Connecting MXB modules to an EXRCPU/EXRLCPU

An EXRCPU/EXRLCPU can be used to control and process data from multiple MXB modules to include other transducers such as voltage, current, bridge and thermocouple. MX modules can be connected directly to the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU or through one or more EX23-R Ethernet switches.

NOTE
The EXRCPU/EXRLCPU automatically configures the MX module network address and checks for firmware updates. If necessary, install new MX firmware before continuing. Do not reboot the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU when MX firmware updates are in progress. When an EXRCPU/EXRLCPU is used in the system, synchronization is always done via PTPv2.

CAUTION
When using FireWire to power MX modules, make sure that all modules have an Ethernet connection to the EXRCPU/EXRLCPU layer or EX23-R switch. Failure to do so may cause undetected synchronization errors in all linked MX modules.
