Easy to Apply Wireless Modules Go Where Other Systems Can’t.
The Banner SureCross Wireless System is a radio device network with integrated I/O
that can operate in extreme environments while eliminating the need for costly wiring
runs. The most basic SureCross network includes a Gateway system controller and one or
more Nodes that monitor and/or control I/O in remote locations. Nodes are easily deployed
throughout a facility, for gathering data to be concentrated at the Gateway. Installation is
fast and easy with flexible mounting and power options. Nodes can be either line-powered
(10 to 30V dc) or FlexPowered with multi-year battery life providing power for communications
and to external sensors.
The Gateway can act as a master device in a star topology autonomously controlling
input to output mapping, or a Modbus Slave in a host control system using RS-485 Modbus
RTU. To relay mapped I/O longer distances, a Gateway can be positioned between two
Nodes to increase transmission range of the network.
SureCross is distinctly superior to conventional wireless networks, facilitating sensing
and actuation on the same network. Not to mention its ability to transmit the status of
each I/O point and continuously monitor the health of each Node’s operational status and
signal integrity.
