5.2.2 Troubleshooting a Configuration
View Local Registers using the
Local Registers
>
Local Registers in Use
screen of the configuration software.
When a configuration is running on the DXMR90-4K, 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 DXMR90-4K. The DXM Configuration
Software uploads the configuration file saved on the PC to the DXMR90-4K; it will not send the configuration loaded in the
tool.
5.2.4 Uploading or Downloading Configuration Files
The DXMR90-4K requires a XML configuration file to become operational. To upload or download configuration files, connect
a computer to the DXMR90-4K 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 DXMR90-4K can be configured to send/receive local register data to and from an EtherNet/IP
™
1
host. EDS (Electronic
Data Sheet) files 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 DXMR90-4K 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 DXMR90-4K. The host system sees the DXMR90-4K as a
generic device with the product name of Banner DXM (ProdType: 43 - Generic Device, ProdName: Banner DXM, Integer
Type - INT).
Important:
Do not set the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) any faster than 150 ms.
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 DXMR90-4K local
register (DXM).
Define a DXM local register as
EIP DXM
>
Originator
when that register data will be sent from the DXMR90-4K (DXM) to the
host PLC (Originator).
Data from an EIP controller in assembly instance 112 is data destined for the DXMR90-4K local registers. The PLC is
normally configured for INT or UINT data transfer. This allows for a seamless transfer of data.
