2 Brief description
In this chapter, the functions and features of the Ethernet system MSX-E1701 are described in brief.
Furthermore, you will find a general block diagram of the MSX-E system.

2.1 Functions and features

The intelligent Ethernet system MSX-E1701 has four incremental counter inputs or four PWM outputs
as well as 16 digital inputs and outputs, which can be configured as pairs of inputs or outputs.
By means of an external trigger, the inputs and outputs on multiple systems can be updated
simultaneously. The system can be configured over either the integrated web interface or SOAP
commands. These interfaces also enable signal generator data to be accessed.
Over an integrated Ethernet switch, the system can be cascaded with other MSX-E systems. This also
applies to the voltage supply and the trigger/synchro line, which facilitates wiring between the single
systems.
The Ethernet system is mounted in a robust EMC-protected metal housing, which complies with the
degree of protection IP 65. In this way, the Ethernet system is able to cope with daily stresses and
strains such as current peaks, vibrations, dirt or extreme temperatures. Moreover, it can be used in the
extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C and is equipped with numerous
protective circuits. Error diagnoses are quickly identified by means of the "Status" LED display.
The electronics are no longer in the computer itself but in an external housing connected to the
computer via Ethernet. As the Ethernet system is attached in direct vicinity of the signal generator or
actuator, the function of the latter is no longer affected by long cables. The length of the (Ethernet)
connection cable from the Ethernet system to the computer may be up to 150 m. The system must be
supplied with external voltage (24 V).
Features:
•
4 incremental counter inputs (32-bit) or 4 PWM outputs
•
16 digital inputs/outputs, 24 V, can be configured in pairs, LEDs to display level and direction
•
Watchdog for resetting the outputs to "0" (the latter are set to "0" at Power-On)
•
Input/output: can be controlled by means of an external trigger (digital 24 V trigger input)
•
Web interface to configure, control and monitor the digital input/output
•
Data access via SOAP or Modbus (always TCP or UDP)
•
Optical isolation
•
Degree of protection: IP 65
•
Cascadable; synchronisation in the μs range
•
Extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C
