Easy to Apply Wireless Modules Go Where Other Systems Can’t.

SureCross™ is distinctly superior to conventional wireless networks, facilitating sensing and actuation on the same network, along with an ability to transmit the status of each I/O point and continuously monitor the health of each Node’s operational status and signal integrity.

The most basic SureCross network includes a Gateway system controller and one or more Nodes that monitor and/or control I/O in remote locations. The Gateway can act as a master device in a star topology autonomously controlling input to output mapping, or a Modbus Slave in a host control system using RS-485 Modbus RTU. To relay mapped I/O longer distances, a Gateway can be positioned between two Nodes to increase transmission range of the network up to six miles. Networks are available in 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz models.

External sensors and communications are powered by efficient Banner FlexPower™ technology, offering 10 to 30V dc line-power, long-life SureCross™battery module or solar power flexibility.

SureCross™ Gateway and Node Possibilities I/O can be tailored to accommodate up to 12 functions per device. Open design supports inputs from sensors & devices from Banner and other manufacturers. Multiple network and protocol options make it easy to link to industrial host systems. FlexPower™ devices enable sensing solutions never before possible.
