Save and Upload the Configuration File
After making any changes to the configuration, you must save the configuration files to your computer, then upload it to the
device.
Changes to the XML file are not automatically saved. Save your configuration file before exiting the tool and before sending
the XML file to the device to avoid losing data. If you select
DXM
>
Send XML Configuration to DXM
before saving the
configuration file, the software will prompt you to choose between saving the file or continuing without saving the file.
1. Save the XML configuration file to your hard drive by going to the
File
>
Save As
menu.
2. Go to the
DXM
>
Send XML Configuration to DXM
menu.

If the Application Status indicator is red, close and restart the DXM Configuration Tool, unplug and re-plug in the
cable and reconnect the DXM to the software.
•
If the Application Status indicator is green, the file upload is complete.
•
If the Application Status indicator is yellow, the file transfer is in progress.
The device reboots and begins running the new configuration.
8.5.3 Configuring the Host PLC
On the host PLC, install the DXM 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 DXM. The host system sees the DXM 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.
8.6 Setting up Email and Text Messaging
The DXM can be configured to send email or SMS messages based on threshold conditions.
Important:
Only the DXM100 and DXM150 models offer SMS/text messaging capabilities.
Cellular-connected systems can use email or SMS. Ethernet-connected systems can only use email, but can send email to
cellular phones as a SMS message depending upon the network carrier. To send email to a Verizon phone, use the phone
number followed by
@vtext.com
, for example, [email protected].
For more information, refer to the DXM Configuration Software Instruction Manual (p/n
). Internal log files may be sent
using email. Follow these instructions and use the DXM Configuration Software to program the controller for email and/or
SMS.
1. On the
Settings
>
System
screen, set the
Device Time
on the DXM.
2. On the
Settings
>
Cloud Services
screen, select either Ethernet or Cell for the
Push Interface
.
3. If you selected Ethernet, configure your Ethernet connection by setting the IP settings on the
Ethernet
screen. If you
selected a
Push interface
of Cell, use the
Cellular
screen to define parameters.
4. Set the email and message parameters on the
Notifications
screen.
5. To send alert messages, define the threshold rule to use email and/or SMS.
6. To send log files, define the log file parameters.
8.6.1 Define the Network Interface Settings
On the
Cloud Services
screen (shown with
Show advanced settings
selected), define the network connection settings by
selecting Ethernet or Cell from the
Network Interface
drop-down list. This determines how the DXM sends data.
If you don't require pushing data to a web server, set the
Cloud Push
interval to zero.
