1.1 System Overview for the DXM150-B1
Banner's DXM Logic Controller integrates Banner's wireless radio, cellular connectivity, and local I/O to provide a platform for
the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Various combinations of I/O and connectivity are available based on the different
models.

Connectivity
—The DXM'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. The integrated Sure Cross
®
wireless radio enables Modbus connectivity to remote sensors, indicators, and
control equipment.
Wired Connectivity
Ethernet: Modbus/TCP or Ethernet/IP
Field Bus: Modbus RS-485 Master/Slave
Wireless Connectivity
Sure Cross Wireless Radio: DX80 900 MHz, DX80 2.4 GHz,
MultiHop 900 MHz, or MultiHop 2.4 GHz
Cellular modem: CDMA (Verizon), GSM 3G, LTE (Verizon)
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. The logic controller
supports the Modbus protocol standards for data management, ensuring seamless integration with existing automation
systems.
Action Rules
Supports simple logic, arithmetic and thresholding
Use for low complexity solutions
SMS text message Notifications
E-mail Notifications
Push data on conditions
Text Programming Language
ScriptBasic
Use when Action Rules cannot supply a solution
Scheduler
Time/calendar-based events
Astronomical clock
Data Logging
Cyclic Data/Event logging
E-mail log files
SMS Commanding
Read/Write Local Registers
Upload data to the cloud-based data service
Reboot controller
User Interface
—A simple user interface consists of an LCD screen and four LED indicators. Use the LCD to access system
status and setup, view user selectable events or data, and to bind and perform site surveys for Sure Cross radios. Configure
the user programmable LEDs to indicate the status of the DXM, processes, or equipment.
