 10 V position. Refer to the base board image for the analog output jumper position.

3. Write a 3 to Modbus register 4008 on Modbus Slave ID 11 (I/O board).

4. Cycle power to the device.

5. Using the Register View tab, read register 4008 to verify it is set to 3.

deﬁnes the analog output type. For analog output 1, write to Modbus register 4008, for analog output 2 write to Modbus register 4028. Write a value of 2 (default) to select 0 to 20 mA; write a value of 3 to select 0 to 10 V.

Default Output Conditions. Default output conditions/triggers are the conditions that drive outputs to deﬁned states. Example default output conditions include when radios are out of sync, when a device cycles power, or during a host communication timeout.

• 2952 Enable Default Communication Timeout. A “communication timeout" refers to the communication between any Modbus master host and the DXM baseboard. Set this register to 1 to enable the default condition when the host has not communicated with the DXM baseboard for the period of time

deﬁned by the Communication Default IO

Timeout.

• 2953 Communication Default I/O Timeout (100 ms/Count). This parameter

deﬁnes the host timeout period in 100 millisecond increments. If a host does not communicate within this timeout period, the device outputs are set to the default values.

• 2954 Enable Default on Power Up. Setting this parameter to 1 sends the device outputs to their default condition when the DXM baseboard is powered up. Set to 0 to disable this feature.

Default Output State. The Default Output State parameter represents the default condition of the analog output. When an error condition exists, the outputs are set to this 16-bit

user-deﬁned output state. To deﬁne the error conditions for device

outputs, refer to the MultiHop default output parameters 2950-2954. Enable Register Full Scale. Set to 1 to enable a linear range from 0 to 65535 for speciﬁed input range. For a 4 to 20 mA

output, a value of 0 represents 4 mA and 65535 represents 20 mA. Set this parameter to 0 to store readings in

unit-speciﬁc

data. For example, the register data representing a 15.53 mA reading is 15530. For units of current (0 to 20 mA outputs), values are stored as µA (micro Amps) and voltage values are stored as mV (millivolts).

Hold Last State Enable. Set the Hold Last State to 1 to set the output to its last known value before the error occurred. Set this parameter to 0 to disable the Hold Last State and use the Default Output State setting during an error condition.

Maximum Analog Value. The Maximum Analog Value register stores the maximum allowed analog value. The

speciﬁc units of measure apply to the register value. For example, the register may contain 20000, for 20 mA, or for a voltage output the register may contain 8000, for 8 volts.

20 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: +1.763.544.3164

Minimum Analog Value. The Minimum Analog Value register stores the minimum allowed analog value. The speciﬁc units of measure apply to register value. For example, the register may contain 4000, for 4 mA, or for a voltage output the register may contain 2000, for 2 volts.

4.5.4 Modbus I/O Registers for the DXM100-S1x I/O Base Board

Pin Description

Pin 4 Solar or backup battery positive input. Battery voltage must be less than 15 V dc. Use only a sealed lead

acid (SLA) battery.

5.2.1 Using Courtesy Power or Switch Power

Pin 18 of the DXM100-Sx Modbus Slave is a constant power source that supplies 5 volts up to 500 mA. Pins 21 (switch power 2) and 30 (switch power 1) are switched power outputs.

Modbus registers or by using the DXM Conﬁguration Tool's Settings > I/O Board screen. The output voltage can be selected and is controlled using a Modbus register on the I/O board (Modbus slave ID 200). The voltage options are:

• 5 volts or 16 volts for DXM100-B1 models; or

• 5 to 24 V dc for DXM100-B2 models.

Turn the switched power on or off using the output register 505 for switch power 1 or 506 for switch power 2. For continuous power, set the Default Output register to 1, then cycle the power.

5.2.2 Associating a Switched Power Output to an Input

Use the DXM Switched power 1 and 2 (pins 30 and 21) can be associated to any Universal input to apply power a sensor, take a reading,

and then remove power from the sensor. This conserves power in battery-operated systems. The switched power supply can be used in one of two different ways: supplying courtesy power to an output pin or associated to an input. (Only one method can be active at a time.)

