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.
CAUTION
