Product Overview
Banner Engineering DXMR90-X1 is an industrial controller and protocol gateway built for the Snap Signal IIoT platform. It operates as a Modbus RTU master, polling serial devices and converting that data into EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, or PROFINET for integration with modern PLC and SCADA systems. With native MQTT support, it can also publish machine data directly to cloud platforms without requiring additional middleware.
More than a simple gateway, the DXMR90-X1 includes an internal logic engine capable of running Action Rules and MicroPython scripts. This allows edge processing such as scaling, alarm logic, and custom data formatting before information reaches a PLC or cloud dashboard. Its compact form factor and IP67-rated housing make it suitable for on-machine mounting without a dedicated control cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as the DXMR90-4K?
No. The DXMR90-X1 is a focused edge controller typically used for single-stream Modbus RTU aggregation. The -4K variant provides multiple independent Modbus branches.
What power supply is required?
The unit operates from 12V to 30V DC. A regulated 24V industrial supply is commonly used for stable operation.
Can it communicate directly with Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLCs?
Yes. It supports EtherNet/IP and PROFINET, allowing integration with major PLC platforms that use those protocols.
Does it support cloud connectivity?
Yes. Native MQTT support enables direct data publishing to common cloud platforms without additional gateways.
Is it suitable for wash-down environments?
The enclosure is IP67 rated when properly installed with sealed M12 connectors and port caps.
When a legacy machine needs to speak modern Ethernet without rewriting the entire control program, this DXMR90-X1 becomes the translator at the edge. Mount it, wire it, and let it move data where it needs to go.
