Home Screen - Banner MultiHop Series Quick Start Manual

Home Screen

The Home screen displays four "check engine" type icons that represent groups of 10 sensors/motors for a total
of 40 motors. Each icon is a color-coded indication of the status of vibration/temperature Warnings (yellow) or
Alarms (red), or wireless connection status No Alerts (green) or Node of Out of Sync (orange) within that group.
Touch the icon to bring up the 10 individual icons that represent each sensors' status. Touch the sensor status
icons to view detailed data and alarm information for each sensor.
Touch the "X" button in the upper right hand corner of each icon to hide that group of sensors if they are not in
use to prevent the connection status alerts for any sensors within that group from displaying. Use the button that
appears after pressing the "X" button to unhide that group for future expansion. NOTE: In the MultiHop version,
all but motor #1 start as hidden for program efficiency, only unhide sensors that have been added and are in the
network.
The Settings button opens access to Radio binding, Radio site survey, Asset baselining, Log file downloads,
and other settings.
Touch each asset group label to re-label the icon.
Assigning Sensor Modbus IDs
To begin configuring the sensors, each sensor must have a Modbus Sensor ID assigned to it. Sensor Modbus
IDs must be between 11-50. Each sensor ID corresponds to an individual sensor icon on the HMI, with ID 11 as
Motor #1 and ID 50 as Motor #40. Sensor IDs don't have to be assigned in order and sensor IDs can be skipped
if the goal is to have smaller groups of sensors between the other four main icons on the home page.
To assign sensor IDs, use either the menu system or the configuration software.
To use the radio's menu system, follow these steps. For VT1 sensors, use your M-H10 radio and for VT2
sensors, use one of many radio options, such as M-H, M-H2, etc.
1. Apply power to the radio and connect one sensor at a time.
2. Push button 1 (left) until *DVCFG appears then push button 2 (right).
3. Push button 1 until -S ADR appears and push button 2.
4. Push button 1 and wait for the radio to read the current sensor ID.
A three-digit value appears with the current sensor ID with a blinking cursor.
5. Use the left button to cycle the value from 0-9 and the right button to accept the value and move the
cursor to the next digit right. Assign a new sensor ID value to 11 through 50; do not repeat any
previously used ID values.
6. Push and hold button 2 when done. The screen says SAVING.
7. To repeat for more sensors, unplug the sensor and plug in the next sensor and repeat steps 3 through 6
with a new device ID.
8. After you have finished, double-click button 2 to return to the main menu.
9. Connect all sensors to be attached to that radio.
To assign the IDs using the configuration software, use the
either the BWA-USB1WIRE-001 cable accessory for the VT1 sensor or the BWA-UCT-900 cable accessory for
the VT2 sensor to connect the sensor to the tool.
Follow the instructions in the
to a value between 11 through 50.
Site Survey and Binding Screen
Banner Wireless radios, such as the battery-powered H10 radio paired with VT1 Vibration and Temperature
Sensors or any Banner MultiHop Radio with RS485 connected to VT2 Vibration and Temperature Sensors, must
be bound to the DXM Wireless Controller inside the Solutions Kit to begin communicating.
Following the instructions below, the radios are assigned a Modbus slave ID and begin communicating with the
DXM wirelessly. Radios and sensors are purchased separately and after they are combined, must be bound
