1.4 DXM Configuration Tool Overview
The main storage elements for the DXM Controller are its Local
Registers, which can store up to 4-byte values that result from
register mapping, action rules, or ScriptBasic commands.
The Register Mapping function has two main components: a read
rule and a write rule. These rules allow the user to program the ability
to read or write information from Modbus slaves to/from the local
registers.
The Action Rules allow for logic functions and manipulation of local
register data. Action rules are processed autonomously from other
local register functions. There are three types of action rules:
thresholds, register copy, and math/logic.
Use the Scheduler to program when values are sent to a local
register during a specific time, day, or week. Events can be
programmed by days of the week with the ability to create holidays
for exception conditions.
Use the Register View Utility to read or write local registers within
the DXM Controller or Modbus Slave devices connected to the DXM
Controller. This allows the user to debug connections to external
devices by viewing live local register data within the controller.
The System Settings define parameters for the DXM Controller,
including email notifications, Cloud settings, time of day settings, local
logging settings, SMS messaging, ScriptBasic programming control,
and Ethernet network settings.

The DXM Configuration Tool configures the DXM Controller by creating an XML file that is transferred to the DXM Controller
using a USB or Ethernet connection. The DXM Controller 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 DXM Controller 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 DXM Controller using a USB cable or an Ethernet connection. Each tool can be run
individually or launched through the DXM Configuration Tool.
