DXM150-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave baseline filter Under normal conditions, the ambient magnetic field fluctuates. When the magnetic field readings drift (M-GAGE) below a threshold setting, the baseline or drift filter uses an algorithm to slowly match the radio device’s baseline to the ambient magnetic field. binding (DX80 Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound star networks)

DXM150-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave Gateway Link Failure—Gateway link failures are determined by three global parameters: Polling Interval, Maximum Missed Message Count and Re-link Count. When the Node’s Gateway Link Failure flag is set and the Gateway determines a timeout condition exists for a Node, any outputs linked from the failing Node are set to the user-defined default state.

DXM150-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave line of sight Line of sight is the unobstructed path between radio antennas. link failures A Host Link Failure occurs when the defined timeout period, typically about four seconds, elapses with no communication between the host system (or Modbus master device) and the DX80 Gateway. A Gateway Link Failure refers to the radio link between a Node and the Gateway and is determined by three global parameters: Polling Interval, Maximum Missed Message Count, and Re-link Count.

DXM150-Sx Wireless Modbus Slave Node Nodes are remote I/O slave devices within Banner's wireless sensor networks. Sensors and other devices connect to the Node's inputs or outputs, allowing the Node to collect sensor data and wirelessly transmit it to the Gateway. Every Sure Cross device is a transceiver, meaning it can transmit and receive data.
