1.2 DXM Automation Protocols

The DXM700 supports the following automation protocols.

6 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767

Sure Cross® DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller

Modbus RTU

The DXM700 manages two separate physical ports running the Modbus RTU protocol. The DXM700 is the Modbus Master when operating the Modbus master RTU port. The DXM700 uses the master Modbus RTU bus to communicate with locally connected Modbus devices or uses the Banner wireless radio to communicate with remote Modbus devices.

The other Modbus RTU port is used by a host system to access the DXM700 as a slave device. The slave Modbus RTU port allows access all the internal registers concurrently with the master RTU port. Set the slave Modbus ID using the LCD menu: SYSTEM CONFIG > DXM Modbus ID.

By default, the Modbus RTU ports are active. Conﬁgure the port parameters using the DXM Conﬁguration Tool.

Modbus TCP/IP

A host system acting as a Modbus client can access the DXM700 using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol over Ethernet. Standard Modbus port 502 is used by the DXM700 for all Modbus TCP/IP requests.

All internal registers are available to the host system concurrently with Modbus RTU.

By default, Modbus TCP/IP is active. The DXM700 as a client is conﬁgured Conﬁguration Tool.

EtherNet/IP

The Ethernet port is actively running EtherNet/IP. From the factory the DXM700 is conﬁgured to read and write registers on DX80 wireless devices 1 through 16. Custom conﬁgurations can be set using the DXM Conﬁguration Tool.

By default, EtherNet/IP is active.

1.3 DXM Modbus Overview

The DXM700 uses internal 32-bit registers to store information. The processor's internal Local Registers serve as the main global pool of registers and are used as the common data exchange mechanism. External Modbus device registers can be read into the Local Registers or written from the local data registers.

The DXM700, as a Modbus master device or slave device, exchanges data using the Local Registers. Modbus over Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) uses the Local Registers as the accessible register data.

Using Action, Read/Write, and Threshold Rules allows you to manipulate the processor's Local Registers. The ScriptBasic programming capabilities extends the use of Local Registers with variables to create a ﬂexible programming solution for more complex applications.

The processor's Local Registers are divided into three different types: integer, ﬂoating point, and non-volatile. When using Local Registers internally, the user can store 32-bit numbers. Using Local Registers with external Modbus devices follows the Modbus standard of a 16-bit holding register. Local Registers are accessible as Modbus ID 199.

Accessing the I/O Base and the LCD follows the same communication as an external Modbus device. Each device has an ID number to uniquely identify itself. The I/O base is Modbus ID 203 and the LCD is Modbus ID 201.

1.4 DXM Conﬁguration Tool Overview

The DXM Conﬁguration Tool conﬁgures the DXM700 by creating an

ﬁle that is transferred to the DXM700 using a USB or Ethernet

XML connection. The DXM700 can also receive the XML conﬁguration ﬁle from a Web server using a cellular or Ethernet connection.

This conﬁguration ﬁle governs all aspects of the DXM700 operation. The wireless network devices are a separate conﬁgurable system. Use the DX80 User Conﬁguration Tool (UCT) to conﬁgure the internal DX80 wireless Gateway and the attached wireless Nodes. Use the MultiHop Conﬁguration Tool (MCT) if the internal radio is a MultiHop device.

All tools can be connected to the DXM700 using a USB cable or an Ethernet connection.

Equipment used:

• DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller

MQDMC-501 0.3 m (1 ft) cordset with a 5-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect ﬁtting

PS24W Wall plug power supply; 24 V dc, 1 A

Important: Verify the antenna has been installed before applying power to any DX80 product.

1. Connect the brown wire from the MQDMC-501 cordset to the DXM700's PWR terminal.

Connect the blue wire from the MQDMC-501 cordset to the DXM700's GND terminal.

3. Connect the PS24W power supply to the MQDMC-501 cordset.

4. Plug in the PSD24W wall plug power supply.

2.1.2 Binding and Conducting a Site Survey with the ISM Radio

The DXM700 internal ISM radio will either be a MultiHop master radio or a DX80 Gateway radio.

Before the ISM radio can communicate, the DXM700 must be bound to the other radios in the wireless network. Use the DXM700 LCD menu to bind radios to the internal ISM radio.

The LCD and the processor applications share the external Modbus connection. If the processor is conﬁgured to constantly interact with Modbus, it may cause issues with the LCD attempting to use the functions of the ISM radio. To alleviate the contention do one of these things:

•

Load a DXM conﬁguration ﬁle that slows down the read/write rules.

• Disable the DXM board). Reboot the device. When the processor reboots, it will not load the conﬁguration ﬁle and remains idle. See the DXM100 Controller Instructional Manual (190037) for the processor DIP switch location.

Bind a DX80 Node to a DXM Gateway and Assign the Node Address

Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate radios by 2 meters when running binding procedure. Put only one DXM Gateway into binding at a time to prevent binding to the wrong Gateway.

1. Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:

a) Use the arrow keys to select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and click ENTER. b) Highlight the Binding menu and click ENTER.

2. Assign the Node address to the Node.

• For Nodes without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the Node address to assign to the DX80 Node

about to enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this Node address to the next Node that enters binding mode. Only bind one Node at a time.

• For Nodes with rotary dials: Use the Node's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal Node Address (between 01

and 47). The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (0 through 4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0 through 9) of the Node Address.

3. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by clicking ENTER on the DXM radio.

