Industrial wireless network

BANNER Engineering has introduced the SureCross wireless network, the first wireless platform purpose-built for industry — featuring proprietary radio frequency (RF) design, advanced power management features and communications integrity.

SureCross is designed and built by Banner, and it is optimised for a wide range of sensing and control applications with superior reliability, security and deterministic response capabilities.

The most basic SureCross network consists of a Gateway 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, depending on configuration.

Rugged, self-contained Banner SureCross 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.

SureCross demonstrates the operational reliability and optimum security required for industrial applications by employing Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) communications-integrity verified by bidirectional transceivers in each device to fully acknowledge data transmission.

Time division multiple access (TDMA) slots guarantee bandwidth to each node, while polling and site survey capabilities ensure communication integrity, either at the gateway or locally at each device by means of an integrated display.

SureCross offers both 900MHz and 2.4GHz models, allowing deployment of advanced wireless capabilities anywhere in the world. Power for remote nodes is facilitated by Banner’s innovative FlexPower solution that offers the flexibility of line power, solar power, or years of continuous operation using Banner’s exclusive FlexPower battery module.

Banner offers a large number of SureCross Wireless kits configured to solve many common applications quickly and easily.

Preset functionality makes the network easy to deploy and operate, and a network can be easily reconfigured or relocated by means of simple onboard network ID switches.

Users can also alter presets and expand systems, creating a solution tailored for their individual applications.
