SureCross™ DX80 Web Configurator
Instruction Manual
Examples
I/O Configuration
Use the
Configure Points
page to select the I/O type and settings for each SureCross™ device.
The
Configure Points
page can be accessed using either the
Configure Points
tab or by clicking
the device number in the left column of the
Select Models
page. Use the Prev and Next buttons to
scroll through the devices.
In the sample shown, I/O points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are set up on the Gateway
because this Gateway is a four discrete in, four discrete out, two analog in, and two analog out
model. To define your device:
Select the I/O Enable checkbox. If the checkbox is not enabled, that I/O point is active
and is ignored.
From the I/O Selection drop-down list, select the appropriate I/O configuration. Refer to
the device data sheet to determine which discrete and which analog I/O points are active
for a given device. (NPN and PNP settings for discrete I/O shown on the data sheet are
default settings only and can be changed.)
Give the I/O points descriptive names to make future register configuration easier.
Because sample and reporting intervals apply only to inputs, only set the intervals for the
inputs. Hysteresis, threshold, and delta values apply only to analog inputs.
Set the Polling Interval, Max Bad Count, and Re-link Count as needed.
The polling interval defines how often the Gateway polls each Node to verify the radio
link is operating. A typical setting is 16 seconds.
The maximum bad count refers to the maximum count of consecutive failed polling
attempts before the Gateway considers the radio link to be broken. The failed polling
attempts must be consecutive failed attempts.
The re-link count is the number of completed polling messages the Gateway receives
back from a previously failed Node before the radio link is re-established.
6. Set the default output conditions for each SureCross device. In the example shown,
the default output conditions apply during a Node link failure or a Gateway link failure.
Selecting the Auto-recover option sets the Gateway to auto-recover with out-of-sync
Nodes by polling and successfully communicating with the failed Node four times (re-link
count setting) before erasing the error
condition.
Click the Get Info button to retrieve the
device serial number, model number,
product date, RF version, and other
information that might be helpful for
technical support.

this and the expanded view screen, please