4. Enter binding mode on the DX80 Node.

• For housed radios, triple-click button 2.

• For board-level radios, triple-click the button.

• For Nodes without buttons, refer to the Node's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.

The left and right red LEDs ﬂash alternately and the Node searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the Node binds, the LEDs stay solid momentarily, then they

speciﬁc Node address.

Bind a MultiHop Radio to a DXM and Assign the Device ID

Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate radios by 2 meters when running binding procedure. Put only one DXM MultiHop master radio into binding at a time to prevent binding the slave radios to the wrong master radio.

Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:

a) Use the arrow keys select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and click ENTER. b) Highlight the Binding menu and click ENTER.

2. Assign the device address to the repeater or slave radios.

• For MultiHop radios without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the device ID to assign to the

MultiHop radio about to enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this device ID to the next radio that enters binding mode. Only bind one slave radio at a time.

• For MultiHop radios with rotary dials: Use the repeater or slave's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal device ID

3. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by clicking ENTER on the DXM radio.

4. After entering binding mode on the DXM700, put the MultiHop repeater or slave radio into binding mode.

• For housed radios, triple-click button 2.

• For board-level radios, triple-click the button.

• For radios without buttons, refer to the radio's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.

After binding is completed, the MultiHop slave automatically exits binding mode and begins operation.

5. Click BACK on the DXM to exit binding for that speciﬁc device address.

Label the MultiHop slave radio with the assigned address number for future reference.

7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, changing the device address for as many MultiHop slaves as are needed for your network.

8. When you are ﬁnished binding, click BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu. All radio devices begin to form the network after the master data radio exits binding mode.

Conduct a Site Survey

Although the MultiHop and DX80 devices are architecturally different, the site survey process is similar when conducted from the DXM LCD menu.

For a DX80 network, the Gateway controls the site survey and the results display on the LCD. Running Site Survey on a DX80 network does not affect the throughput of the DX80 network.

For a MulitHop network, the master device passes the site survey request to the intended Modbus slave device. The Site Survey runs and the results display on the LCD. Running Site Survey on a MultiHop network stops all network trafﬁc to that device.

From the ISM Radio menu, use the down arrow to highlight the Site Survey menu. Click ENTER.

2. Use the Up or Down arrows to select the Node number (DX80 network) or Modbus Slave ID (MultiHop network). Click ENTER to run the site survey with that Node or slave.

2.2.1 Conﬁguring the Controller

The DXM700 must be conﬁgured using the DXM Conﬁguration

software

Tool

To conﬁgure the DXM700, connect the DXM700's USB or Ethernet port to a computer.

The DXM Conﬁguration Tool allows the user to deﬁne parameters for the DXM700, then saves the conﬁguration in an XML ﬁle on the PC.

After the conﬁguration ﬁle is saved, upload the XML conﬁguration ﬁle to the DXM700 for operation.

This quick start guide outlines the basic operations to set up a DXM700 using

conﬁguration software. For a more comprehensive explanation of

the features, refer the DXM700 Instruction Manual or to the to DXM Conﬁguration Tool Instruction Manual.

Figure 6. DXM Conﬁguration Tool

2.2.2 Conﬁguration Example: Reading Registers on a Modbus Slave Device

The opening page of the DXM Conﬁguration Tool displays the Local Registers tab. The local registers are the main global pool of registers that are deﬁned by the user to store data within the DXM700. The bottom status bar displays the communications status, application status, and the DXM Conﬁguration Tool version.

In this short example, we will conﬁgure the DXM700 to read six registers on an external Modbus Slave device and save the data into the local registers.

2.2.2 Step 1: Deﬁne the Local Registers

Change the name and parameter settings for each Local Register under the Local Register Conﬁguration tab.

You may change them individually or by using the Modify Multiple Registers feature.

3 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 deﬁned with R2, R4, and R5 in the model number.

The default settings for D2 DIP switches 1, 3, and 4 are ON. This allows for forcing the device into Master mode and DXM menu control for the radio power settings.

3.1.1 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.

3.1.2 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.

Sure Cross® DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller

3.1.3 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.

3.1.4 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.

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 Modbus Registers for the MultiHop Radio Board Module

The DX80 MultiHop master radio is a tree-based architecture device that allows for repeater radios to extend the wireless network. Each device in a MultiHop network is a Modbus device with a unique Modbus ID. Modbus registers in a MultiHop network are contained within each individual radio device. To get Modbus register data from a MultiHop device, conﬁgure the DXM700 to access each device across the wireless network as an individual Modbus slave device.

Example: MultiHop Modbus Register Table

Example MultiHop Modbus registers with generic devices.

MulitHop Device Slave ID Modbus Registers

DXM Master radio 1 none

Slave device 11 Modbus register 1–16 are inputs, 501–516 are outputs

Repeater device 12 Modbus register 1–16 are inputs, 501–516 are outputs

Slave device 15 Modbus register 1–16 are inputs, 501–516 are outputs

3.3 DIP Switch Settings for the Gateway Radio Board Module

The 900 MHz radios transmit at 1 Watt (30 dBm) or 250 mW (24 dBm). While the Performance radios operate in 1 Watt mode, they cannot communicate with the older 150 mW radios. To communicate with 150 mW radios, operate this radio in 250 mW mode. For 2.4 GHz models, this DIP switch is disabled. The transmit power for 2.4 GHz is ﬁxed at about 65 mW EIRP (18 dBm), making the 2.4 GHz Performance models automatically compatible with older 2.4 GHz models.

