MX Modules

The SomatXR MX modules are front end data sourcing modules that can be used as expansion modules with the CX23-R Data Processor. They are configurable to interface to a diverse range of transducers and sensors. Generic features for most MX modules include precision measurement capabilities using 24 bit ADCs, TEDS sensor support and multiple digital filtering options.

All SomatXR MX modules can also be combined with MX modules of the QuantumX (MX...) and QuantumX‑P (MX...‑P) series and can be connected to the CX22‑W data recorder and the CX27 Ethernet and EtherCAT gateway. For more information on using MX modules in a standalone system with the catmanAP and MX Assistant software applications, refer to the MX Modules User Manual.

The connection interfaces on the rear are identical to Ethernet and FireWire. The MX modules of the SomatXR series offer additional functions. In principle, they can be synchronized using the Ethernet‑based PTPv2 protocol (IEEE1588). Furthermore, decimal data rates are available in addition to the "Classic HBM Data Rates".

Each MX module has a similar back panel with a power connector, two FireWire connectors, and one Ethernet connector.

MX modules can be connected to a CX23-R module directly or through one or more EX23-R Ethernet switches. For more information on setting up a system with MX modules, see Connecting MX Modules to a CX23-R.
