4.0 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
This operating and installation manual is intended
for use by a competent programmer, electrician,
technician, or engineer. The instructions included in
this manual should be read and kept as a reference
document prior to initial controller installation and
use. Incorrect operation of these controllers can
present a signicant threat to both individuals and
equipment. In the event of an equipment break
down, do not attempt to repair the controller as there
are no user serviceable parts inside the enclosure.
Any evidence of tampering will invalidate the
warranty.
5.0 APPLICATION
This operating and installation manual should be used
in conjunction with the online help provided with the
Pro-FX Control development environment. Together,
this information should form a basis for the simple
conguration of the controller and the creation of
programs specic to your application needs. Proper
operation of the controller is dependent on the
program that is created and ultimately downloaded to
the hardware, therefore extensive testing is required.
Customers programming the controller possess the
responsibility of ensuring that both the hardware
and software performs as intended with their
applications.
Note: That each controller within the HFX product family requires
the installation of hardware-specic rmware, description les
and libraries before initial use in the application environment.
6.0 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The Eaton HFX product line consists of four
controller models (HFX12m, HFX20m, HFX32m,
and HFX48m), each possessing a unique number
of I/O. The HFX12m/HFX20m (pictured below)
and HFX32m/HFX48m (pictured below) both share
common housings.
Each of these units is designed to function over
an extended operating range of supply voltage,
from 6 – 32 VDC.
HFX12m/HFX20m
HFX32m/HFX48m
The three integrated CAN ports on these units
support CAN 2.0B, the rst of which also
possesses a software congurable termination.
Both SAE J1939 and CANOpen stacks are available
in the software development environment.
Additionally, the CANLayer2 software library is
available for use with CAN bus.
HFX controllers are programmed via a standard
USB port. The gateway from a user’s computer
automatically detects the hardware, eliminating the
need to manually assign a COM port to the unit.
The two regulated outputs (sensor supplies) can be
congured individually for either 5 or 10 V operation.