DIP Switch 1

OFF * 1 Watt (30 dBm, 900 MHz models only) (default conﬁguration)

ON 250 mW (24 dBm, 900 MHz models only), DX80 compatibility mode

3.4 Modbus Registers for the Gateway Radio Board Module

The DX80 Performance Gateway is a star-based architecture device that contains all the Modbus registers for the wireless network within the Gateway. To access any input or output values within the entire wireless network, read the appropriate Modbus register from Gateway.

There are 16 Modbus registers allocated for each device in the wireless network. The ﬁrst 16 registers (1–16) are allocated for the Gateway, the next 16 (17–32) are allocated for Node 1, the next 16 (33–48) are allocated for Node 2 and so forth. There are no inputs or outputs on the DXM embedded Gateway but the Modbus registers are still allocated for them.

Sure Cross® DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller

Although only seven Nodes are listed in the table, the Modbus register numbering continues for as many Nodes as are in the network. For example, the register number for Node 10, I/O point 15 , is 175. Calculate the Modbus register number for each device using the equation:

Input Registers and Outputs Registers

Modbus registers 2201 through 2584 are used to organize all inputs together. In this format, users can sequentially read all input registers using one Modbus message. Modbus registers 4401 through 4784 organize all outputs together to allow users to sequentially write to all outputs registers using one Modbus message.

Refer to your device's datasheet for a list of the active inputs and outputs. Not all inputs or outputs listed in this table may be active for your system.

Discrete Bit-Packed Registers

Discrete bit-packed registers include the discrete status registers, discrete inputs, and discrete outputs.

Bit packing involves using a single register, or range of contiguous registers, to represent I/O values.

When networks use similar Nodes to gather data using the same I/O registers for each Node, discrete data from multiple Nodes can be bit packed into a single register on the Gateway. The bit-packed data is arranged by I/O point starting at Modbus register 6601. For example, Discrete IN 1 for all the Nodes in the network is stored in three contiguous 16-bit registers.

The most efﬁcient way to read (or write) discrete data from a SureCross® DX80 Gateway is by using these bit-packed registers because users can read or write registers for all devices using one Modbus message. The following registers contain discrete bit-packed I/O values for the Gateway and all Nodes. Values are stored ﬁrst for the Gateway, then for each Node in order of Node address.

Status registers (6601-6603) contain a bit-packed representation

deﬁning the devices that are operational in the wireless

system.

A one (1) written to the Discrete Status Register area indicates the device is active within the wireless system. A zero (0) indicates the device is not active within the wireless network.

Input registers from all devices use Modbus registers 6611 through 6683 to organize the least signiﬁcant bit into a sequential array of registers. The ﬁrst register contains the least signiﬁcant bit from the input values for the Gateway through Node 15. The second register contains the input values for Node 16 through Node 31, and the third register contains the input values for Nodes 32 through 47.

For discrete inputs, only the least signiﬁcant bit is used. For analog inputs, the least signiﬁcant bit indicates if the analog value is above or below the selected threshold value (when using the threshold parameter). For example, a least signiﬁcant bit of one (1) indicates the analog value is above the selected threshold value. A least signiﬁcant bit of zero (0) indicates the analog value is below the threshold value.

Output registers from all devices use Modbus registers 6691 through 6753 to organize the least signiﬁcant

bit into a

sequential array of registers. Output 8 (I/O point 16) cannot be written using the discrete format.

Analog 16-Bit Registers (Registers 6801 through 9098)

The most efﬁcient way to read (or write) analog data from a Gateway is by using these 16-bit analog registers. Most networks consist of similar Nodes reporting data using the same I/O registers for each Node. For this reason, the analog data is arranged by I/O point using Modbus registers 6801 through 9098. For example, Input 1 for Gateway and all Nodes is stored in the ﬁrst 48 contiguous blocks of 16-bit analog registers, beginning with register 6801.

In this format, users can read a 16-bit holding register for all devices or write to a register for all devices using one Modbus message. Using these registers is the most analog outputs.

The following registers contain analog I/O values for the Gateway and all Nodes. Values are stored ﬁrst for the Gateway, then for each Node in order of Node address.

4.2 Ethernet

Before applying power to the DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller, verify the Ethernet cable is connected. If the Ethernet cable is not connected when the device powers up, the DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller will not recognize the connection.

The number of times the processor attempts to connect to the Ethernet network is conﬁgured in the DXM Conﬁguration Tool (Settings > Network Ethernet Connection Acquisition). The default setting is two retries one minute after the device boots up another retry two minutes later.

The Ethernet connection supports the DXM Conﬁguration Tool, Modbus/TCP, and EtherNet/IP. ScriptBasic also has access to Ethernet for custom programming. Use the DXM Conﬁguration Tool to conﬁgure the characteristics of the Ethernet connection, ﬁxed IP addresses, DHCP, etc. The LCD menu allows the user to change the IP Address.

Ethernet parameter changes entered through the LCD menu override the XML conﬁguration parameters. To return to using the network settings in the XML conﬁguration ﬁle, remove the Ethernet parameters deﬁned by the LCD menu using the System Conﬁg > Ethernet > Reset menu.

4.4 Modbus Registers for the Internal Local Registers (Modbus Slave ID 199)

The main storage elements for the DXM700 are its Local Registers, which can store 4-byte values that result from register mapping, action rules, or ScriptBasic commands.

