Safety instructions
Appropriate use
The module and the connected transducers may be used for measurement and
directly related control tasks only. Any other use is not appropriate.
To ensure safe operation, the module may only be used as specified in the operating
manual. It is also essential to follow the respective legal and safety regulations for
the application concerned during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.
Each time, before starting up the modules, 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 establish safe operating conditions.
This can be done, for example, by mechanical interlocking, error signaling, limit value
switches and such.
Safety rules
A module must not be connected directly to a power supply network. The maximum
permissible supply voltage is:
CX23-R modules 10 VDC ... 30 VDC
EX23-R module 10 VDC ... 36 VDC
MX modules 10 VDC ... 30 VDC
UPX modules (1-UPX001-2 or 1-UPX002-2) 10 VDC ... 30 VDC
CX22B(-R) modules 10 VDC ... 30 VDC
The supply 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," downloadable
from the Internet at www.hbm.com.)
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (such as
access checks, password protection, etc.).
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.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so that a
line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via the bus
interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation device.

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 further dangers if it is inappropriately installed and operated by untrained
personnel. Any person instructed to carry out installation, commissioning,
maintenance or repair of the module must have read and understood the User
Manuals and in particular the technical safety instructions.
Remaining 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 considerations of
measurement technology in such a way as to minimize remaining dangers.
Prevailing regulations must be complied with at all times. There must be reference to
the remaining 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.
Product liability
In the following cases, the protection provided for the device may be adversely
affected. Liability for device functionality then passes to the operator:
 The device is not used in accordance with the operating manual.
 The device is used outside the field of application described in this chapter.
 The operator makes unauthorized changes to the device.

1.2 CX23-R data processor
The CX23-R data processor is the central module of the rugged SomatXR family. It
synchronizes all connected modules with Ethernet PTPv2, stores recorded
measurement data and provides computed channels and smart data compression
using Somat DataModes™. The SIE file format is used to assure data integrity and
to enable configuration parameters to be retrieved. In addition, the CX23-R provides
direct data sourcing for six interfaces including one DIO, three CAN, one GPS and
one AUX.
The CX23-R back panel includes the input power and AUX power ports, power
switch, status LEDs and Ethernet communication ports. The front panel includes the
connectors for DIO, GPS, AUX and CAN data inputs.
The CX23-R/eDAQXR hosts its own secure web interface for intuitive and easy to
use test setup, control, monitoring and data visualization interfaces. This server-
based interface supports multiple users and the capability to define system access
restrictions on a per user basis.
