Fitting the peripheral modules
The central control unit always takes up the outer left position within the CMXR multi-axis
control system. Peripheral modules are arranged to the right of this and connected with
one another via bus plugs. The overall assembly can then be snapped onto an H-rail
(TS 35x7.5) (see section 2.4).
To protect against contamination and damage caused by electrostatic discharge, both
side plates (for bus plug and address switch) must be closed on the last module of one
row.
This is how you assemble the peripheral modules:
1. Switch off the operating and load voltage supplies.
2. Remove the bus plug's right-hand side plate on the device (see Fig.).
3. Carefully insert the peripheral modules until the upper and lower mechanical locking

2.3 Guidelines for the installation
The device is designated for installing into a control cabinet and can be installed horizontally. Take the wiring for the device into consideration prior to assembly. Keep the device
away from cables with high levels of interference. Leave sufficient distance for the wiring
and cooling system.
Mounting dimensions and clearances
A clearance of 30 mm, above and below the modules, must be maintained for the air circulation.
Fig. 2.7 Dimensions and mounting clearances
Festo GDCP-CMXR-HW-EN 0805NH 29
Caution
Damage or malfunctions can occur if the permissible operating
temperature is exceeded
Please observe the following instructions:
Caution
Incorrect fitting causes operative malfunctions
Prior to fitting the device, check whether the peripheral mod-
ules are correctly mounted and all locking clips have snapped
into place.
To safeguard the modules from slipping or shaking loose due to
vibrations: Attach an end support on the H-rail, both to the left
and right side.
Air-conditioning and venting
The upper and lower sides of the module are equipped with ventilation slots for heat dissipation. When the permissible ambient temperature is maintained there is no need of an
external ventilator. It is, however, absolutely vital that the ventilation slots are kept clear.
Do not mount the device directly above a source of heat, e.g. a heating appliance,
a current transformer or a high-wattage resistor.
To make sure heat dissipation can be ensured, maintain a clearance, above and below
the modules, of at least 30 mm.
Make sure that the operating temperature within the control cabinet is not higher than
the modules' permissible ambient temperature. Air conditioning has to be provided for
the control cabinet if sufficient cooling can not be guaranteed by natural heat dissipation.
When deciding on the configuration in the control cabinet, make certain that the area
around the ventilation slots is not subjected to temperature fluctuations. For example,
do not use air-conditioning units with intermittent operation.
Additional information on calculating the total heat dissipation loss in the control cabinet
can be found in the chapter Power consumption of the modules (see section A.3).
Using air filters
Avoid using contaminated air filters. Clean the air filter regularly.
Recommendation: Install the device into a dust-free, closed control cabinet. If the control
cabinet has vents, these must be equipped with air filters. Make sure that the filter elements are cleaned or exchanged at regular intervals.

Wiring instructions for analogue cables
- The screened rail must be connected to the GND terminal.
- Cables must be screened (screening connection to GND potential at both ends).
- To achieve the best possible resistance to interference, the analogue cables should
not be laid parallel to high-interference cables (e.g. cables from converters to motors).
The screen is used only to screen electrically low-frequency 50 Hz fields and is not an HF
screen. The type of shield support is, therefore, not quite as important as it is for highspeed data interfaces.

A.3 Power consumption of components and modules
For its own requirements, the central module needs 8 W. The central module provides 7 W
for supplying the peripheral and optional modules. You can calculate the total power consumption of all assembled modules by adding up the power consumption of all the single
modules.
The following table shows the power consumption of the modules:
Table 6.3 Power consumption of optional and peripheral modules
Calculation example: Power consumption of peripheral and optional modules
1 x CECX-C-ET: 0.5 W
1 x CECX-D-8E8A-NP-2: 0.4 W
2 x CECX-D-16E 0.8 W
Total: 1.7 W
The complete device (incl. central control unit) would have a power consumption of
8 W + 1.7 W = 9.7 W

From the very outset, please make sure the wiring and screening is
carried out with care, and in accordance with the guidelines described.
A.4 Instructions on EMC-compliant wiring
The resistance to interference of an electrical system depends significantly on EMCcompliant wiring and screening. Service practice shows that inadequate wiring and
screening of system components is frequently the cause of system faults and failures.
Basic structure of EMC measures
The EMC concept for the device is aimed at making sure that every module can individually resist the effects prevalent in an industrial environment where electromagnetic interference is present. This is based on the screen housing being closed. This screen housing
is suitably expanded by means of screened interfaces or, with unscreened interfaces, the
opened up screen housing is "closed" again by means of filters.
The relevant connections are provided on the modules for screened interfaces. It is, therefore, not necessary to connect these cable screens to the system via additional screening
clamps.
Unscreened interfaces are filtered at their connecting points in accordance with their required signal. It is, therefore, not necessary to additionally filter these wires.
Which EMC measures must be met?
EMC measures concentrate on the areas:
- Screening
- Potential equalisation between system components
Important here is the faultless execution, in practice, of the measures described in the
following sections. The most frequent causes of failure are poor contacts in earthing and
screening connections. This is why the following general points in particular need pointing
out.
Contacting of earthing and screening connections
- Low-impedance connection for the parts. This means highly conductive (for high fre-
quencies, too) and is achieved by: large surface area connections, short earthing wires
(where possible), use of wide earthing straps instead of wires, if possible.
- Planiform contact of bare metal is required.
- Contact surfaces must be protected against corrosion.
- Use toothed discs when connecting painted parts or parts with an unclean surface;
where possible, on all connecting points.
Just earthing an electrical system is an insufficient EMC measure and is mainly used for
protection against electric shock if conductive parts are touched.

A.4. Instructions on EMC-compliant wiring
Check list for EMC measures
Screened communication wires (CAN, Ethernet, USB, ... ):
- Is the screen connected flush with the metallic plug at both cable ends?
- Is the screen continuously present (beware of wall bushing)?
- Is the used communication partner suitable for an industrial interference environment?
Analogue cables
- Twisted pair cables used?
- Is cable screening connected to the 0 V terminal in the analogue module via cable, to
screen 50 Hz fields?
Fundamentally, for all of the device's interfaces, you do not have to observe any type of
special wiring.
