Banner Engineering: DXMR190 Top-Exit IO-Link Masters

August 17, 2026
IO-Link and Powerful Edge Processing in a System-Ready Top-Exit Design
Banner’s new DXMR190 Top Exit IO-Link Masters combines the intelligence of a DXM controller with an industry-standard top-exit form factor, making it ideal not just for new systems but also as an easy replacement for existing IO-Link masters without redesigning machine layouts or cabling. OEMs can reduce installation costs by standardizing on one device that provides advanced edge processing, protocol conversion, and cloud connectivity.
Reduce Hardware and Installation Costs
With its IP67-rated housing, the DXMR190 IO-Link masters can be mounted on machines, putting M12 connections close to devices and running data to a PLC via Ethernet, eliminating the need for costly I/O cards. A-code or L-code power ports (depending on model) can pass through power and share it with connected devices. Higher-amp L-code power simplifies cabling and installation by allowing more devices, including other IO-Link masters, to be daisy-chained without injecting extra power via splitters or power drops.
Simplify Machine Connectivity
The DXMR190 simplifies integration into any application, offering flexible I/O configurations on each of its eight ports. Each port can be configured to connect to an IO-Link device or a discrete I/O device. To expand a remote I/O system and add more non-IO-Link devices, simply connect Banner’s IO-Link hubs to further extend the capability of the DXMR190 and manage even more I/O.
Integrate with Ease
Support for multiple protocols delivers the flexibility needed to integrate into different systems. Easily connect to EtherNet/IP, Modbus/TCP, and PROFINET systems. Use as a standalone logic controller and a cost-efficient PLC replacement for simple applications using scripting or DXM action rules. Collect, process, and distribute machine data locally and send it to PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, or the cloud via multiple protocols.
