DX80 Quick Start Guide A setup guide for the DX80 wireless system Introducing the Banner DX80 Wireless System The DX80 wireless system provides continuous monitoring without the burden of wiring or conduit installation, and can operate independently or in conjunction with a PLC and/or PC software.
Six-character display provides run mode user information and shows enabled I/O point status. This display allows the user to conduct a Site Survey (RSSI), assign Network ID, and modify other DX80 configuration parameters without the use of a PC or other external software interfaces.

GETTING STARTED – NETWORK SETUP Quick Start: STEP 1 > Set Network ID & Device/Node Address The Banner DX80 wireless system is a network of devices consisting of a Gateway and Node(s). Network ID (NID) Device Address The network is defined by the Network ID (NID) assigned to the Gateway and its Node(s).

RF Link Time-out & Recovery Banner DX80 wireless devices employ a deterministic link time-out method to address RF link interruption or failure. As soon as a specific Node/Gateway RF link times out, all pertinent wired outputs are de-energized until the link is recovered (see kit-specific Supplemental Sheet for more information).

Link between Gateway and Node 1 timed out. Link between Gateway and Node 1 recovered. It is the responsibility of the Host to handle Node device error messages. This will result in outputs being reinstated. Banner Engineering Corp. Minneapolis, MN U.S.A. •...
Also verify that the LCD on the output side mirrors the linked input’s behavior. If the input device state, LCD on origination working DX80, and LCD on destination DX80 all behave exactly the same, there may be a wiring issue or an interfacing problem. Consult factory.
