The DXM1200-B1 Wireless Controller is an industrial wireless controller that facilitates Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
applications. As a communications gateway, it interfaces local serial ports, local I/O ports, and local ISM radio devices to the
Internet using a cellular connection or wired Ethernet network connection.
• High Performance Wireless Communication—Uses Sure Cross® DX80 Wireless Gateway or MultiHop radio with 900 MHz
or 2.4 GHz ISM bands available for long range communication using an internal antenna
• Flexible and Customizable—Expanded internal logic controller with action rules and ScriptBasic programming capable of
developing simple or complex solutions to process, log, and control data to/from multiple wireless radios and sensors
• Easy Installation in all Environments—IP67 housing makes installation in any location simpler by eliminating the need for a
control cabinet
• Improved Speed and Memory—Upgraded internal processor to use 2850 32-bit integer registers, 2000 floating-point
registers, and 1050 non-volatile 32-bit integer registers; expanded ScriptBasic programming capability for faster script
processing and ability to build more complex solutions with scripts
• External Communications—Optional cellular modem with internal antenna for internet
connectivity
• Industry Compatibility—Automation protocols include Modbus/TCP, Modbus RTU, and
EtherNet/IP™ for communications between PLCs, HMIs, or other local hosts
• Cloud Connectivity—Visualize data and set alarms by sending data from the DXM1200 to the
cloud either through BannerCDS.com or third-party cloud sites
• Customizable Alerts—Secure email for alarms and alerts
• Data logged to a removable SD card or sent via email
• Interactive programmable user interface with LCD and LED indicators
• Industry standard RS-485, Ethernet, and USB communication ports

WARNING:
• Do not use this device for personnel protection
• Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
• This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or deenergized (off) output condition.
Important:
• Never operate a 1 Watt radio without connecting an antenna
• Operating 1 Watt radios without an antenna connected will damage the radio circuitry.
• To avoid damaging the radio circuitry, never apply power to a Sure Cross® Performance or Sure Cross
MultiHop (1 Watt) radio without an antenna connected.

Important:
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive device
• ESD can damage the device. Damage from inappropriate handling is not covered by warranty.
• Use proper handling procedures to prevent ESD damage. Proper handling procedures include leaving
devices in their anti-static packaging until ready for use; wearing anti-static wrist straps; and assembling
units on a grounded, static-dissipative surface.
