To expand the number devices going to Ethernet/IP, change the Devices in system parameter in the DX80 Gateway (default setting is 8) to 32.
To change this value:
1)
Launch the the DX80 Configuration Software.
2)
In the menu bar, go to Device > Connection Settings and select Serial or Ethernet DXM.
3)
In the Configuration > Device Configuration screen, click on the arrow next to the Gateway to expand and display the Gateway's
parameters.
4)
In the System section, use the Devices in system drop-down list to make your selection.
This allows the user to maximize the use of the EtherNet/IP buffer to 28 devices.
EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files allow users of the EtherNet/IP protocol to easily add a Banner DXM device to the PLC. Download the EDS files
from the Banner website.

8.4.1. Configuring the Host PLC
On the host PLC, install the DXM1200 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 DXM1200. The host system sees the DXM1200 as a generic device with the product
name of
(ProdType: 43 - Generic Device, ProdName: Banner DXM, Integer Type - INT).
Banner DXM
: Do not set the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) any faster than 150 ms.
IMPORTANT
8.4.2. Configuring the Controller
Use the configuration software to define the Protocol conversion for each local register to be EIP Originator > DXM or EIP DXM > Originator
from the Edit Register or Modify Multiple Register screens.
Define a DXM local register as EIP Originator > DXM when the host PLC (Originator) will send data to the DXM1200 local register (DXM).
Define a DXM local register as EIP DXM > Originator when that register data will be sent from the DXM1200 (DXM) to the host PLC (Originator).
Data from an EIP controller in assembly instance 112 is data destined for the DXM1200 local registers. The PLC is normally configured for INT
or UINT data transfer. This allows for a seamless transfer of data.

Data from the DXM1200 local registers is sent to the EIP controller using assembly instance 100. Each local register in the DXM1200 defined as
EIP DXM > Originator is collected in numerical order and placed into the data buffer destined for assembly instance 100. DXM local registers
are capable of 32-bits, but only the lower 2-bytes (16-bits) for each local register are transferred.
