2 Setting up a system
MX Modules A04089_07_E00_02 HBM: public 23
If using the NTX002 or NTX003 AC/DC Power Supply Units, the system complies
with residential / commercial environments (EN 61326 class B) without any
additional arrangements.
Power via FireWire
If several modules are connected to each other via FireWire for time‐synchronous
data acquisition, the supply voltage can be looped through. The power pack used
must be able to provide the appropriate output. The maximum permissible current on
the FireWire connection cable is 1.5 A. The supply connection must be repeated if
the chain is longer.
CAUTION
For power distribution via FireWire, an external voltage supply with the same
voltage potential is required on every third module.
If several amplifiers are operated non-synchronously, they must be supplied
separately.
CAUTION
It is not possible to install additional modules in the SomatXR system during
operation (no hot-plugging). To add new modules, please disconnect the power
supply from the modules.
Uninterruptible power supply
It is recommended to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in vehicles with
battery operation between the battery and module to compensate for voltage drops
during start procedures. HBM offers the 1-UPX002-2 which can provide
uninterruptible power for SomatXR modules.
To use the UPX002 unit, connect the power supply to the input power connector
using a 1-KAB2115-2 cable. Connect the UPX002 output power cable to the X104
power supply port of the MX module.
For more information on the UPX002 capabilities, refer to the 1-UPX002-2 Data
Sheet.
2.4 Connecting a single module to a host PC
Single Ethernet connection
To connect a module to the host PC via Ethernet, simply connect the matching
Ethernet cable to the X100 port of the module and the Ethernet port of the PC.