Local Registers updated from Modbus transactions are restricted to a16-bit data value to follow standard Modbus Holding Register deﬁnition.

The Local Registers deﬁned in Action Rules must all be within the same register group. For example, an Action Rule cannot have inputs from an integer group with the result register deﬁned as a ﬂoating point register. To move between integers and ﬂoats, use the Register Copy Rule.

• Local Registers 1–850 and 5001–7000 are 32-bit integer registers

• Local Registers 851–900 and 7001–8000 are non-volatile 32-bit integer registers

• Local Registers 901-1000 are reserved for internal use

• Local Registers 1001–5000 are ﬂoating point format numbers, each address stores half of a ﬂoating point number; for example, registers 1001 and 1002 store the

• Local Registers 10000 and higher are read only virtual registers; virtual registers collect various system-level data

Local Registers 1–850 and 5001–7000 (Internal Processor Memory, 32-bit, Unsigned)—The Local Registers are the main global pool of registers. Local Registers are used as basic storage registers and as the common data exchange mechanism. External Modbus device registers can be read into the Local Registers or written from the Local Registers. The DXM700, as

26 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767

Sure Cross® DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller

a Modbus master device or a Modbus slave device, exchanges data using the Local Registers. Modbus over Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) uses the Local Registers as the accessible register data.

Local Registers 851–900 and 7001–8000 (Data Flash, Non-volatile, 32-bit, Unsigned)—The top 50 Local Registers are special non-volatile registers. The registers can store constants or calibration type data that must be maintained when power is turned off. This register data is stored in a data ﬂash component that has a limited write capability of 100,000 cycles, so these registers should not be used as common memory registers that change frequently.

Local Registers 1001–5000— These Local Registers are paired together to store a 32-bit IEEE ﬂoating

point format number in big endian format. Registers 1001 [31:16], 1002 [15:0] store the ﬁrst ﬂoating point value; registers 1003, 1004 store the second ﬂoating point number. There are a total of 2000 ﬂoating point values; they are addressed as two 16-bit pieces to accommodate the Modbus protocol. Use these registers when reading/writing external devices that require Modbus registers in ﬂoating point format. Since Modbus transactions are 16-bits, the protocol requires two registers to form a 32-bit ﬂoating point number.

Virtual Registers—The DXM700 has a small pool of virtual registers that show internal variables of the main processor. Some register values will be dependent upon the conﬁguration settings of the DXM700. Do not use Read Rules to move Virtual Local Registers data into Local Registers. Use the Action Rule > Register Copy function to move Virtual Local Registers into Local Registers space (1-850).

4.7 Modbus Master Port and Slave Port

There are two RS-485 ports on the DXM700, a Modbus master RS-485 port and a Modbus slave RS-485 port.

The Modbus master RS-485 is controlled by the DXM700, which acts as the Modbus master. All wired devices connected to the master RS-485 port must be slave devices.

The Modbus slave RS-485 port is controlled by another Modbus master device, not the DXM700. The slave port is used by other devices that want to access the DXM700 as a Modbus slave device. All local registers are available to be read or written from this slave port. Set the Modbus Slave ID for the secondary RS-485 port using the LCD display menu: System > DXM Slave ID.

4.7.1 Modbus Master and Slave Port Settings

The basic communications parameters for the RS-485 ports are set in the DXM Conﬁguration Tool and are saved in the XML conﬁguration ﬁle. All basic settings are available under Settings > General screen of the DXM Conﬁguration Tool.

Master port parameters include:

• Baud rate and parity

•

Set the Communications Timeout parameter to cover the expected time for messages to be sent throughout the wireless network. For the DXM700, the Communications Timeout parameter is the maximum amount of time the DXM700 should wait after a request is sent until the response message is received from the Modbus slave device.

• Maximum Polling Rate sets the minimum wait time from the end of a Modbus transaction to the beginning of the next Modbus transaction.

Conﬁg submenus are:

6.5.1 ISM Radio

DX80/MultiHop ID—The ISM radio is set at the factory to be Modbus device address 1 (Modbus ID 1). For some applications, you may need to change the Modbus ID. Adjust the Modbus device address using the LCD menu system. Any other method may cause issues with the DXM700 not knowing which Modbus device address is assigned to the radio, which causes issues with running Binding or Site Survey from the LCD menu.

Set the radio Modbus ID to a valid number (1 through 247) that is not being used by the DXM system. Processor Local Registers allocate ID 199, the I/O board is set to ID 200, and the display board is set to ID 201. With a DX80 Gateway (star

network), it's easy to choose a new ID. With a MultiHop network, remember that the master MultiHop radio allocates a range of Modbus IDs for wireless devices, typically 11 through 110.

When setting the new ISM Modbus ID, the system changes the Modbus ID on the internal radio and changes the reference to it on the DXM700. The reference Modbus ID is what the DXM700 uses to access the internal radio when running Binding or Site Survey.

Auto Detect Radio—If the internal Modbus ID of the radio was changed or the internal radio was changed, but not recorded, use Auto Detect Radio to determine the radio ID and radio type. The auto-detect routine broadcasts discovery messages and waits for a response. If other devices are connected to the external RS-485 ports, they may need to be disconnected for this process to work properly.

Advanced Options—The Advanced Options menu is typically not used unless the Modbus ID is changed without the DXM700 being involved, such as when you write directly to the radio Modbus registers.

