Banner SureCross DX83 Ethernet Bridge - Manual

DX83 Ethernet Bridge for industrial network configuration and communication
The SureCross® DX80 is a radio frequency network system built around a Gateway and one
or more Nodes. The DX83 Ethernet Bridge connects between a DX80 Gateway device and a
computer. Once connected, the DX80 system may be configured using any Web browser.
The DX83 Ethernet Bridge also allows a host connection using Modbus/TCP.
• 10 to 30V dc power input
• Modbus serial interface and Ethernet interface
• XML formatted files store multiple configurations of the DX80 system
• IP address accessible configuration Web page

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious
injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its
use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-
energized sensor output condition.

and Battery Supply Module
The SureCross® DX80 wireless I/O network provides reliable moni-
toring without wiring or conduit installation. The SureCross wireless
network operates independently or in conjunction with a host system,
PLC, and/or PC software.
Each wireless network system consists of one Gateway and one or
more Nodes. Devices ship with factory-defined discrete, analog, or a
mix of discrete and analog inputs and outputs.
The SureCross® DX80 network is a deterministic system—the net-
work identifies when the radio signal is lost and drives relevant out-
puts to user-defined conditions. After the radio signal is reacquired,
the network returns to normal operation.
SureCross® DX80 Gateways and Nodes
A Gateway is the master device within each radio network. Every wireless network must have one Gateway, which schedules communi-
cation traffic and controls the I/O configuration for the network, and one or more Nodes. Similar to how a gateway device on a wired
network acts as a “portal” between networks, the SureCross Gateway acts as the portal between the wireless network and the host
controller. When the Gateway, using its Modbus RTU RS-485 connection, is a Modbus slave to a Modbus RTU host controller, the wire-
less network may contain up to 47 Nodes in a single wireless network. The Gateway holds the Modbus registers of all wireless devices
within the network.
