Safety instructions
Appropriate use
The QuantumX data recorders CX22 and CX22‐W (with WLAN) are to be
used exclusively for measurement tasks and directly related control tasks
within the application limits detailed in the specifications. Use for any purpose
other than the above is deemed to be non‐designated use.
In the interests of safety, the module should only be operated as described in
the Operating Manuals. It is also essential to comply with the legal and safety
requirements for the application concerned during use. The same applies to
the use of accessories.
The module is only to be installed and used by qualified personnel, strictly in
accordance with the specifications and the safety rules and regulations.
Each time you start up the module, you must first run a project planning and
risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of automation
technology. This particularly concerns personal and machine protection.
Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants where malfunctions
could cause major damage, loss of data or even personal injury. In the event
of a fault, these precautions must establish safe operating conditions. This
can be done,for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling, etc.
NOTE
The module must not be connected directly to the power supply system.
Supply voltage 10 V ... 30 V (DC).
The supply connection and all other connections must be installed in such a
way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely affect device
functionality (see also HBM Greenline Information, brochure i1577).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in
such a way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut
down.
Automation equipment and devices must be designed in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (e.g.
access checks, password protection, etc.).
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so
that a line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, e.g. via the bus
interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation
device. After making settings and carrying out activities that are
password‐protected, you must make sure that any controls that may be

4 Changing the CompactFlash card
Important
CompactFlash cards (CF cards) only have a limited number of write cycles,
i.e., they age (typically 1,000,000 write cycles). You should therefore check
the CF card regularly for errors in Windows and replace with a new card if
required. The life of a CF card depends on the demand made on it, and the
manufacturer.
Make sure that you use an up‐to‐date, high‐quality type 1 CF card, CF version
4.1, of at least 8GBytes, in order to achieve a high data transfer rate; older
CF cards usually have lower data transfer rates. The card must be formatted
with the NTFS file system before insertion.
The scope of supply for the CX22‐W data recorder includes a CF card of
8GBytes, although cards of up to 128GBytes can also be used.
Formatting the card
The CF card must be formatted with the NTFS file system. You can carry out
this formatting with any PC that has a CF card slot or a CF card adapter and
uses Windows XP or higher. Right‐click on the drive and select Format from
the context menu.
Converting to NTFS
If formatting with NTFS is not available on your computer, use the
“convert.exe" program. Insert a card formatted e.g. with FAT32 into the
CX22‐W and use the Windows Start menu to call up the command prompt:
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt (also see Chapter 8 on
Page 38, Exit to Windows). Then enter convert.exe E: /FS:NTFS, to convert
drive E: to an NTFS data medium. The progress is shown in the window.
When “Conversion complete" appears, the data medium is then formatted
with NTFS.
4.1 Procedure for removing the CF card
NOTE
Do not replace the CF card when the CX22‐W is switched on.
Otherwise the CX22‐W or the CF card could be damaged or, if measurement
data are being recorded, this could cause all the data of the test to be lost.
Switch the CX22‐W off before replacing the CF card.

QuantumX Data Recorder CX22‐W
14
A3169-2.0 en/deHBM
1. Undo the retaining screw for the CF card (Fig. 3.2 on Page11). The screw
must not be removed, it should just be loosened.
2. Swivel the cover plate upwards to expose the slot for the CF card.
3. Use a blunt object, e.g. a ball‐point pen, to press the ejection button on the
right in the CF card slot (Fig. 3.2).
4. Remove the CF card.
5. Read Section 4.2, this describes the insertion of the CF card. The CX22‐W
should not be operated without a CF card, as no data can be stored.
4.2 Procedure for inserting the CF card
NOTE
Switch the CX22‐W off before replacing the CF card. Otherwise the CX22‐W
or the CF card could be damaged or, if measurement data are being recorded,
this could cause all the data of the test to be lost.
1. If this has not already been done, undo the retaining screw for the CF card
(Fig. 3.2 on Page11) and swivel the cover plate upwards. The screw must
not be removed, it should just be loosened.
2. Hold the CF card with the top facing upwards.
3. Slide the CF card into the slot until you feel a slight resistance at the end
when the contacts slide into the internal contact strip. The CF card must
disappear completely inside the slot.
4. Swivel the cover plate down until it engages in the protective casing
recess and the slot is covered.
5. Tighten the retaining screw by hand.
Important
The factory setting is for the “Data" directory to be created on the CF card and
enabled in the network as “External CF‐Card data". Some default catman[
AP
directories are also set up to this directory.
So the directory should also be created on a new CF card. Enabling is not
necessary for working with catman[
AP.

