Connecting MX Modules

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 updates the MX module firmware, if necessary.

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.

  1. To power the second MX module, use a 1-KAB271 cable from the X101 or X102 connector on first MX module to the X101 or X102 connector on the second MX module.
  2. 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.
