SureCross™ DX80 Quick Start Guide

A setup guide for the SureCross™ DX80 wireless systems

Introducing the SureCross™ DX80 Wireless System

The SureCross™ DX80 wireless system provides reliable monitoring without the burden
of wiring or conduit installation, and can operate independently or in conjunction with a
PLC and/or PC software.

The SureCross DX80 network is a deterministic system—the network identifies when
the radio signal is lost and drives relevant outputs to user-defined conditions. Once the
radio signal is reacquired, the network returns to normal operation.

Each wireless system consists of one Gateway and one or more Nodes that ship with
factory predefined inputs and outputs. Devices may be all discrete I/O, mixed discrete
and analog I/O, and FlexPower™.

A Gateway device acts as the master device within each radio network system. The
Gateway initiates communication and reporting with the Nodes.

A radio network contains only one Gateway, but can contain many Nodes. Each Node
device can be connected to a sensor or output device and reports I/O status to the
Gateway.

A Gateway and Node can be arranged to extend the range of the network or to avoid
obstacles in the transmission path. The Gateway receives a transmission from one
Node and forwards it to another Node positioned to avoid the obstacle.

WARNING…

Never use these products for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.

These products do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications.
A failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized product output condition. Consult your current Banner Safety
Products catalog for safety products that meet OSHA, ANSI, and IEC standards for personnel protection.

Not to be used for personnel protection

Host-connected systems can contain up to 15 nodes within a single network and may
be all discrete or a mix of discrete and analog I/O. Host-connected systems allow for
logic and calculations to be applied to the I/O. Inputs from Nodes within the network
are transmitted to the Gateway, which communicates the information to a host device
for processing. While the Gateway is the master device within the radio network, the
Gateway is a slave to the Modbus network.

FlexPower devices allow for a true wireless solution as the Node can be powered
by line power (10 to 30V dc) or battery power (3.6 to 5.5V dc). A SureCross DX81
battery pack and unique power management system runs the Node and a device for

6

up to five years, depending upon the power requirements of the device. Battery life is

7

application specific. Contact Banner Engineering’s application engineers for a battery

7

life calculation for your specific application.

Quick Start: STEP 1

The wireless RF network is defined by the Network ID (NID)
assigned to the Gateway and its Nodes. Each device within
this common network must have a unique Device Address
assigned.

For factory configured kits, the Network ID and Device
Addresses have been assigned. Otherwise, use the Rotary
Switches (shown right) to define both the NID and Device
Address for each device. Follow the steps below to set up
your DX80 network.

User Action

Remove rotary switch access covers.

On the Gateway, set the Left Rotary Switch to 1.

SET NETWORK ID

On all Nodes (within the same network), set the Left
Rotary Switch to 1.

On the Gateway, set the Right Rotary Switch to 0.

On the first Node (Device Address = 1), set the Right
Rotary Switch to 1.

On the second Node (Device Address = 2), set the Right
Rotary Switch to 2.

SET DEVICE ADDRESS

Continue setting the Device Address for each additional
Node using a unique number (..3,4,5).

> Set Network ID & Device/Node Address

Network ID (NID) Device Address

Rotary Switches on
Gateway and Node

Display/Status

Turn counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to
tighten

The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1. Set
to another Network ID when operating more than one
network in the same area.

Assign the same NID to all devices within a single
network (hexidecimal 0-F).

A Device Address of 0 on the Gateway will display
settings for the Gateway itself. To view settings for
another device on the network, adjust the Right Rotary
Switch on the Gateway to the respective Device
Address.

Do not change the Device ID for preconfigured kits as
this would affect the factory mapping of the I/O.

Notes

Install rotary switch access covers. Please refer to the
installation section for IP67 instructions.

Multiple Networks

When more than one network is
operating in the same space, assign
a unique Network ID (NID) to each
network (shown right).