38 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767

• Reference Type selects the radio type between DX80 star architecture radios and a MultiHop radio. The DXM700 uses this reference to determine how to communicate to the internal radio. If set incorrectly, the DXM700 may not be able to run Site Survey from the LCD menu. Unless you are changing or adding the internal radio device, there should no reason to change the radio type.

• Reference Modbus ID deﬁnes the Modbus ID the DXM700 uses when communicating with the internal radio. If this is set incorrectly, the DXM700 will not be able to run Binding or Site Survey through the LCD menu.

6.5.2 Ethernet

Use the Ethernet submenu to sets the IP Address, Gateway Address, and Subnet mask of the DXM700's Ethernet interface. You may change these settings either from the LCD menu (System Conﬁg > Ethernet) or from the XML conﬁguration ﬁle created by the DXM Conﬁguration Tool.

The network address settings from the LCD menu have the highest priority and override settings in the XML conﬁguration ﬁle. To use the parameter settings from the XML conﬁguration ﬁle or use DHCP, execute the Reset under System Conﬁg > Ethernet or use the LCD display to set the IP Address, Gateway Address, and Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.255. Reboot the DXM700 after changing the Ethernet parameters.

The Ethernet cable should be attached before powering up the DXM700.

6.5.3 DXM Modbus ID

Use the secondary Modbus RS-485 port when the DXM700 is connected to a Modbus RTU network as a Modbus slave device. Set the Modbus ID for the secondary RS-485 port using the LCD display menu System Conﬁg > DXM Modbus ID.

6.5.4 LCD Contrast

Use the LCD Contrast option to adjust the LCD contrast. Adjust the starting number lower to decrease the display contrast. The factory default is 28. Do not set a number less than 15 or the display may not be bright enough to see to change back.

6.5.5 Reset

Use the Restart menu to force the main processor to restart. This does not affect the other boards in the system.

7 Working with Modbus Devices

The DXM700 has two physical RS-485 connections using Modbus RTU protocol.

The master Modbus RS-485 port is for the DXM700 to act as a Modbus master device to control internal and external Modbus slave devices.

The Modbus master RS-485 port is labeled M+ and M- on the DXM700. The Modbus slave port is used when another Modbus master device wants to communicate with the DXM700 when the DXM700 is a Modbus slave device.

The Modbus slave RS-485 port is labeled S+ and S1 on the DXM700.

The DXM700 has dual Modbus roles: a Modbus slave device and a Modbus master device. These run as separate processes.

The Modbus slave port can only access the DXM700 local registers. To operate as a Modbus slave device, the DXM700 needs to be assigned a unique Modbus slave ID as it pertains to the host Modbus network. This slave ID is separate from the internal Modbus slave IDs the DXM700 uses for its own Modbus network. The DXM Modbus slave ID is deﬁned through the LCD menu. Other Modbus slave port parameters are deﬁned by using the DXM Conﬁguration Tool.

The DXM700 operates the Modbus master port. Each device on the master port must be assigned a unique slave ID. There are slave IDs that are reserved for internal devices in the DXM700.

7.1 Assigning Modbus Slave IDs

Assign the DXM Modbus Slave ID only if a Modbus master device is reading or writing the DXM700 Local Register data through the Modbus RS-485 slave port (S+, S-).

Conﬁguration

Tool under the Settings > General tab.

DXM Master Conﬁguration—When the DXM700 operates as a Modbus master device, use the DXM Conﬁguration Tool to conﬁgure read or write operations of the DXM Modbus network. The DXM700 communicates with all internal and external peripheral devices using the external Modbus bus RS-485 (M+, M-)

There are four internal Modbus slave devices that are conﬁgured from the factory with slave IDs. Assign slave IDs of 2 through 10 to Modbus slave devices that are physically wired to the DXM700. Assign slave IDs or 11 through 60 to wireless slaves within the MultiHop network.

Do not assign a slave ID of greater than 10 to Modbus slave devices that are physically wired using the RS-485 port if there is an internal MultiHop ISM radio in the DXM700. The MultiHop ISM radio attempts to send any Modbus data intended for slaves 11–60 across the radio network, which conﬂicts with wired slave devices if the slave IDs overlap. The MultiHop master radio can be changed from the factory default of 11–60 Modbus slave IDs if more hardwired slaves are required.

7.2 Modbus Operation

All Modbus transactions are managed by a central Modbus engine. If there are Modbus messages intended for a Modbus slave that doesn't exist, the Modbus engine waits for a response until the timeout period is expired. This slows down the Modbus polling loop for read and write operations. For this reason, verify all Modbus read and write operations are intended for Modbus slave devices that are in the network.

If a Modbus slave is not in the network, either a wired or wireless device, the operation of the LCD menu system can be compromised. Operations like Binding, Site Survey, or accessing the ISM menu may be slower. This is because all internal devices of the DXM700 are also Modbus slaves, ISM radio, I/O base board, LCD, and internal Local registers.

7.3 Wireless and Wired Devices

Wireless DX80 Gateway—The DX80 Gateway architecture is a star architecture in which all Nodes in the system send their data back to the Gateway. The host can access the entire network data from the Gateway, which is Modbus slave ID 1. Because the DXM700 will not be sending any Modbus messages across the wireless link, the timeout parameter can be set low (less than 1 second) and the device is treated like a directly connected device.

MultiHop Master—The MultiHop master radio forms a wireless tree network using repeaters and slave devices. Each device in a MultiHop network must be assigned a unique Modbus Slave ID and is accessed as a separate device.

