Troubleshooting a Configuration

View Local Registers using the Local Registers ›

Local Registers in Use

screen of the configuration software.

When a configuration is running on the

DXMR90-X1, viewing the Local Registers can help you to understand the

application's operation. This utility can also access data from remote devices and the LED registers.

Saving and Loading Configuration Files

The

DXM Configuration Software

saves its configuration information in a XML file. Use the

File

menu to Save or Load config-

uration files.

Save the configuration file before attempting to upload the configuration to the

DXMR90-X1

. The DXM Configuration Soft-

ware

uploads the configuration file saved on the PC to the

DXMR90-X1

; it will not send the configuration loaded in the tool.

Uploading or Downloading Configuration Files

The

DXMR90-X1

requires a XML configuration file to become operational. To upload or download configuration files, connect

a computer to the

DXMR90-X1

using the Ethernet port. Then use the

Upload Configuration to Device

or Download Configura-

tion from Device

under the

Device

menu.

EtherNet/IP™ Configuration

The

DXMR90-X1

can be configured to send/receive local register data to and from an EtherNet/IP™

(1)

host. EDS (Electronic

Data Sheet) files allow users of the EtherNet/IP protocol to easily add a Banner DXM device to the PLC. Download the EDS
files from the Banner website.

Configuring the Host PLC

On the host PLC, install the

DXMR90-X1

using an EDS file or by using the following parameters:

Assembly1: Originator to DXM = Instance 112, 456 bytes (228 words)
Assembly2: DXM to Originator = Instance 100, 456 bytes (228 words)

The Originator is the host PLC system, and the DXM is the

DXMR90-X1

. The host system sees the

DXMR90-X1

as a generic

device with the product name of

Banner DXM

(ProdType: 43 - Generic Device, ProdName: Banner DXM, Integer Type -

INT).

IMPORTANT:

Do not set the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) any faster than 150 ms.

Configure the read/write rules to move the data. The Read/Write rules are simple rules that move data between de-
vices (Nodes, Modbus servers, sensors, etc) and the Local Registers.

Most applications require the ability to manipulate the Local Register data, not just move data around. Use the

Action

rules

to make decisions or transform the data after the data is in the Local Registers. Action rules can apply many dif-

ferent functions to the Local Register data, including conditional statements, math operations, copy operations, or

trending.

To perform scheduled events in Local Registers, go to the

Scheduler

screen in the

DXM Configuration Software.

These rules provide the ability to create register events by days of the week. The scheduler can also create events

based on sunrise or sunset.