Output Register

Write to the Output register to turn on or turn off the voltage output. If both Output Registers 505 and 506 are turned on at the same time, but are set to different voltages, the output

voltage is 5 V for DXM100-B1 models and set to the lower voltage setting for DXM100-B2 models.

Switched Power Enable

Enables the switched power supply. Set to 1 to enable; set to 0 to disable. This does not enable the supply output to the actual output pin. To enable the supply output to the output pin, set

Modbus register 505 or 506 to 1. Set to 0 when associating the switched power supply to an input.

Voltage

For the B1 and S1 models, set the Modbus register value to 0 for a switched power supply at 5 volts. Se the Modbus register value to 1 for a switched power supply at 16 volts.

For the B2 and S2 models, set one of the following register values to select your switched power output voltage.

For 5 V, set the Modbus register to 204. For 7 V, set the Modbus register to 125. For 10 V, set the Modbus register to 69. For 15 V, set the Modbus register to 32. For 20 V, set the Modbus register to 12. For 24 V, set the Modbus register to 3.

When associating a switched power supply to an input, set the Switch Power Output Enable register to off (0). Set Modbus register 2201 for switched power 1 and Modbus register 2251 for switched power 2. This allows the input sampling mechanism to control the output.

DXM100-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave

Extended Input Read

The Extended Input Read is a bit ﬁeld parameter that allows multiple inputs to be sampled with the same switch power parameters.

If the bit ﬁeld is set to 0x000F, the ﬁrst four inputs are sampled after the switch power parameters are satisﬁed. If the Extended Input Read parameter is set in the Universal input 1 conﬁguration registers, set Universal inputs 2

through 4 Extended Input Read and Sample Interval parameters to zero.

Input Enable

Set to 1 to enable the input. Set to 0 to disable the input.

Out-of-Sync Enable

To enable the input to continue operating when the device is out of sync with the master radio, set to 1. To disable the input when the device is not synchronized to the master radio, set to 0.

Sample Interval (high), Sample Interval (low)

The sample interval (rate) is a 32-bit value (requires two Modbus registers) that represents how often the I/O board samples the input.

The register value is the number of time units. One time unit is equal to 0.01 seconds. For example, a Modbus register value of 1000 represents a sample interval of 10 seconds (1000 × 0.010 seconds =

10 seconds).

Switch Power Enable Mask

The Switch Power Enable Mask works with the warm-up and voltage parameters to

deﬁne the switch power

output. The bit mask can select any number of switch powers.

0x0 - No switch power enabled 0x1 - Enable Switch Power 1 0x2 - Enable Switch Power 2 0x3 - Enable Switch Power 1 and Switch Power 2

Switch Power Voltage

The Switch Power Voltage parameter

deﬁnes the output voltage of the switch power output.

This parameter applies only to inputs using switched power. If switch power is not used with an input, use the Courtesty Power Voltage parameter to control the voltage.

See

Voltage

entry for Modbus register values used to select the output voltage.

Switch Power Warm-up

When an input controls power to external sensors, the Switch Power Warm-up parameter deﬁnes how long power is applied to the external sensor before the input point is examined for changes.

The register value is the number of time units, and a time unit is 0.01 seconds. For a warm-up time of 1 second, this parameter value is 100 (0.01 seconds × 100 = 1 second).

Associate Universal Input 1 with Switch Power 1

To associate universal input 1 with switched power 1, follow these instructions. Set Input 1 to sample every 60 seconds, with a warmup time of 10 seconds.

1. Verify Switched Power 1 Output Enable is off (0). Set Modbus Register 2201 = 0

2. Set the Sample Interval to 1 minute. Modbus Registers 1002 = 0, 1003= 6000 (0.01 seconds × 6000 = 60 seconds).

3. Set the Switched Power Enable Mask to use Switch Power 1. Modbus Register 1004 = 1

4. Set the Switched Power Warm-up time to 10 seconds. Modbus Register 1005 = 1000 (0.01 seconds × 1000 = 10 seconds).

5. Set the Switched Power Voltage to 16 volts. Modbus Register 1006 = 1.

5.2.3 Connecting a Battery to the DXM Slave

When attaching a battery to the DXM Slave as a backup battery or as a solar battery, verify the charging algorithm is set properly. The factory default setting for the battery charging algorithm assumes you are using 12 to 30 V dc to recharge the battery.

