5. Use the left button to cycle the value from 0 through 9 and the right button to accept the value and move the cursor to the next digit right.
Each sensor must be assigned a unique slave ID.
6. Push and hold button 2 until SAVING displays on the screen.
7. To repeat for more sensors, unplug the sensor and plug in the next sensor and repeat the steps, using a unique ID.
8. After you have assigned unique slave IDs to all sensors, double-click button 2 to return to the main menu.
9. Plug in all sensors to be attached to that radio.
Bind a MultiHop Radio to a DXM and Assign the Device ID
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate radios by 2 meters when running binding procedure. Put only one
DXM MultiHop master radio into binding mode at a time to prevent binding the slave radios to the wrong master radio.
Binding MultiHop radios ensures all MultiHop radios within a network communicate only with other radios within the same network. The MultiHop
radio master automatically generates a unique binding code when the radio master enters binding mode. This code is then transmitted to all radios
within range that are also in binding mode. After a repeater/slave is bound, the repeater/slave radio accepts data only from the master to which it is
bound. The binding code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same binding code.
1. Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
a)
Use the arrow keys select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and press ENTER.
b) Highlight the Binding menu and press ENTER.
2. Assign the device address to the repeater or slave radios.
•
For MultiHop radios without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the device ID to assign to the MultiHop radio about to enter
binding mode. The DXM assigns this device ID to the next radio that enters binding mode. Only bind one slave radio at a time.
•
For MultiHop radios with rotary dials: Use the repeater or slave's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal device ID (11 through 60). The left
rotary dial represents the tens digit (1 through 6) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0 through 9) of the device ID.
3. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by pressing ENTER on the DXM radio.
4. After entering binding mode on the MultiHop Radio, put the MultiHop repeater or slave radio into binding mode.
•
For housed radios, triple-click button 2.
•
For board-level radios, triple-click the button.
•
For radios without buttons, refer to the radio's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.
After binding is completed, the MultiHop slave automatically exits binding mode and begins operation.
5. Press BACK on the DXM to exit binding mode for that specific device address.
6. Label the MultiHop slave radio with the assigned address number for future reference.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, changing the device address for as many MultiHop slaves as are needed for your network.
8. When you are finished binding, press BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
All radio devices begin to form the network after the master data radio exits binding mode.
Transparent Mode
In a typical MultiHop system, data radios are constantly powered and provide a direct wireless connection to attached Modbus sensors, which can
be polled at any time. With the H10 battery-powered data radio, follow these steps to use transparent mode and enhance your battery life.
To create a transparent link to the sensors, set a few global registers in the master radio (slave ID 1). One register puts all connected radios into a full
listening mode called FullMacWhen and the second register enables switch power to all the connected sensors. Using these two registers gives you
the benefits of a MultiHop connection to any Banner 1-wire serial sensor without needing connect 10 to 30 V DC to the radio.
After you first boot the master DXM that this H10 radio will be connecting to, set register 6161 to 1 on master radio (slave ID 1) to enable Global
Flags.
• Register 6329—FullMacWhen
• Register 6165—Enable Switch Power
1. Set the registers to a value of 1 and wait a few seconds. All attached H10 radios now act as if they were powered by 10 to 30 V DC.
2. Poll the data from the attached 1-wire serial sensors.
3. After the polling cycle of all sensors is complete, set the two registers back to 0.
To properly trigger the global registers, take the necessary data from each sensor, and then shut off the global registers quickly, use a ScriptBasic
file. With a ScriptBasic file, the timing of turning on the global registers and collecting the data from the sensors, as well as knowing when the last
sensors data has been read ensures that the FullMacWhen and Enable Switch Power are not left on longer than necessary.
Do not leave the global registers on (1) because it will drain the H10 battery much faster.
MultiHop Configuration Software
Use Banner's MultiHop Configuration Software to view your MultiHop radio network and configure the radio and its I/O.
For MultiHop DX80DR* models, Banner recommends using BWA-UCT-900, an RS-485 to USB adapter cable with a wall plug that can power your 1
Watt MultiHop radio while you configure it. The adapter cable is not required when connecting to a DXM Controller.

The software connects to a MultiHop master radio using one of four methods.
• Serial; using a USB to RS-485 (for RS-485 radios) or a USB to RS-232 (for RS-232
radios) converter cable.
• Modbus TCP; using an Ethernet connection to an Ethernet radio master.
• Serial DXM; using a USB cable to a DXM Controller to access a MultiHop master
radio.
• TCP DXM: using an Ethernet connection to a DXM Controller to access a MultiHop
master radio.
