The Node enters binding mode. The Node's LCD displays NETWRK BINDNG. When the Node is bound, the LEDs are both solid red
for a few seconds. The Node cycles its power, then enters RUN mode.
15. Use both of the Node’s rotary dials to assign a decimal Node address between 01 and 47.
The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (0–4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0–9) of the device address.
16. Repeat steps 7 through 15 for each additional Node that needs to communicate to that Gateway.
17. On the Gateway: single click button 1 or button 2.
When button 1 or 2 is pressed, the Gateway exits binding mode and reboots. The Gateway's LCD displays POWER, then *RUN.
For devices with batteries integrated into the housing, remove the battery for one minute to cycle power to the device. After making any
changes to DIP switch settings, you must cycle power to the device or the DIP switch changes will not be recognized.
Setting the Maximum System Nodes
Selecting the maximum number of system radio devices (Gateway and all Nodes) changes the timing for the wireless network. For exam-
ple, if you are running four Nodes in your wireless network, set the system's maximum device count to 8. This allows up to 8 radio
devices, including the Gateway, in the wireless network and offers the highest throughput, 62.5 milliseconds, for each Node. The choices
are 8, 16, 32, and 48 devices.
To set the maximum number of Nodes in your syste, use the MAXN submenu, located under the *DVCFG (Device Configuration) menu.
Storage Mode and Sleep Mode
While in storage mode, the radio does not operate. All SureCross
®
radios powered from an integrated battery ship from the factory in
storage mode to conserve the battery. To wake the device, press and hold button 1 for five seconds. To put any FlexPower
®
or integra-
ted battery SureCross radio into storage mode, press and hold button 1 for five seconds. The radio is in storage mode when the LEDs
stop blinking, but in some models, the LCD remains on for an additional minute after the radio enters storage mode. After a device has
entered storage mode, you must wait one minute before waking it.
During normal operation, the SureCross radio devices enter sleep mode after 15 minutes of operation. The radio continues to function,
but the LCD goes blank. To wake the device, press any button.
Modbus Communication Parameters
To access the Modbus device, you may first need to configure system-level communication parameters on the DX80 Gateway, in addi-
tion to the serial hookups shown below. The following procedure is necessary to change the Gateway Slave ID, Baud Rate, and Parity.
Setting up the Network and Device IDs, powering up the devices, and conducting the Site Survey for a host-connected network is the
same as for the non-host DX80 wireless system. All device I/O for the network is accessed using the host/master device.
Parameter
Default Value
Description
Slave ID
1
Defines the slave number (01-99) for the serial Modbus RTU protocol. When operating more
than one network with a Modbus Master device, change the Slave IDs.
Baud Rate
19200
Defines communication data rate (19.2, 38.4 or 9.6 kbps) between the Gateway and the Host
through the serial interface.
Parity
None
Defines serial parity (none, even, or odd) between Gateway and Host.
Setting the Slave ID on a DX80 Gateway
By default, all Gateways are set to Modbus Slave ID 1.