The charging algorithm is designed to work with a sealed lead acid (SLA) battery only.

• When using 12 to 30 V dc, connect the 12 to 30 V dc + to pin 2 and connect the ground to pin 3.

• When using main dc power with a back up battery (default (+) and to pin 3 (-). Connect the 12 V sealed lead acid battery to pin 4 (+) and pin 5 (-). The incoming main power must be 15 to 30 V dc to charge the battery.

5.3 Working with Solar Power

A reliable solar system requires careful planning and monitoring to size the components correctly. The recommendations provided are for the DXM Slave system as an autonomous system.

Adding extra components increases the power requirements and likely requires increasing the solar system components. Depending upon the geographical location, the size of the solar panel and battery may vary.

5.3.1 Setting the DXM Slave for Solar Power

By default, the DXM Slave is set from the factory to charge a backup battery from a line power source.

5.3.2 Solar Components

The components of a solar system include the battery and the solar panel.

Battery

The DXM solar controller is designed to use a 12 V lead acid battery. The characteristics of a solar system require the battery to be of a certain type. There are basically two types of lead acid batteries:

• SLI batteries (Starting Lights Ignition) designed for quick bursts of energy, like starting engines

• Deep Cycle batteries - greater long-term energy delivery. This is the best choice for a solar battery.

Since a solar system charges and discharges daily, a deep cycle battery is the best choice. There are different versions of a lead acid battery: wet cell

Wet cell batteries are the original type of rechargeable battery and come in two styles, serviceable and maintenance free. Wet cell batteries typically require special attention to ventilation as well as periodic maintenance but are the lowest cost. The gel cell and AGM battery are sealed batteries that cost more but store very well and do not tend to sulfate or degrade as easily as a wet cell. Gel or AGM batteries are the safest lead acid batteries you can use.

Battery Capacity

(ﬂooded), gel cell, and an AGM (absorbed glass mat).

Battery capacity is a function of the ambient temperature and the rate of discharge. Depending upon the speciﬁc battery, a battery operating at –30 °C can have as much as 40 percent less capacity than a battery operating at 20 °C. Choose enough battery capacity based on your geographical location.

A larger capacity battery typically lasts longer for a given solar application because lead-acid batteries do not like deep cycling (discharging a large percentage of its capacity). Depending upon the battery, a battery discharging only 30 percent of its capacity before recharging will have approximately 1100 charge/discharge cycles. The same battery discharging 50 percent of its capacity will have approximately 500 charge/discharge cycles. Discharging 100 percent leaves the battery with only 200 charge/discharge cycles.

Batteries degrade over time based on discharge/charge cycles and environmental conditions. Always monitor the battery system to obtain the best performance of the solar powered system.

Use this as a guide to the approximate state of charge and in determining when to apply conservation measures.

Solar Panel

Banner solar panels come in two common sizes for the DXM Slave: 5 Watt and 20 Watt. Both panels are designed to work with the DXM Slave but provide different charging characteristics. Use the 5 watt panel for light duty operation and use the 20 watt panel when you require greater charging capabilities.

Photovoltaic panels are very sensitive to shading. Unlike solar thermal panels, PV solar panels cannot tolerate shading from a branch of a leaﬂess tree or small amounts of snow in the corners of the panel. Because all cells are connected in a series string, the weakest cell will bring down the other cells' power level.

Good quality solar panels will not degrade much from year to year, typically less than 1 percent . Solar Panel Mounting To capture the maximum amount of solar radiation throughout the year, mount a ﬁxed solar panel to optimize the sun's

energy throughout the year. For the northern hemisphere, face the panel true south. For the southern hemisphere, face the panel true north. If you are using a compass to orientate the panels, compensate for the difference between true north and magnetic north. Magnetic declination varies across the globe.

