2.1 Connecting MX modules to a CX23-R
A CX23-R module can be used to control and process data from multiple MX
modules to include other transducers such as voltage, current, bridge and
thermocouple. MX modules can be connected directly to the CX23-R module or
through one or more EX23-R Ethernet switches.
Refer to the MX Modules User Manual for more information on using MX modules.
NOTE
The CX23-R automatically configures the MX module network address and
checks for firmware updates. If necessary, install new MX firmware before
continuing. Do not reboot the CX23-R when MX firmware updates are in
progress.
CAUTION
When using FireWire to power MX modules, make sure that all modules have an
Ethernet connection to the CX23-R unit or EX23-R switch. Failure to do so may
cause undetected synchronization errors in all linked MX modules.
Centralized network using direct Ethernet connections
NOTE
The CX23-R AUX PWR connector can power a maximum of two
MX modules.
1. To power the first MX module, connect the CX23-R AUX PWR connector to the
X104 connector on the first MX module using a 1-KAB2110 cable.
CAUTION
Do not exceed 5 A current draw from the CX23-R AUX PWR
connector.
2. To power the second MX module, use a 1-KAB272 cable from the X101 or X102
connector on first MX module to the X101 or X102 connector on the second MX
module.
3. Connect the CX23-R ETHERNET1 and ETHERNET2 connectors to the MX
module X100 connectors using KAB2100 cables. This establishes
communication and synchronization between the CX23-R and MX modules.