For the DXM700 to talk with a MultiHop device in the wireless network, the master MultiHop device interrogates every message on the RS-485 bus. If they are within the wireless devices range (slave IDs 11 though 60), the message is sent across the wireless network. To change this range, the user must adjust the offset and range setting in the MultiHop master radio (Modbus Slave ID 1). Modbus register 6502 holds the Modbus offset, default 11. Modbus register 6503 holds the number of Modbus slaves allowed (maximum of 100).

wireless devices.

7.4 Modbus Communication Timeouts

A Modbus timeout is the amount of time a Modbus slave is given to return an acknowledgment of a message sent by the Modbus master. If the Modbus master waits for the timeout period and no response is seen, the Modbus master considers it a lost message and continues on to the next operation.

www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 43

Sure Cross® DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller

The timeout parameter is simple to set for Modbus devices directly connected to the DXM700, if there are no MultiHop wireless devices. If a MultiHop network a part of the DXM700, special considerations need to be made to set the timeout parameter.

Wireless communications are inherently lossy networks, and controllers operating these networks must be conﬁgured to allow for enough time for hardware transmission retries. Set the Communications Timeout parameter to cover the expected time for messages to be sent throughout the wireless network. For the DXM700, the Communications Timeout parameter is the maximum amount of time the DXM700 should wait after a request is sent until the response message is received from the Modbus slave device. Use the DXM

The default setting for the timeout parameter is 5 seconds.

Conﬁguration Tool to set the timeout parameter on the Settings > General screen.

7.4.1 MultiHop Networks vs DX80 Star Networks

The DX80 star Gateway collects all the data from the Nodes, which allows the host system to directly read the data from the Gateway without sending messages across the wireless network. This allows for DX80 Gateway to be treated like any other wired Modbus device.

In a MultiHop network, the data resides at each device, forcing the controller to send messages across the wireless network to access the data. For this reason, carefully consider the value of the wireless timeout parameter.

7.4.2 Calculating the Communications Timeout for Battery-Powered MultiHop Radios

Battery-powered MultiHop radios are allowed communications window for receive messages is slow (once per 1.3 seconds) and sending message rates are standard (once per 0.04 seconds).

A MultiHop device is set from the factory with the retry parameter of 8. This means that under worst-case conditions, a message is sent from the DXM700 to an end device a total of nine times (one initial message and eight retry messages). The end device sends the acknowledgment message back to the DXM700 a maximum of nine times (one initial message and eight retries). A single Modbus transaction may send up to two messages + 16 retry messages before the transaction is complete. In addition, the radios randomly wait up to one time period before retransmitting a retry message. So to allow for the random wait time, add one extra time period for each in-between time of retries.

To calculate the communication timeout parameter for a Master radio to a slave radio (no repeaters):

Master to Slave Send time = (9 × 1.3 sec) + (8 retry wait × 1.3 sec) = 22 seconds Slave to Master Send time = (9 × 0.04 sec) + (8 retry wait × 0.04 sec) = 1 second Total Send/Receive time = 23 seconds Minimum Timeout period = 23 seconds

If the link quality of the network is poor, the maximum transfer times may happen. Set the timeout parameter to accommodate the maximum number of retries that may happen in your application.

When MultiHop repeaters are added into the wireless network, each additional level of hierarchical network increases the required timeout period. Since MultiHop repeaters are running at the highest communications rate, the overall affect is not as great.

Master to Repeater Send time = (9 × 0.04 sec) + (8 retry wait × 0.04 sec) = 1 second Repeater to Master Send time = (9 × 0.04 sec) + (8 retry wait × 0.04 sec) = 1 second Additional Timeout period for a repeater = 2 seconds

Using the timeout calculation above of 23 seconds, if a repeater is added to the network the timeout should be set to 25 seconds. For each additional MultiHop repeater device creating another level of network hierarchy, add an additional two seconds to the timeout period.

conﬁgured to run efﬁciently to maximize battery life. By optimizing battery life, the

7.4.3 Calculating the Communication Timeout for 10–30 VDC MultiHop Radios

Line-powered (10–30 V dc) MultiHop devices operate at the maximum communication rate, resulting in a much lower timeout parameter setting. For each repeater added to the network, increase the timeout parameter 2 seconds.

For a Master radio to a 10–30 V dc powered slave radio (no repeaters):

Master to Slave Send time = (9 × 0.04 sec) + (8 retry wait × 0.04 sec) = 1 second Slave to Master Send time = (9 ×* 0.04 sec) + (8 retry wait × 0.04 sec) = 1 second Total Send/Receive time = 2 seconds

44 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767

Sure Cross® DXM700-Bx Wireless Controller

Minimum Timeout period = 2 seconds

7.4.4 Adjusting the Receive Slots and Retry Count Parameters

The number of receive slots governs how often a MultiHop device can communicate on the wireless network.

Battery-powered devices typically have DIP switches that allow the user to set the number of receive slots, which directly affects the battery life of the radio. Adjusting the receive slots changes how often a message can be received. By default, the receive slots are set to 4 (every 1.3 seconds). When the receive slots are set to 32, the radio listens for an incoming message every 0.16 seconds.

Users may also leave the retry mechanism to the application that is accessing the wireless network, in this case the DXM700. Adjust the number of retries in the MultiHop devices by writing the number of retries desired to Modbus register

6012. The factory default setting is 8.

7.4.5 Calculating the Communication Timeout for a DX80 Star Network

In the DX80 network, all Node data is automatically collected at the Gateway to be read. The DXM700 does not use the wireless network to access the data, which allows for much faster messaging and much lower timeout values.