A solar panel's average tilt from horizontal is at an angle equal to the latitude of the site location. For optimum performance, adjust the tilt by plus 15 degrees in the winter or minus 15 degrees in the summer. For a

ﬁxed panel with a consistent power requirement throughout the year, adjust the tilt angle to optimize for the winter months: latitude plus 15 degrees. Although in the summer months the angle may not be the most efﬁcient, there are more hours of solar energy available.

For sites with snow in the winter months, the increased angle helps to shed snow. A solar panel covered in snow produces little or no power.

5.3.3 Recommended Solar Conﬁgurations

Modbus I/O Registers for the

Potentiometer Input

A potentiometer input is created from three inputs: a voltage source (pin 30) that supplies 5 V to the potentiometer and two inputs set to voltage inputs to read the voltage across the potentiometer. See the DXM tech note for setting up a potentiometer.

Bridge Input

The bridge input is not implemented yet.

NPN vs NPN Raw Fast

The difference between NPN and NPN Raw Fast is the amount of settling time given to the input. Switch the input type to NPN if the input is not detecting a transition.

Synchronous Counters

When an input is

conﬁgured as a counter (inputs set to NPN/PNP), the input counts the input signal transitions. The count value is stored into two 16-bit Modbus registers for a total count of 32-bits (unsigned). To program an input to capture the edge transition counts, follow

Example: Conﬁgure Input 1 as a Synchronous Counter

on page 19.

Synchronous counter sample the inputs every 10 ms. The input logic does not detect rising or falling edges, but instead samples the input every 10 ms to

ﬁnd level changes. The input signals must be high or low for more than 10 ms or the input will not detect transitions. Because most signals are not perfect, a realistic limit for the synchronous counter would be 30 to 40 Hz.

Example:

Conﬁgure Input 1 as a Synchronous Counter

1. Change the Source Register selection to I/O Board Registers.

2. In the Write Registers area, write Modbus register 4908 to 1 to enable counting on the rising edge of the input signal.

3. Read Modbus registers 4910 and 4911 to get the 32-bit value of the count.

Example: Change Universal Input 2 to a 0 to 10 V dc Input

1. Write a 3 to Modbus register 3326 on Modbus Slave ID 11 (I/O board).

2. Cycle power to the device.

Enable Register Full Scale. Set to 1 to enable a linear range from 0 to 65535 for speciﬁed input range. For a 4 to 20 mA output, a value of 0 represents 4 mA and 65535 represents 20 mA. Set this parameter to 0 to store readings in unit-speciﬁc data. For example, the register data representing a 15.53 mA reading is 15530. For units of current (0 to 20 mA outputs), values are stored as µA (micro Amps) and voltage values are stored as mV (millivolts).

Hold Last State Enable. Set the Hold Last State to 1 to set the output to its last known value before the error occurred. Set this parameter to 0 to disable the Hold Last State and use the Default Output State setting during an error condition.

Maximum Analog Value. The Maximum Analog Value register stores the maximum allowed analog value. The

speciﬁc units of measure apply to the register value. For example, the register may contain 20000, for 20 mA, or for a voltage output the register may contain 8000, for 8 volts.

Minimum Analog Value. The Minimum Analog Value register stores the minimum allowed analog value. The speciﬁc units of measure apply to register value. For example, the register may contain 4000, for 4 mA, or for a voltage output the register may contain 2000, for 2 volts.

SDI-12 Device Settings

The following are generic sampling, power and warmup parameters that should work for all SDI-12 devices. See the tested device table below. In most cases, parameters will not need to be adjusted but if needed there are three common SDI-12 device parameters that control the communications and power of the SDI-12 device. Contact Banner Engineering Corp support for more guidance.

• Sample Rate. Formed using two 16-bit parameters, a HI word and a LOW word. The sample rate is how often the SDI-12 device is powered up, then interrogated for data. The value in the registers is the number of 0.010 second counts. For example, the default value is 22,500, which calculates to a sample rate of 22500 × 0.010 seconds. Adjusting this value affects the battery life.

• Warmup time. Amount of time to wait, in 0.010 second increments, from powering on the device to the time to send communications to the device. The default value is 50, or 50 × 0.010 seconds. Adjusting this value affects the battery life.

• Voltage. The default voltage setting is 6 volts or a register value of 168. Adjusting this value affects the battery life.
