Banner Engineering SureCross B2Q Gateway Module

The Banner Engineering SureCross B2Q Gateway Module has been developed to provide embeddable, dependable and cost-effective communication capabilities for the company’s Q45 wireless sensor network. The module features discrete outputs and DIP switches to map inputs from up to two wireless sensors to the gateway’s outputs. With its board-level design and easy mounting capabilities, the Banner Q45 B2Q gateway is easily embedded inside equipment, enclosures and on control panels.

The SureCross B2Q Gateway module initiates communication with the Wireless Q45 sensors and accurately controls timing and configuration for the entire network.

DIP switches allow users to select one of eight defined I/O mapping configurations to automatically map the Q45’s inputs to the Gateway’s outputs. The included Site Survey analyses the network’s strength and reliability and conveys results through a bi-colour LED indicator.

Transceivers provide bidirectional communication between the Gateway and Q45, including fully acknowledged data transmission, and lost RF links are detected and relevant outputs set to user-defined conditions.

The SureCross B2Q Gateway module was developed for use with Banner’s SureCross Q45 wireless sensor family. Designed with a proprietary, self-contained battery, radio and sensor, the SureCross Q45 improves efficiency by monitoring and coordinating multiple machines and processes.
