When a configuration is running on the DXMR110-8K, viewing the Local Registers can help you to understand the application's operation. This
utility can also access data from remote devices and the LED registers.
5.2.3. Saving and Loading Configuration Files
The DXM Configuration Software saves its configuration information in a XML file. Use the File menu to Save or Load configuration files.
Save the configuration file before attempting to upload the configuration to the DXMR110-8K. The DXM Configuration Software uploads the
configuration file saved on the PC to the DXMR110-8K; it will not send the configuration loaded in the tool.
5.2.4. Uploading or Downloading Configuration Files
The DXMR110-8K requires a XML configuration file to become operational. To upload or download configuration files, connect a computer to the
DXMR110-8K using the Ethernet port. Then use the Upload Configuration to Device or Download Configuration from Device under the
Device menu.
5.3. EtherNet/IP™ Configuration
The DXMR110-8K can be configured to send/receive local register data to and from an EtherNet/IP™
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.

5.3.1. Configuring the Host PLC
On the host PLC, install the DXMR110-8K 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 DXMR110-8K. The host system sees the DXMR110-8K as a generic device with the
product name of
Banner DXM
: Do not set the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) any faster than 150 ms.
IMPORTANT
5.3.2. 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 DXMR110-8K local register (DXM).
Define a DXM local register as EIP DXM > Originator when that register data will be sent from the DXMR110-8K (DXM) to the host PLC (Orig-
inator).
Data from an EIP controller in assembly instance 112 is data destined for the DXMR110-8K local registers. The PLC is normally configured for
INT or UINT data transfer. This allows for a seamless transfer of data.

Data from the DXMR110-8K local registers is sent to the EIP controller using assembly instance 100. Each local register in the DXMR110-8K
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.
