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, Ethernet/IP, or Profinet
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) or GSM
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. File and LCD password protection is an option.
