NOTE
Older computers require the use of an Ethernet crossover cable. Newer
computers have Ethernet interfaces with autocrossing functions.
SomatXR MX modules can be used as standalone devices or in a network for
centralized control, data synchronization and shared voltage supply through
FireWire. For more information on module networking, see
modules to host PC
Finally, connect the desired sensors. For guidelines on connecting transducers, see
Connecting transducers.

2.2 Power considerations

CAUTION
Defects in the module cannot be excluded if a supply voltage greater than 30 V is
used. If the supply voltage drops below 10 V, the module switches off.
Electromagnetic conformity
The SomatXR series and its modules are intended for use in an industrial
environment. When used in residential or commercial environments, additional
arrangements may be required to limit electromagnetic emissions.
For example, in the case of voltage supply by battery, wrap the power supply cable
(1-KAB294-5) around the included inductive coil four times as pictured below.
NOTE
This applies to MX modules only and not to the supply of CX23-R or EX23-R
modules.
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