For a DXM700 with an internal DX80 Gateway, set the timeout value 0.5 seconds. If other Modbus slave devices are connected to the RS-485 lines, the timeout parameter governs all communication transactions and must be set to accommodate all devices on the bus.

7.5 Modbus TCP Client

The DXM700 can operate as a Modbus TCP client on Ethernet. Users may deﬁne up to ﬁve TCP server devices to read Modbus register data over Ethernet. Use the DXM Conﬁguration Tool to deﬁne and conﬁgure Modbus TCP client communications with other Modbus TCP servers.

8.2 Authentication Setup

The DXM700 has three different areas that can be conﬁgured to require a login and password authentication.

• Webserver/ Cloud Services Authentication

• Mail Server Authentication

• DXM Conﬁguration Authentication

The webserver and mail server authentication depends upon the service provider.

8.2.1 Set the Controller to use Authentication

The DXM700 can be conﬁgured to send login and password credentials for every HTTP packet sent to the webserver. This provides another layer of security for the webserver data.

Setup requires both the webserver and the DXM700 to be given the same credentials for the login and password. The webserver authentication username and password are not stored in the XML conﬁguration ﬁle and must be stored in the DXM700.

From within the DXM

8.2.2 Controller Conﬁguration Authentication

The DXM700 can be programmed to allow changes to the conﬁguration ﬁles only with proper authentication by setting up a password on the Settings > Administration screen in the DXM Conﬁguration Tool.

With the DXM700 connected to the PC, click Get Device Status. The DXM700 status displays next to the button.

Figure 25. Settings > Administration screen

Use the DXM Conﬁguration Tool to:

• Set the Admin Password

• Change the Admin Password

• Remove the Admin Password

To change or remove an admin password, the current password must be supplied. The DXM700 must be connected to the PC to change the administration password.

The DXM700 can be unlocked without knowing the administration password, but doing this erases the conﬁguration program, logging ﬁles, and any ScriptBasic program on the device.

8.3 Register Flow and Conﬁguration

The DXM700 register data

ﬂow goes through the Local Registers, which are data storage elements that reside within the processor. Using the DXM Conﬁguration Tool, the controller can be programmed to move register data from the Local Register pool to remote devices, the internal radio, the I/O base, or the display.

Figure 26. Register ﬂow

8.3.1 Basic Approach to Conﬁguration

When programming an application in the DXM700, ﬁrst plan the overall data structure of the Local Registers. The Local Registers are the main storage elements in the DXM700. Everything goes into or out of the Local Registers.

1. In the DXM Conﬁguration Tool, name the Local Registers to provide the beginning structure of the application.

2. Conﬁgure devices and the Local Registers.

3. Most applications require the ability to manipulate the Local Register data, not just move data around. Use the Action rules to make decisions or transform the data after the data is in the Local Registers. Action rules can apply many different functions to the Local Register data, including conditional statements, math operations, copy operations, or trending.

4. To perform scheduled events in Local Registers, go to the Scheduler screen in the DXM Conﬁguration Tool. These rules provide the ability to create register events by days of the week. The scheduler can also create events based on sunrise or sunset.

the read/write rules to move the data. The Read/Write rules are simple rules that move data between

8.3.2 Troubleshooting a Conﬁguration

The built-in Register View utility is found in the DXM

When a conﬁguration is running on the DXM700, this utility can read or write Local Registers to help understand application operation. The utility can also access data from remote devices, making it easier to troubleshoot a conﬁguration.

Local Registers can also be the controller connected to a PC. On the Local Registers tab, set the read permissions on each register to be display on the LCD.

8.3.3 Saving and Loading Conﬁguration

The DXM Conﬁguration Tool saves its conﬁguration information in a XML ﬁle. Use the File menu to Save or Load conﬁguration ﬁles.

Save the conﬁguration ﬁle before attempting to upload the conﬁguration to the DXM700. The DXM Conﬁguration Tool uploads the conﬁguration ﬁle saved on the PC to the DXM700; it will not send the conﬁguration loaded in the tool.

Files

8.3.4 Uploading or Downloading Conﬁguration Files

The DXM700 requires a XML conﬁguration ﬁle to become operational. To upload or download conﬁguration ﬁles, connect a computer to the DXM700 using the USB port or Ethernet port. Then use the Upload Conﬁguration to Device or Download Conﬁguration from Device under the Device menu.

8.4 Setting Up EtherNet/IP

The DXM700 is EtherNet/IP parameter in the DX80 Gateway from 16 to 32. Use the DX80

This allows the user to maximize the use of the EtherNet/IP buffer to 28 devices. To expand the number of devices further, customize the data collection for EtherNet/IP using the DXM Conﬁguration Tool and only selecting the needed registers. A maximum of 228 registers can be read or written with Ethernet/IP.

Conﬁguration Tool to set this parameter.

8.4.1 Conﬁguring the Host PLC

On the host PLC, install the DXM700 using an EDS ﬁle or by using the following parameters:

• Assembly1: Originator to DXM = Instance 112, 456 bytes (228 words)

• Assembly2: DXM to Originator = Instance 100, 456 bytes (228 words)

The Originator is the host PLC system, and the DXM is the DXM700. The host system sees the DXM700 as a generic device with the product name of Banner DXM (ProdType: 43 - Generic Device, ProdName: Banner DXM).

