3 Controller Details
3.1 DXM Controller Overview
The DXM controller is optimized for solar/battery power. A full-featured application configuration on the controller will operate
over 20 days of autonomy with a 5.5 AHr LiFePO4 battery.
Use the DXM Configuration Software, DXM Instruction Manuals, technical notes, and videos at
to configure/program the DXM for your application.
Banner's DXM Logic Controller integrates cellular connectivity and local I/O to provide a platform for the Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT).

Slave
Wireless Connectivity
Cellular modem: 4G LTE CATM1 (Verizon or AT&T)
Logic Controller
—Program the DXM's logic controller using action rules and/or ScriptBasic language, which can execute
concurrently. The control functions allow freedom when creating custom sensing and control sequences.
Action Rules
Supports simple logic,
counters, arithmetic,
averaging/trending, and
thresholding

Data Sampling
Adjust cloud push intervals and
sampling intervals between pushes
User Programmable LCD
—A simple user interface consists of an LCD screen and four LED indicators. Use the LCD to
access the system's status and configuration, view user selectable events and data, and configure inputs and outputs.
3.1.1 DXM100-Ax Features
The
DXM100-A1
and
DXM100-A2
Controllers are programmable logic controllers with multiple I/O connectivity options or a
local ISM radio network and are optimized to be powered by a solar/battery system. Collected data is sent to the cloud
through the cellular modem.
