Wireless Controllers
Banner Engineering DXM wireless controllers integrate wireless radio, cellular and Ethernet connectivity, and local I/O to provide a platform for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications. Available with an internal DX80 Gateway or a MultiHop Data Radio, these powerful Modbus communications devices connect local wireless networks with the internet and/or host systems. DXM controllers can be used to control wireless networks, consolidate networks or create a network backbone.
Applications:
- Predictive Maintenance Monitoring: monitor equipment to detect problems early and avoid additional damage and unplanned downtime
- Environmental Monitoring: minimize material loss by monitoring temperature and humidity in climate controlled areas
- Productivity Solutions: create call-for-parts/service and pick-to-light systems to increase productivity and reduce error
Benefits:
- Low-cost method for retrofits or IIoT connectivity (ability to monitor/control via the Cloud)
- High feature content allows flexibility to choose the features needed
- Small DIN-rail footprint eases panel constraints
- Standard protocol options simplify integration
- Simple menu-driven LCD display
Features:
- ISM radios available in 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz for local wireless network
- Converts Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet I/P
- Logic controller can be programmed using action rules and text language methods
- Micro SD card for data logging
- Email and text alerts
- Local I/O options: isolated discrete inputs, universal inputs, SPDT (Form C) relay outputs, NMOS outputs, and analog outputs
- Powered by 12 to 30 V dc, 12 V dc solar panel or battery backup
- RS-232, RS-485, and Ethernet communications ports, and a USB configuration port
- LCD display for I/O information and user programmable LEDs
- Cell modem for cellular connectivity
