Frequently Asked Questions

Which Banner sensors are compatible with this cable?

This cable is designed for Banner Engineering Sure Cross 1-wire serial sensors with a 5-pin M12 male connector. It is not compatible with sensors using RS-485, IO-Link, or other communication interfaces, or with sensors that use a different connector type.

Does the cable include the Sensor Configuration Software?

The software is not included. Banner Engineering's Sensor Configuration Software is a free download from Banner Engineering's website and must be installed on a supported Windows PC before use.

What Windows versions are supported?

Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10, in both 32-bit and 64-bit configurations. macOS and Linux are not supported.

Will this cable power the sensor during configuration?

Yes. The cable supplies 5V DC from the USB port to a single Banner Sure Cross 1-wire serial sensor. It is intended for configuring one sensor at a time and is not designed to power multiple sensors simultaneously.

Is this the right cable to extend an existing Sure Cross sensor network?

No. This cable is a PC configuration tool, not a network extension cable. For sensor-to-network wiring, Banner offers separate cordset products. This adapter connects the sensor to a Windows PC for software configuration only.

A Banner Sure Cross network runs as well as its sensors are configured - and every one of those sensors had to sit on the end of this cable at some point before it went to work. Now this one is ready for yours.
