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

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

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

life calculation for your specific application.

•

outside.

Avoid Collecting Rain

When possible, mount the DX80 where rain or snow will drain away from the unit.

Mount the units vertically so that

•

precipitation, dust, and dirt do not accumulate on permeable surfaces.

Avoid mounting the units on flat or

•

concave surfaces, especially if the display will be pointing up.

> Installation

Ideal Mounting Conditions

Reduce Chemical Exposure

Before installing the DX80 units in a chemically harsh environment, contact Banner for more information regarding the life-expectancy. Solvents, oxidizing agents, and other chemicals will damage the DX80.

Minimize Mechanical Stress

While the DX80 is very durable, it is a sophisticated electronic device that is sensitive to shock and excessive loading.

Avoid mounting the units to an object

•

that may be shifting or vibrating excessively. High levels of static force or acceleration may damage the housing or electronic components.

Do not subject the DX80 to external

•

loads. Do not step on the DX80 or use it as a handgrip.

Do not allow long lengths of cable to

•

hang from the DX80 glands. Cabling heavier than 100 grams should be supported instead of allowed to hang from the DX80 housing.

Installation - Weather-Proofing Glands and Plugs

Watertight Glands and Plugs

Rotary Switch Access Cover

Check the rotary switch access cover o-ring every time the access cover is removed. Replace the o-ring when it is damaged, discolored, or showing signs of wear. The o-ring should be:

Seated firmly against the threads

•

without stretching to fit or without bulging loosely, and

Pushed against the flanged cover.

•

When removing or closing the rotary switch access cover, manually twist the cover into position. Do not allow cross-threading between the cover and the DX80 face.

Watertight 1/2” NPT Plug

Seal the 1/2” NPT port if it is not used. To install a watertight NPT plug:

Wrap 12 to 16 passes of PTFE

tape evenly across the length of the threads.

Manually thread the plug into the

housing port until reaching some resistance.

Using a 9/16” crescent wrench, turn

the plug until all the plug’s threads are engaged by the housing port.

If the DX80 is mounted outdoors or will be exposed to moisture, dirt, or dust, follow these steps to weatherproof the units.

Watertight Glands

To make the glands watertight:

Wrap four to eight passes of

polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape around the threads as close as possible to the hexagonal body of the gland.

Manually thread the gland into the

housing hole. Never apply more than 10 in-lbf of torque to the gland or its cable clamp nut.

Note, these instructions apply both to the PG-7 glands and the 1/2” NPT gland.

Watertight PG-7 Plug

Seal any unused PG-7 (small) access holes with one of the supplied black plastic plugs. To install a watertight PG7 plug:

Wrap four to eight passes of PTFE

tape around the plug’s threads, as close as possible to the flanged surface.

Carefully thread the plastic plug

into the vacant hole in the DX80 housing and tighten using a slotting screwdriver. Never apply more than 10 in-lbf torque to the plastic plug.

Once the cover is in place and manually tightened, use a small screwdriver (no longer than five inches total length) as a lever to apply enough torque to bring the rotary switch access cover even with the DX80 cover surface.

Host Network - Gateway

Setting up the Network and Device IDs, powering up the devices, and conducting the Site Survey for a host-connected network is the same as for the standard DX80 wireless system. All device I/O for the network is accessed using the host/master device.

To access the Modbus device, you may first need to configure system-level communication parameters on the DX80 Gateway, in addition to the serial hookups shown below. The following procedure is necessary to change the Gateway Slave ID, Baud Rate, and Parity.

Parameter Description

Slave ID (Default = 1)

Baud Rate (Default = 19200)

Parity (Default = None) Defines serial parity (none, even, or odd) between Gateway and Host.

Defines the slave number (01-99) for the serial Modbus RTU protocol. When operating more than one network with a Modbus Master device, change the Slave IDs.

Defines communication data rate (19.2, 38.4 or 9.6 kbps) between the Gateway and the Host through the serial interface.

SureCross™ DX80 Quick Start Guide

Troubleshooting

RF Link Time-Out and Recovery

The SureCross™ DX80 wireless devices employ a deterministic link time-out method to address RF link interruption or failure. As soon as a specific Node/Gateway RF link fails, all pertinent wired outputs are de-energized until the link is recovered (see component data sheet for more information.) Through this process, users of Banner wireless networks can be assured that disruptions in the communications link will result in predictable system behavior.

The link time-out feature uses a fully-acknowledged polling method to determine the RF link status of each Node on the network. If after a specified number of sequential polling cycles the Node does not acknowledge a message, the Gateway considers the link with the Node timed out. LCD displays on both the Node and Gateway show *ERROR. Following a time-out, the Node de-energizes outputs and the Gateway sets all outputs linked to the Node in question to a de-energized state. Inputs from the Nodes are mapped to outputs on the Gateway and are suspended during a link timeout.