8.4.2 Conﬁguring the Controller

Use the DXM

• Deﬁne

Data from an EIP controller in assembly instance 112 is data destined for the DXM700 local registers. The ﬁrst two bytes of the assembly instance are stored in the ﬁrst local register deﬁned as an EIP Originator -> DXM register. The next two bytes of the assembly instance are stored in the next local register DXM local registers 5, 12, 13, and 15 are conﬁgured as EIP Originator -> DXM, the ﬁrst eight bytes (four words) of data from the assembly instance are stored into these registers in order (5, 12, 13, and 15). The system ignores the rest of the bytes in the assembly instance.

Data from the DXM700 local registers is sent to the EIP controller using assembly instance 100. Each local register in the DXM700 deﬁned as EIP DXM -> Originator is collected in numerical order and placed into the data buffer destined for assembly instance 100. DXM local registers are capable of 32-bits, but only the lower 2-bytes for each local register are transferred. For example, if DXM registers 1, 10, 20, and 21 are deﬁned as EIP DXM -> Originator registers, the assembly instance 100 will have the data is in assembly instance 100 is zero.

The following screen shot shows the DXM Conﬁguration Tool deﬁning register 1 as an EIP Originator -> DXM (target) register. The EIP PLC will write data into register 1. For local registers to be sent to the EIP controller, deﬁne registers as EIP DXM -> Originator.

Regardless of the communications connection (Ethernet or cellular), a failed attempt results in the register data packet being saved on the local micro SD card

When there is bad cellular signal strength or there is no Ethernet connection, the transmission attempts are not counted as failed attempts to send data.

. The number of retries will depend upon the network connection type.

8.6.1 Ethernet Push Retries

With an Ethernet-based network connection, the DXM700 retries a message ﬁve times. The ﬁve retry attempts immediately follow each other. After all attempts are exhausted, the register data packet is saved on the micro SD card.

At the next scheduled time, the DXM700 attempts to send the saved packet as well as the newly created register data packet. If it cannot send the new register data packet, the new register data packet is appended to the saved micro SD card to be sent later. After 10 rounds of retries, the data set is archived on the micro SD card under folder _sxi. No additional attempts to resend the data are made; the data ﬁle must be manually retrieved.

Using SSL on Ethernet will have no retries, but will save each failed attempt to the micro SD card until 10 failed rounds. At this time, the register data packet is archived.

ﬁle on the

8.6.2 Cellular Push Retries

In a cellular-connected system there are no retries. Failed transmissions are saved on the micro SD card.

After 10 successive failed attempts, the data is archived in the _sxi folder. Send attempts with a low signal quality are not counted against the 10 count limit. For example, if the cellular antenna is disconnected for period that the DXM controller would have sent 20 messages under normal circumstances, all 20 messages would be saved and will be retried when the antenna is reconnected. If the signal quality was good, but the cellular network was not responding, the DXM700 archives the register data packets after 10 failed attempts.

8.6.3 Event/Action Rule or Log File Push Retries

Event-based pushes caused by Action rules and locally stored log ﬁles sent using email follow the same process when failures occur, based on the network connection. The failed Event-based messages are resent with the next cyclical schedule or the next event message that triggers a push message.

Enable HTTP logging to save data on the SD card; this is the factory default. See SETTINGS -> LOGGING in the DXM Conﬁguration Tool.

10.1.1 EEPROM Files

The serial EEPROM stores basic data that is required to be non-volatile, including network conﬁguration data, IP address, MAC address, network masks, ﬁrewall settings, and authentication information. The controller XML conﬁguration ﬁle created by the DXM Conﬁguration Tool is stored in EEPROM. The small section of non-volatile local registers is also stored in EEPROM.

10.1.2 Micro SD Card Files

The micro SD card contains most ﬁles at the root level. The archive directory contains ﬁles kept by the system for history backup. Archive ﬁles are stored in the directory _sxi and are only accessible by removing the SD card.

Archive Directory

Only two types of ﬁles are moved into the archive directory: data log ﬁles and HTTP log ﬁles. Data log ﬁles are date/ time stamped and placed into the archive directory when the size limit is reached. HTTP log ﬁles are date/time stamped then placed into the archive directory when they are successfully sent to the webserver or host system. If the HTTP log directory called sav.

Data Log ﬁles

Users may create up to four data log ﬁles using the DXM Conﬁguration Tool. The log ﬁles are stored in the root directory on the SD card. When the ﬁle size limit is reached, the ﬁlename is changed to include the date and time and the ﬁle is moved into the archive directory _sxi. If a ﬁnished log ﬁle is to be e-mailed, it will be done at this time and then moved into the archive directory. Archived log ﬁles are deleted based on the Clear Logs parameter.

HTTP Push File

If the DXM700 is the SD card. The HTTP log is created only if the Logging Interval is non-zero and the HTTP enable log is set. An entry is placed in the HTTP log ﬁle at the Logging Interval speciﬁed by the user. At the Push Interval time, the HTTP log ﬁle is sent to the webserver or host system. If the transmission is successful, the HTTP log ﬁle is time stamped and placed into the archive directory (_sxi). If the transmission fails, the ﬁle remains in the root directory and subsequent Logging Intervals are appended to the ﬁle and are sent at the next Push Interval. For more information on the communications retry mechanism, refer to the technicel note on system retries. (
