MultiHop Configuration Software

Use Banner’s MultiHop Configuration Software to view your MultiHop radio network and configure the radio and its I/O.

The software connects to a MultiHop master radio using one of four methods.

• Serial; using a USB to RS-485 (for RS-485 radios) or a USB to RS-232 (for RS-232

radios) converter cable.

• Modbus TCP; using an Ethernet connection to an Ethernet radio master.

• Serial DXM; using a USB cable to a DXM Controller to access a MultiHop master

radio.

• TCP DXM: using an Ethernet connection to a DXM Controller to access a MultiHop

master radio.

For MultiHop DX80DR* models, Banner recommends using BWA-UCT-900, an RS-485 to USB adapter cable with a wall plug that can power your 1

Watt MultiHop radio while you configure it. The adapter cable is not required when connecting to a DXM Controller.

Modbus Addressing Convention

All Modbus addresses refer to Modbus holding registers. When writing your own Modbus scripts, use the appropriate commands for interfacing to

holding registers. Parameter description headings refer to addresses in the range of 40000 as is customary with Modbus convention.

Modbus Register Configuration

Change the factory default settings for the inputs, outputs, and device operations using the device Modbus registers. To change parameters, set the

data radio network to Modbus mode and assign the data radio a valid Modbus slave ID.

Generic input or output parameters are grouped together based on the device input or output number: input 1, input 2, output 1 etc. Operation type

specific parameters (discrete, counter, analog 4 to 20 mA) are grouped together based on the I/O type number: analog 1, analog 2, counter 1, etc.

Not all inputs or outputs may be available for all models. To determine which specific I/O is available on your model, refer to the Modbus Input/

Output Register Maps listed in the device's datasheet. For more information about registers, refer to the MultiHop Product Manual (p/n 151317).
