Features
Banner’s TL70 Pro Modbus Modular Tower Light is a 70 mm, modular LED indicator with bright and uniform light. The modularity gives the user flexibility to customize tower lights as needed and change positions in the field. The TL70 is also available preassembled for easy installation.
Modbus control allows access to full color, flashing, and dimming settings, as well as advanced animations and audible tones Up to five indicator segments and one audible segment in one device Rugged, water-resistant IP65 housing with UV-stabilized material Bright, uniform indicator segments appear gray when off to eliminate false indications from ambient light Simple and fast connection with M12 quick-disconnect connector.

Modbus Configuration Instructions
For more information about the TL70 Pro Modbus Modular Tower Light device registers, refer to document PN 243474.
Tower Light Segment Modes
Basic Segment Mode
Use a single run time register per LED segment to set it to Off, On, Flash, or Animation mode. Use a single run time register for an audible segment to set it to Off or On. Use additional configuration registers to change color, intensity, and flash speed, select animation type on LED segments , and change volume and tone on audible segments.
Advanced Segment Mode
Use multiple run time registers per LED segment to control color, intensity, flash, and other animation types. Use multiple run time registers for an audible segment to control sync, volume, and tone settings. Use additional configuration registers to create custom intensity and flash speeds.
LED Segment Control
| Animation | Description |
| Off | Segment is off |
| Steady | Color 1 is solid at a defined intensity |
| Flash | Color 1 flashes at defined speed, color intensity, and pattern |
| Two Color Flash | Color 1 and Color 2 flash alternately at defined speed, color intensities, and pattern |
| 50/50 | Color 1 is displayed on 50% of the segment and Color 2 is displayed on the other 50% of the segment at the defined color intensities |
|
50/50 Rotate |
Color 1 is displayed on 50% of the segment and Color 2 is displayed on the other 50% of the segment while rotating at the defined speed and color intensities |
|
Chase |
Color 1 is displayed as a single spot against the background of Color 2 while rotating at the defined speed, color intensities, and rotational direction |
| Intensity Sweep | Color 1 repeatedly increases and decreases intensity between 0% to 100% at a defined speed and color intensity |
| Demo | The demo sequence cycles through several sets of colors and configurations to highlight example applications |
Audible Segment Control
| Setting | Description |
| Audible State | Sets the segment to off, on, or synced to the flash pattern of the last LED segment |
| Audible Volume | Defines the volume of the audible tone |
| Audible Tone | Defines the audible tone frequency |