5 Connecting the CX22‐W data recorder
Apply a supply voltage of 10V 30V (DC) to the X103 connection (see
Fig. 5.1). Use a supply voltage with sufficient power if any QuantumX modules
connected to the CX22‐W also need to be supplied. The NTX001 power
packs available from HBM can supply a CX22‐W and two further modules.
Set up the connection to a PC first, before connecting the QuantumX
modules. Implement the CX22‐W configuration either directly at the CX22‐W
data recorder (Section 5.1) or via a remote desktop connection from your PC
(Section 5.2 and Chapter 6). Then connect your QuantumX modules to the
CX22‐W data recorder via FireWall, for example, see Section 5.3.
5.1 Operation with monitor and keyboard/mouse
This type of operation is the simplest. It does not require any configuration,
but you will need a monitor with digital input (DVI) and a mouse and keyboard
with USB connection.
Connect the mouse and keyboard to the USB sockets of the CX22‐W. The
monitor is connected by a commercial DVI monitor cable to the DVI socket
(see Fig. 3.1 on Page 11 for all connections). Connection via VGA is not
possible, not even with a DVI/VGA adapter plug, as the leads required for
VGA are not assigned.
Switch on the power supply and wait until the boot process is complete and
the module is ready.
Important
The CX22‐W factory setting for the input language (keyboard layout) is EN
(English). If you connect a keyboard with a different layout, you should select
Exit to Windows on the start screen and press Alt, or change the input
language via the language bar in the task bar.
If necessary, use the Windows control panel (“Regional and Language
Options") to set the (Location) to your country. The setting influences, the
digit settings and the time, for example.
Make other settings via the start screen (CX22 Start screen), see Chapter 8.
Tip
See also Chapter 10,
Configuring the CX22‐W for self‐contained measurements, from Page 45.

A3169-2.0 en/deHBM
5.2 Connecting to a PC
In this case, the CX22‐W data recorder is connected to the PC via Ethernet.
There are different variants, depending on your PC/network configuration, and
the connection procedure depends on the variant:
1. CX22‐W and PC are connected directly via an Ethernet cable.
For a detailed description, see Section 6.1, Page 20.
2. The CX22‐W data recorder is connected with an Ethernet network
(generally automatic assignment of network configuration via DHCP,
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
For a detailed description, see Section 6.2, Page 22.
3. The CX22‐W data recorder is connected via WLAN (CX22‐W only).
For a detailed description, see Section 6.3, Page 24.
The initial configuration of a CX22‐W with WLAN must be implemented either
with monitor and keyboard (see Section 5.1) or via a connection with Ethernet
cable. You can then also activate the WLAN interface during this configuration
and enter the parameters for a WLAN connection.
Important
Wait approx. 1 minute after switching on the CX22‐W before setting up a
connection, so that the boot process is complete and the module is ready.
Otherwise you may receive an error message that the device could not be
found.
To facilitate setting up a CX22‐W connection with unknown settings, you can
use the HBM program “QuantumX Data Recorder Assistant". The settings
required are described in Chapter 6.1 from Page 20.
If you do not want to use the program, you can also set up a direct remote
desktop connection (default program of the Windows operating system), see
Chapter 6.4 from Page 31. In Windows 7, the remote desktop connection
program is found under All programs -> Accessories (Windows XP:
Programs -> Accessories).

A3169-2.0 en/de HBM
5.3 Connecting QuantumX modules
Important
If you are already using QuantumX modules and want to connect them with a
CX22‐W data recorder, install the latest module firmware. If you want to add
new modules at a later date, please install the latest software on the CX22‐W
using the Recovery function, see Section 12.2 on Page 51. The latest
software is always installed during recovery. So after starting catmanAP, you
may be prompted to update the firmware of older QuantumX modules.
QuantumX modules are connected to the CX22‐W data recorder via FireWire
in the same way as is the case with other QuantumX modules: e.g.
1-KAB269-x, connecting X100 of CX22‐W to X101 on the first module, this
module with connection X102 to X101 on the next module, etc. Alternatively,
you can connect all the QuantumX modules to the CX22‐W via Ethernet. If
you have more than one module, you will also require an Ethernet switch.
In the configuration shown below, the supply voltage of the modules is looped
through FireWire (maximum 1.5 A via FireWire; power consumption for a
module or the CX22‐W, see the Specifications section in the data sheet).
You can connect up to 12 modules to the CX22‐W data recorder via FireWire,
supply feed required for every 4 modules. The QuantumX operating manual
contains more detailed data on this.

6 Connecting a PC with the CX22‐W data recorder
The sections below describe using the “QuantumX Data Recorder Assistant"
program supplied by HBM to set up a connection between a PC and CX22 :
Section 6.1 describes setting up a direct connection.
Section 6.2 describes connection via a network.
Section 6.3 describes setting up a connection via WLAN.
Important
If you have an older version of the CX22‐W (up to firmware version 3.2.1), you
must either call up the current version of the “QuantumX Data Recorder
Assistant" program with the “legacy”starting parameter, or launch the program
via the “CX22‐3.2.1‐compatible mode" entry in the Windows Start menu.
Otherwise the CX22 will not be found, as older versions of the program use a
different multicast address (224.0.0.43, now 224.0.0.1).
You can also set up a direct connection via remote desktop (the program is a
component of the Windows operating system), if you know the IP address of
the CX22‐W, or if the factory settings are still available. Read about this in
Section 6.4, from Page 31.
If the connection to the CX22‐W data recorder is not being set up with a
device running the Windows operating system, read Chapter 7 on Page 37
before you start.
