Wireless network

Banner has introduced SureCross wireless network, the first wireless platform built from the ground up for industry — featuring RF design, power management features and robust communications integrity.

It is designed and optimised for a wide range of sensing and control applications with good reliability, security and response capabilities.

The most basic network consists of a system controller and one or more remotely located nodes that bring monitoring and control capabilities to connected I/O.

Nodes are easily deployed throughout a facility, gathering information to be concentrated at the gateway.

Each gateway can simultaneously support up to 15 nodes and each node can accommodate up to 12 I/O points.

Gateways and nodes accommodate both digital and analog I/O in a single platform.

SureCross also offers bidirectional Rx/Tx communications with reliable performance capabilities to provide monitoring and control in processing applications. This feature protects information during communication interruption or failure by reverting to a configured default output condition.

The network automatically returns to normal operational status when the RF link is re-established.

Both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz models are available, allowing deployment of wireless capabilities anywhere in the world.
