ISM Radio
DX80/MultiHop ID —The ISM radio is set at the factory to be Modbus device address 1 (Modbus ID 1). For some applications,
you may need to change the Modbus ID. Adjust the Modbus device address using the LCD menu system. Any other method
may cause issues with the DXM Controller not knowing which Modbus device address is assigned to the radio, which causes
issues with running Binding or Site Survey from the LCD menu.
Set the radio Modbus ID to a valid number (1 through 247) that is not being used by the DXM system. Processor Local
Registers allocate ID 199, the I/O board is set to ID 200, and the display board is set to ID 201. With a DX80 Gateway (star
network), it's easy to choose a new ID. With a MultiHop network, remember that the client MultiHop radio allocates a range of
Modbus IDs for wireless devices, typically 11 through 110.
When setting the new ISM Modbus ID, the system changes the Modbus ID on the internal radio and changes the reference to
it on the DXM Controller. The reference Modbus ID is what the DXM Controller uses to access the internal radio when
running Binding or Site Survey.
Auto Detect Radio —If the internal Modbus ID of the radio was changed or the internal radio was changed, but not recorded,
use Auto Detect Radio to determine the radio ID and radio type. The auto-detect routine broadcasts discovery messages and
waits for a response. If other devices are connected to the external RS-485 ports, they may need to be disconnected for this
process to work properly.
Advanced Options —The Advanced Options menu is typically not used unless the Modbus ID is changed without the DXM
Controller being involved, such as when you write directly to the radio Modbus registers.
Reference Type selects the radio type between DX80 star architecture radios and a MultiHop radio. The DXM
Controller uses this reference to determine how to communicate to the internal radio. If set incorrectly, the DXM
Controller may not be able to run Site Survey from the LCD menu. Unless you are changing or adding the internal
radio device, there should no reason to change the radio type.
Reference Modbus ID defines the Modbus ID the DXM Controller uses when communicating with the internal radio. If
this is set incorrectly, the DXM Controller will not be able to run Binding or Site Survey through the LCD menu.
Max Node Count —Defines the maximum number of devices for the DX80 wireless network.
Binding # —This parameter allows the user to define the Binding code within the ISM radio. Typically, you will not have to
adjust this number unless you are replacing an existing Gateway or client radio.
