CBX Electrical Connections
All Matrix 300N Standard Input Power models can be connected to a CBX 
connection box through one of the available CAB-DSxx-S accessory cables. 
These accessory cables terminate in an M12 17-pin connector on the Matrix 
300N side and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the CBX side.
We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection 
boxe
s since they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device 
replacement, opto-isolated outputs (Outputs 1 and 2), and filtered reference 
signals.
NOTE
The table below gives the pinout of the CBX100/500 terminal block connectors. 
Use this pinout when the Matrix 300N reader is connected by means of the 
CBX100/500:
If you require direct wiring to the reader the connections are the same as shown in 
this chapter with the exception of the digital Outputs. Direct wiring details are indi-
cated in 
Appendix A.
