CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.1.2. Controller Configuration Authentication
The DXMR110-8K can be programmed to allow changes to the configuration files only with proper authentication by setting up a password on
the Settings > Administration screen in the DXM Configuration Software.
With the DXMR110-8K connected to the PC, click Get Device Status. The DXMR110-8K status displays next to the button.
Figure 3: Settings > Administration screen
Use the DXM Configuration Software to:
• Set the Admin Password
• Change the Admin Password
• Remove the Admin Password
To change or remove an admin password, the current password must be supplied. The DXMR110-8K must be connected to the PC to change
the administration password.
5.2. Register Flow and Configuration
The DXMR110-8K register data flow goes through the Local Registers, which are data storage elements that reside within the processor. Using
the configuration software, the controller can be programmed to move register data from the Local Register pool to remote devices or the I/O
base.

5.2.1. Basic Approach to Configuration
When programming an application in the DXMR110-8K, first plan the overall data structure of the Local Registers. The Local Registers are the
main storage elements in the DXMR110-8K. Everything goes into or out of the Local Registers.
1) In the DXM Configuration Software, name the Local Registers to provide the beginning structure of the application.
2) Configure the read/write rules to move the data. The Read/Write rules are simple rules that move data between devices (Nodes,
Modbus servers, sensors, etc) and the Local Registers.
3) Most applications require the ability to manipulate the Local Register data, not just move data around. Use the Action rules to make
decisions or transform the data after the data is in the Local Registers. Action rules can apply many different functions to the Local
Register data, including conditional statements, math operations, copy operations, or trending.
4) To perform scheduled events in Local Registers, go to the Scheduler screen in the DXM Configuration Software. These rules provide
the ability to create register events by days of the week. The scheduler can also create events based on sunrise or sunset.
