• Banner Wireless is used to send I/O data (discrete, analog, serial, Modbus, etc.) wirelessly between Nodes and Gateways
• Unlike Wi-Fi, Banner Wireless uses a dedicated binding address between Gateway and Nodes to establish communication
• The communication utilizes FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) to minimize potential communication interference
• Only sends IO data, not specific information. Difficult to “hack”.
• Networks are available in 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz

Banner Wireless improves your ability to collect data from your operations

• You can create wireless networks without incurring the cost of wiring and conduit
• You can Retrofit older equipment so that it is Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capable
• You can access remote machines, tanks or silos.  No need to climb or visit remote areas to gather data
• You can easily establish a predictive maintenance program to monitor the health of crucial machine components
• Older machines that were not intended for data collection can become part of the factory network

DX80 Networks, up to 47 Nodes

•   Point to Point or Star Topology:  Gateways communicate to Nodes and any connected Host System (PLC)
•   Less complicated – Nodes talk only to the Gateway, the Gateway can be used as repeater

Multi-Hop Networks, Up to 50 Devices

•   Utilize a Tree Topology: Master communicates to slaves
•   Able to use repeaters

Gateway

• Collects data from all nodes to a single point
• Outputs to Host System via Modbus RS485, Modbus TCP, & Ethernet IP
• Assigns network ID to nodes and monitors network connection of nodes
• Can link I/O between nodes to allow wireless control
• Many gateways include on-board I/O

Nodes

• Gather device data from discrete and/or analog inputs
• Nodes with 1-wire serial interface collect data from Banner wireless sensors
• Control local device via outputs
• Some Nodes have Sensors built in

Node Configurations

• Node Power: Available in number of power configurations;  Battery Powered by internal battery, DC Powered by an external source such as a power supply, AC Powered
