DXM1200-X2 Controller
Connections include:
Connectivity —The DXM Controller's wired and wireless connectivity options
make it easy to share data between local and remote equipment. The cellular
modem option eliminates the need for IT infrastructures to connect remote
equipment for sensing and control to IIoT cloud services. The integrated Sure
Cross® wireless radio enables Modbus connectivity to remote sensors,
indicators, and control equipment. Connect directly to any PLC and/or SCADA
system for easy integration into existing control or monitoring systems.
Banner Industrial Wireless radios have two types of networks that can be
used for creating applications and solving problems.
Wired Connectivity
Ethernet: Modbus/TCP (client/server) or Ethernet/IP
Field Bus: Modbus RS-485 Client
Wireless Connectivity
Sure Cross Wireless Radio: DX80 900 MHz, DX80 2.4 GHz,
MultiHop 900 MHz, or MultiHop 2.4 GHz
Cellular modem: LTE-M (United States) or LTE-M/NB-IoT
(outside the United States)
Wireless Radio Networks
Performance Wireless Radio Network
Star topology (point-to-point between Gateway and Node
radios)
Battery-powered Node applications are more efficient in a star
topology
Six inputs and six outputs maximum per radio
MultiHop Wireless Radio Network
Tree topology between one client radio and many repeater
and/or server radios
Repeater radios add effectively unlimited radio network range
Full Modbus sensor register data collection as well as typical
local I/O like discrete, analog, etc.
Logic Controller —Program the DXM Controller'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. The logic
controller supports the Modbus protocol standards for data management, ensuring seamless integration with existing
automation systems. File and LCD password protection is an option.
Register Mapping
Cyclical Read rules from wireless devices or local wired
Modbus devices that include optional scaling, error conditions,
and the ability to activate a read rule
Cyclical or change of state write rules to wireless devices or
local wired Modbus devices with scaling
Modbus TCP Client read or write rules for external devices on
the network
Action Rules
Thresholds (IF/THEN/ELSE) with timers, minimum on/off time,
and logging options
Math/Logic Rules (arithmetic and bitwise operators)
Control Logic (logical operators and SR/T/D/JK flip flops)
Trending (multiple averaging filters)
Tracking (counts, on/off times)
Push data on conditions
Scheduler
Time/calendar-based events
Holiday skips
One-time events
Dynamic scheduler updating
Astronomical clock
Optional Text Programming Language
ScriptBasic to create variables, arrays, functions, loops, IF/
THEN/ELSE, logical and arithmetic operators, API commands,
register access, string functions and operators, time
commands
Data Logging
Cyclic data/event logging
User Interface — A simple user interface consists of an LCD screen and four LED indicators.
