When a default condition occurs, these default
output values are written to the output register.

State

The I/O point retains the last value recorded in-
stead of the default output value during selec-
ted default conditions.

Invert I/O Selecting this checkbox inverts the digital rep-

resentation of the I/O.

I/O Se-

or
Type

Select the I/O type from the drop-down list. The
drop-down list includes all options available for
the entire DX80 line. Not all I/O types included in
the drop-down list are applicable for any given de-
vice. Refer to the device data sheet to determine
which options are available for each device.

“Other” Type #: Occasionally some newly de-
signed and released devices will use I/O types
not yet listed in the drop-down list for I/O Type.
When this happens, Banner Engineering applica-
tions engineers will supply the “other” type num-
ber. Select Other from the I/O Type drop-down list
and enter the I/O type number supplied by Ban-
ner Engineering into this field.

Sampling and Reporting

Re-
port
Inter-
val/
Rate

The report rate defines how often the Node com-
municates the I/O status to the Gateway. Change
of state reporting sets the system to report only
when the value crosses the threshold setting. For
FlexPower™ applications, setting the report rate to
a slower rate extends the battery life.

I/O Status

Re-
port
Type

Select from discrete or analog format reporting
types. Analog data requires sixteen bits while dis-
crete data uses only one bit per I/O point. Selecting
double from the list uses two consecutive registers,
each consisting of sixteen bits.

Sam-
ple
Inter-
val/
Rate

The sample interval, or rate, defines how often the
SureCross device samples the input. For battery-
powered applications, setting a slower rate ex-
tends the battery life.

Analog Signal Conditioning

Delta The delta parameter defines the change required be-

tween sample points of an analog input before the
analog input reports a new value. To turn off this op-
tion, set the Delta value to 0.

Digitial Signal Conditioning

For discrete inputs, the sample high parameter
defines the number of consecutive samples the
input signal must be high before a signal is con-
sidered active. Sample low defines the number
of consecutive samples the input signal must be
low before a signal is considered low. The sam-

Threshold and hysteresis work together to es-
tablish the ON and OFF points of an analog in-
put. The threshold defines a trigger point or re-
porting threshold (ON point) for a sensor input.
The hysteresis value establishes how much be-
low the active threshold (ON point) an analog in-
put is required to be before the input is consid-
