System Layouts

Because of the flexibility of the DX80 wireless devices, many different configurations using Gateways, Nodes,

GatewayPros, Ethernet Bridges, Modbus slave devices, data radios, data radio repeaters, and/or solar powered systems

are possible, both as stand-alone systems and host-connected systems.

DX80 Gateway, 900 MHz DX80DR9M-H MultiHop Radio

Stand-Alone Systems

Mapped Pairs (DX70)

In this system, a DX70 pair is used to map I/O in a simple one-to-one configuration. Inputs on one DX70 are mapped to

the outputs of the other device. DX70 kits are configured at the factory and require no additional configuration by the user.

Configure this network using the User Configuration Tool (UCT) and RS-485 to USB adapter cable. The UCT is used to map inputs and outputs between Nodes and Gateways. 2 1 2 2 Item Model No. 2 Description 1 DX80G... DX80 or DX80 Performance Gateway 2 DX80N...

System Layouts Gateway Configured as a Modbus Master This example network uses the Gateway as master of the wireless network and master of the Modbus network. This configuration is used when the I/O capacity of the Gateway is exceeded. The Gateway is configured with a table of mapping entries that allow the DX85 Modbus RTU Remote I/O devices (as Modbus slaves) to be mapped to the wireless Nodes.

System Layouts Modbus RTU Modbus RTU Host Controlled Operation A simple host-connected system uses an RS-485 serial cable to connect the Gateway to a host system. The host system may be a PC or a PLC unit. Because the serial cable is used to connect to a host system, the communications protocol used is Modbus RTU. The wireless network is a Modbus slave. In this configuration, the wireless network collects I/O data and sends it back to a Modbus host system.

System Layouts Modbus RTU with Multiple Slave Devices In the example host controlled configuration, the Gateway is a Modbus slave to the host system, but remains the master of the wireless network. The Gateway is connected directly to the host system using an RS-485 serial cable. This system may also connect DX85 Modbus RTU Remote I/O devices to the serial cable to expand the available I/O. The Gateway and each DX85 connected as shown below are Modbus slave devices to the host system.

System Layouts Modbus RTU with Multiple Slave Devices - Layout 2 In this example host controlled configuration, the Gateway is a Modbus slave to the host system, but remains the master of the wireless network. The Gateway is connected directly to the host system using a fieldbus connection. This system also connects DX85 Modbus RTU Remote I/O devices and a third-party Modbus slave device to the serial bus to expand the available I/O.

System Layouts Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP Host Connected - DX80 GatewayPro Connect a GatewayPro to a host system using the GatewayPro's industrial Ethernet connection. To connect the GatewayPro directly to the host system, use a crossover cable. By default, the GatewayPro is a Modbus/TCP or EtherNet/IP™ server. To configure the GatewayPro as a Modbus client device, use the configuration Web pages. Host System 3 1 2 Wireless Network 5 Host System 4 3 1 1 3 Wireless Network Item Model No.
