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.

NOTE
The CX23-R automatically configures the MX module network address and checks for firmware updates. If necessary, install new MX firmware before continuing.

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.
