SureCross™ DX80 Web Configurator
Instruction Manual
RF Devices Tab
Remote I/O
The
Remote I/O
configuration page defines up to 32 external communication registers when the
DX80 Gateway is defined as a Modbus RTU Master. This table is used only when the Gateway is a
Modbus RTU master and it is communicating with Modbus slave devices, typically DX85 Expanded
Remote I/O devices.
After power-up, the DX80 Gateway is a slave device (to the Ethernet Bridge) for the time defined
in the Master Timeout field, defined in seconds with a 90 second minimum. During this time, the
operating mode can be changed using the browser interface. To change the mode:
Click one of the radio buttons to select how the DX80 Gateway functions.
Select Modbus/TCP Client/Server mode (default) when you are connecting a DX80
to an external PLC or similar equipment.
Select Modbus RTU Master mode if the DX80 Gateway is to be a Modbus master
device communicating to other slave devices using a Modbus RS485 serial
connection. The Gateway enters master mode after the Master Timeout period has
elapsed.
Select Modbus RTU Slave if the DX80 Gateway Pro or a Ethernet Bridge and
Gateway pair is operating as a slave on a Modbus serial connection.
2. Set the Master Timeout field, then click the Change Mode button. When the timeout
expires, the DX80 Gateway begins to operate as selected. The Master Timeout
determines how long the DX80 Gateway waits before changing modes.
3. After making changes, click on the Change button to send the changes to the DX83
Ethernet Bridge or the Gateway Pro and then click on the Send button to send these
changes to the device.
To save the changes to the XML file, go to the
System > Setup > Config File
page and click the
Save button. Changes made by clicking the Change button are temporary until the changes are
saved permanently in the configuration file.
Other Commands
Change button: Submits changes to the Ethernet Bridge or Gateway Pro.
Get button: Reads all device and I/O parameters from the DX80 device and loads them into the
Web Configurator screens. This does NOT save the parameters to the XML file.
Refresh button: Displays the most current device information.
Reset button: Resets any error conditions displayed. Until the error message is reset, the device will
not start any additional operations.