Once a link has failed, the Gateway must receive a specified number of good RF communications packets from the Node in question before the link is reinstated. Outputs are restored to current values when the link is recovered.

For information regarding Host-connected systems and link time-out and recover, please refer to Banner’s DX80 and Modbus Guide.

SureCross™ DX80 Quick Start Guide

Troubleshooting (con’t)

A wireless network can be hindered by radio interference and by obstructions in the path of the receiver and transmitter. To achieve the best radio performance possible, carefully consider the installation locations for Gateways and Nodes. The need for a clear path increases as the transmission distance increases. Use Site Survey (RSSI) to confirm signal quality before fixing devices for permanent installation.

Problem Description

No LEDs, No LCD display

Node flashes the red LED (no sync)

Marginal Site Survey (RSSI) results

No communications with the DX80 Gateway using RS485

DX80 Display shows *ERROR

Possible Solutions

Basic power–up issues

DX80 devices should immediately display ‘POWER’ on the LCD for the first 5-10 seconds after power is applied.

•

For the Gateway, LED 1 will always be green when power is connected. The Node devices will flash a red LED 2 every three seconds or a green LED 1 every second depending upon the RF Link status.

Battery powered devices can be put into a power-down mode using button 1 on the front panel. To put a battery

•

device into power-down mode, hold button 1 for three to five seconds. To make a battery device come out of power-down mode, hold button 1 for three to five seconds.

Recheck the power connections and power requirements. Line powered devices require 10 to 30V dc. The DX81

•

Battery Module provides 3.6V dc. After replacing the battery, allow up to 60 seconds for the device to power up.

•

DX80 devices will not synchronize

There are two things that MUST be set on every Node device to make it synchronize with the Gateway device:

•

1) The Network ID on the Node must match the Gateway Network ID. (0-15)

2) Each node within that network must have the Device ID rotary switch set to a unique number (1-15). Refer to “Getting Started – Multiple Networks, Setting Network ID”

If the Gateway and Node are less than two meters apart, the devices may not communicate properly (radios may

•

saturate). The Gateway and Node may be too far apart to achieve sync – consult factory for options.

•

A qualified antenna should be mounted on both the Gateway and Node devices.

•

After any system parameter changes, cycle power to cause the devices to resync with the network.

•

If a Node device loses synchronization with the network, it is programmed to try to acquire sync for five seconds,

•

then sleep for 15 seconds. Synchronizing may require up to 20 seconds. Recycle power on the Gateway and Node devices.

•

Site survey (RSSI) returns > 30 MISSED packets

If the distance between devices is greater than about 5,000 meters (3 miles) line-of-sight *OR* objects, such as trees or man-made obstructions, interfere with the path, and the MISSED packet count exceeds 30 per 100 packets, consider the following steps:

Raise the DX80 units to a higher elevation – either by physically moving the devices or installing the antenna(s)

•

remotely at a higher position. Use high-gain antenna(s) such as Yagi and/or Omni (see Accessories).

•

Decrease the distance between devices.

•

DX80 Gateway will not talk with the host system

Default communications parameters for the RS485 are: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and 19.2k baud.

•

The DX80 Gateway uses Modbus RTU protocol for all communications. The supported Modbus function codes are 3, 6, and 16.

Make sure the DX80 model supports RS485 serial communications.

•

Make sure the Slave ID is set properly for the bus environment. Factory default Slave ID = 1.

•

Factory default for the Modbus timeout is set to four seconds.

•

RS485 termination or biasing is not supplied on the DX80 Gateway and should be provided externally to the DX80.

•

(Termination is not required by the DX80 Gateway, proper biasing of the serial lines is required.)

RF link time-out and recovery

The Gateway utilizes fully-acknowledged polling to ensure each Node RF link is robust. Consequently, if after

•

a prescribed number of sequential polling cycles are not acknowledged by a Node, the Gateway considers the particular link with that Node to be timed out. All outputs on the Node in question will be set to “OFF” (discrete) or “0” (analog, regardless of type).

If the Node’s RF link is recovered and the Gateway can determine that enough acknowledged polling messages

•

have been accumulated, then the link is reinstated and outputs are restored to the current values.

Possible Solutions

I/O functionality

Use manual scrolling mode within *RUN to freeze the I/O status on the LCD display for the device in question.

•

Verify that when the input device changes state or changes value, the LCD mirrors the behavior. Also verify that the LCD on the output side mirrors the linked input’s behavior. If the input device state, LCD

•

on origination DX80, and LCD on destination DX80 all behave exactly the same, there may be a wiring issue or an interfacing problem. Consult factory.
