Banner’s DX series solutions for wireless applications

Technews Industry Guide - Wireless 2013 Data Acquisition & Telemetry Industrial Wireless

Banner Engineering’s complete wireless portfolio for industrial use includes its point-to-point solution, DX70, the network version, DX80, and now the new DX99 series with Atex approval for zone 0. A new solar panel providing self-sufficient power supply for external devices completes the portfolio. The wireless series is a comprehensive and flexible solution for industrial use. Possible applications include integration of expensive-to-access remote fill level control systems, substitution of abrasive rings at rotary indexing tables or wireless communication for driverless transport systems.

Banner’s wireless families support various signal types, from analogue to binary contacts or frequency signals, to digital protocols via RS-232 or RS-485. Depending on the individual application, users may chose between a cost effective point-to-point solution – a gateway with one node – or a network architecture in which one gateway can operate up to 99 nodes. Banner’s wireless solution transmits within the 2,4 GHz band and allows safe and reliable wireless communication using the standardised transmission protocols TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) and FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum). Gateways and nodes feature IP67 protection and can be operated in ambient temperatures between -40 and 85°C.
