1 Safety instructions
Intended use
The module and the measurement modules and transducers connected to it
must only be used for measurements and directly related control and regulation
tasks. Any other use is not the intended use.
In the interests of safety, the module must only be used as described in the
operating manual. When the module is in use, it is essential to comply with the
applicable legal and safety requirements for the relevant application. The same
applies to the use of accessories.
Before starting up the module for the first time, you must first run a project
planning and risk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of auto
mation 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. If an error occurs,
these precautions will ensure that safe operating conditions have been estab
lished.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, fault messages,
limit value switches, etc.

Safety instructions
CX27C A02720_04_X00_00 HBM: public 5
Safety requirements
A module must not be directly connected to a power supply system. The
maximum allowed supply voltage is DC 10 to 30V.
The supply voltage connection as well as the signal and sense leads must be
installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely
affect device functionality. (HBM recommendation: "Greenline shielding
design", can be downloaded from http://www.hbm.com/Greenline).
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (e.g.
access checks, password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in
such a way that interference in individual nodes can be detected and the nodes
can be shut down.
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.
Conditions on site
For modules with equipment protection level IP20:
SProtect the modules from moisture and dampness or weather such as rain,
snow, etc.
SThe allowed relative humidity at 31°C is 80% (non condensing); linear
reduction up to 50% at 40°C.
SMake sure that the side ventilation openings are not covered.
For all modules:
SDo not expose the measuring instrument to direct sunlight.
SPlease observe the maximum allowed ambient temperatures stated in the
specifications.

Safety instructions
6A02720_04_X00_00 HBM: public CX27C
Maintenance and cleaning
The modules are maintenance-free. Note the following points when cleaning
the housing:
SBefore cleaning, disconnect the module from all connections.
SClean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!) cloth. You should
never use solvents, since they could damage the label on the front panel
and damage the display.
SWhen cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the module or connections.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety instructions
The module is a state of the art device and as such is failsafe. The module
may give rise to residual dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated
by untrained personnel. Any person instructed to carry out installation, start-up,
maintenance or repair of the module must have read and understood the oper
ating manual and in particular the technical safety instructions.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the module covers only a small area
of measurement technology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the safety engineering con
siderations of measurement technology in such a way as to minimize residual
dangers. On-site regulations must be complied with at all times. There must be
reference to the residual dangers connected with measurement technology.
After making settings and carrying out activities that are password-protected,
you must make sure that any controls that may be connected remain in safe
condition until the switching performance of the module has been tested.
Working safely
Error messages should not be confirmed until after the cause of the error is
removed and there is no further danger.

4 General
The CX27 QuantumX module is a so-called gateway. A gateway is used so
that networks based on completely different protocols can communicate with
each other.
Thus the main task of the CX27 Ethernet/EtherCAT gateway is to receive and
forward data from the modules connected via FireWire.

Data is transmitted via the FireWire connections and the module is synchro
nized for time and supplied with the optimum voltage. Data transmission is
asynchronous (all nodes) or isochronous (to a specific node, e.g. CX27).
You can connect a total of twelve modules with each other in series via
FireWire.
The connection to the modules can be designed either with suitable FireWire
connection cables (1‐KAB272‐x) or via the BPX backplane. The backplane
connects up to five (BPX003) or nine (BPX001) modules with each other with

Fig. 4.2 CX27 connection via the BPX001 backplane
The CX27 Gateway has two Ethernet interfaces and one fieldbus interface (IN/
OUT) for a network connection. The Ethernet interfaces on the front and back
of the module are equivalent, and are implemented as RJ45 sockets.
The Ethernet interface on the front of the module is intended for measuring and
maintenance purposes and is ideally suited for use of the module in a
backplane.
The Ethernet interface on the back of the module can be used decentrally in
distributed operation.
Measurement tasks: central interface for all connected modules and their mea
sured values.
Maintenance tasks: central interface for all connected modules for diagnosis or
updates.

5 Configuration
5.1 Adjustment of the Industrial Ethernet mode
When connecting the QuantumX to an industrial fieldbus, the CX27 platform
uses an adjustable protocol stack with the following options: PROFINET IRT,
EtherCAT, and others.
Starting with firmware version 4.32, CX27C supports EtherCAT and
PROFINET Device IRT.
At delivery, the EtherCAT fieldbus mode is already preset. You can change
modes using the MX Assistant:
1. Connect your PC to the CX27C gateway via an Ethernet cable.
2. Supply voltage to the CX27C.
3. Start the MX Assistant, scan for modules and connect the MX Assistant
with CX27C.
4. You can pull up the fieldbus mode menu by right-clicking on the CX27C
(see Fig. 5.1). There you can choose between EtherCAT and PROFINET
(see Fig. 5.2).
5. Restart the gateway in order to activate the selected mode.

5.2 Adjustment of isochronous data transmission
You must first configure the relevant module channels for isochronous data
transmission with the MX Assistant ("Signals" tab) and via Ethernet TCP/IP:
1. Connect your modules in the deactivated state to the CX27 gateway via
FireWire cable 1-KAB272 (from connection X102 to X101, etc.), or use an
active backplane (BPX) for the connection.
2. Connect your PC to the CX27 gateway via an Ethernet cable.

Configuration

6.1 Configuration of the EtherCAT slave
Incorporating it into an EtherCAT network involves the following essential
steps:
1. One-time setup of isochronous data traffic using the MX Assistant
2. Adjustment and configuration of the individual channels using the EtherCAT
master or XML file (*.esi)
- Channel configuration (service data objects, SDO)
- Process data allocation (process data object, PDO)
Various different masters are available for EtherCAT integration, all of which
are configured using the corresponding software tools (e.g. König PA KPA
EtherCAT Studio, Beckhoff TwinCAT).
As an alternative, you can use MX Assistant to create an XML file or utilize the
included standard files for configuration (system DVD or website). The XML file
is the electronic data sheet for the connected EtherCAT slave and therefore
varies for each device. It is also referred to as EtherCAT Slave Information
(*.esi). This *.esi must then be conveyed to the EtherCAT master by copying it
into the corresponding file path (e.g. C:\TwinCAT\Io\EtherCAT).
Information
All EtherCAT masters can manage only one CX27-XML data set.
