Configure DX80N9X6S-PM8 for counting

Out of the box, DX80N9X6S-PM8 sensors are only configured to show as an on/off signal and not a count. To create a count, we will configure the gateway to monitor the on/off signal and have it create a counter.

Steps

  1. Open the DXM Configuration Software and connect to the DXM gateway.

  1. Navigate to Local Registers > Action Rules > Trackers

  1. Here, we configure a tracker to watch the Register that signal on/off and record the number of times this happens in a Result Register. Input 1 of each node is the 1 + (NodeID x 16)

  1. Now save this configuration to the DXM using the toolbar menu at the top of the screen. DXM > Send XML Configuration to DXM
