Setting The Maximum System Devices; Storage Mode And Sleep Mode; Modbus Communication Parameters; Setting The Slave Id On A Dx80 Gateway - Banner SureCross DX80 Product Manual

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.

5.5 Setting the Maximum System Devices

To set the maximum number of devices in your system, use the MAXN submenu, located under the *DVCFG (Device Configuration)
menu.
Selecting the maximum number of system radio devices (Gateway and all Nodes) changes the timing for the wireless net-
work. For example, 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.

5.6 Storage Mode and Sleep Mode

While in storage mode, the radio does not operate. All SureCross
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 integrated 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 contin-
ues to function, but the LCD goes blank. To wake the device, press any button.

5.7 Modbus Communication Parameters

To access the Modbus device, you may first need to configure system-level communication parameters on the Gateway.
The following procedures are necessary to change the Gateway's 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 or DX80 Performance wireless system. All device I/O for the network is accessed using the host/master
device.
Parameter Default Value
Slave ID 1
Baud Rate 19200
Parity None

5.7.1 Setting the Slave ID on a DX80 Gateway

By default, all Gateways are set to Modbus Slave ID 1.
To change the Slave ID on the Gateway, follow these steps.
1. Single click button 1 to advance between menus. Stop when you reach the DVCFG menu.
2. Press button 2 once at the *DVCFG menu to enter the Device Configuration menu.
3. Press button 1 to advance through the items in the *DVCFG menu. Stop advancing when you've reached the setting for
the slave ID (SLID).
The screen is displaying (SLID).
4. Press button 2 once to enter the slave ID (SLID) submenu.
The screen displays the current slave ID number.
5. Press button 1 to advance across the three digit slave ID while using the right rotary dial to select the number. To
make a change, rotate the right rotary dial to zero, then to the desired number.
As you press button 1 to select the digit, the digit changes to reflect the position of the right rotary dial. To set the
slave ID to 3, the display should read 003.
6. Press button 2 once to save your current setting.
The display reads SAVED.
7. Double click button 2 to exit the *DVCFG menu.
8. If using a Network ID (NID), adjust both rotary switches back to the NID value.

Description
Defines the slave number (01–99) for the serial Modbus RTU protocol. When operat-
ing more than one network with a Modbus Master device, change the Slave IDs.
Defines communication data rate (19.2, 38.4, or 9.6 kbps) between the Gateway
and the Host through the serial interface.
Defines serial parity (none, even, or odd) between Gateway and Host.
