2.5 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.
Refer to the CX23-R and EX23-R User Manual for more information.
NOTE
The CX23-R automatically configures the MX module network address and
checks for firmware updates. If necessary, install new MX firmware before
continuing. When a CX23-R is used in the system, synchronization is always
done via PTPv2.
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.
