To set up a CX23-R controlled system, refer to Connecting MX Modules to a CX23-R. Otherwise, proceed to get started using the following information.
Each MX module has a similar back panel with a power connector, two FireWire connectors, and one Ethernet connector.
To get started, connect a DC voltage source of 10 to 30 volts (24 recommended) to the X104 power supply port using the 1-NTX002 AC/DC power supply unit or the 1-KAB294-5 power supply cable. Connect the host PC to the Ethernet (X100) or FireWire (X101 or X102) ports of the module using the 1-KAB273-5 Ethernet cable or 1-KAB293-5 FireWire cable, respectively.
For more information on connecting the module to a host PC, see Connecting a Single Module to Host PC and Connecting Multiple Modules to Host PC.
NOTE
Older computers require the use of an Ethernet crossover cable. Newer computers have Ethernet interfaces with autocrossing functions.
SomatXR MX modules can be used as standalone devices or in a network for centralized control, data synchronization and shared voltage supply through FireWire. For more information on module networking, see Connecting Multiple Modules to Host PC and Module Synchronization.
Finally, connect the desired sensors. For guidelines on connecting transducers, see Connecting Transducers.
