Safety instructions
1 Safety instructions
Appropriate use
The QuantumX Data Recorder is 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 oper
ated as described in the Operating Manuals. It is also es
sential to comply with the legal and safety requirements for
the application concerned during use. The same applies to
the use of accessories.
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 par
ticularly 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, forexample, by mechanical
interlocking, error signaling, etc.
4 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W
Safety instructions
Notice
The module must not be connected directly to the power
supply system. Supply voltage DC 10 V … 30 V.
When modules are installed in a vehicle, we recommend
connection to a separate battery or integration of an unin
terruptible power supply (UPS), as battery voltage is par
ticularly likely to fall below 10 V when a combustion en
gine starts up, which would automatically cause the
modules to restart.
General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions
The QuantumX Data Recorder is state-of-the-art and fail
safe. The module may give rise to residual dangers if it is
inappropriately installed and operated by untrained
personnel.

2000 m.
Maintenance and cleaning
The modules are maintenance-free.
S Before cleaning, disconnect all connections.
S Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!)
cloth. Never use solvent, as this could damage the
label or the housing.
S When cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the
module or connections.
Residual dangers
The scope of supply and performance of the QuantumX
system covers only a small area of measurement tech
nology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the
safety engineering considerations of measurement tech
nology in such a way as to minimize residual dangers.
On-site regulations must be complied with at all times.
Product liability
In the following cases, the protection provided for the de
vice may be adversely affected. Liability for device func
tionality then passes to the operator:
S The device is not used in accordance with the operat
ing manual.
6 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

S The device is used outside the field of application
described in this chapter.
S The operator makes unauthorized changes to the de
vice.
Working safely
A device must not be directly connected to the power
supply system. Supply voltage DC 10 V … 30 V.
The supply connection and all other connections must be
installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference
does not adversely affect device functionality (HBM rec
ommendation: "Greenline shielding design", download
able from the Internet at http://www.hbm.com/greenline).
Automation equipment and modules must be designed in
such a way that adequate protection or locking against
unintentional actuation is provided (e.g. access checks,
password protection, etc.).
When the modules are working in a network, these net
works 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 hard
ware and software, so that a line break or other interrup
tions to signal transmission, e.g. via the bus
interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data
in the automation device.

4.1 Voltage supply
Apply a supply voltage of DC 10 - 30 V to connector
X104 (see Fig. 5.1). Use a voltage supply with sufficient
power, in case the QuantumX modules connected to the
CX22B‒W or devices such as GPS sensors, cameras or
data memory directly connected to the unit also need to
be supplied with power.
The DC voltage supply must be a SELV voltage supply,
meeting the requirements of IEC / EN / DIN EN 609501.
The supply voltage must be protected by an adequate
DC fuse (e.g. LITTELFUSE KLKD 6, LFPHV001) with a
maximum current of 5 A.
Notice
When modules are installed in a vehicle, we recommend
connection to a separate battery or integration of an unin
terruptible power supply (UPS), as battery voltage is par
ticularly likely to fall below 10 V when a combustion en
gine starts up, which would automatically cause the
modules to restart.
HBM offers the NTX001 power supply for laboratory or
general steady-state operation. On the primary side, this
provides a selection of international connector types and
24 V and 30 watts on the secondary side. A CX22B‒W
and one additional module can be supplied in this way.
See the respective module data sheets for precise details
of performance.
The Data Recorder can also be supplied with voltage by
a (FireWire) module group.
CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 17
Connections and displays
The data recorder hosts a small buffer battery (type
CR2032, lithium). This battery keeps date and time
during power interruptions. The battery shall only be
replaced by HBM service.
4.2 Ground connection and grounding
Lay the signal and data leads separately from currentcarrying power lines. Cable ducts made of sheet metal
with an internal partition are ideal.
If there are differences in potential in or to the connected
measurement system, you must install a potential equal
ization line (recommended value: highly flexible stranded
wire, line cross-section 10mm2).
Important
4.3 Connection of QuantumX modules
The simplest way to connect measurement modules to
the CX22B‒W Data Recorder is via FireWire, or alterna
tively via Ethernet.
FireWire has the following advantages:
S Voltage supply, time synchronization, data communi
cation and real time in one cable and thus little effort
and low cost
S Every module has 2 FireWire connections, so flexible
topologies are possible: star, line or even hybrids with
an appropriate hub, also supplied with power via
FireWire.
Ethernet has the following advantages
18 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

4.8 Digital inputs and outputs
Three inputs are available at terminals 1, 2 and 3 and
three outputs at terminals 4, 5 and 6. The status of the
outputs is indicated by LEDs, see Section 4.10.4.10.
Inputs
The level for the inputs is 5 volts in the open state
(HIGH), as it is pulled up to HIGH by a pull-up resistor
(active LOW). The maximum LOW level for the inputs is
0.7 volts.
Outputs
The level for the outputs is 5 volts (HIGH), when the cor
responding output is set, otherwise 0 volts (LOW). The
inputs and outputs are TTL-compatible, the line lengths
at the outputs must not exceed 3 m.
Tip
At the start of a DAQ job, outputs are reset to LOW if in
catman[EASY, in the options for the CX22B‒W (system
group), you activate the setting Reset all CX22B‒W
digital outputs at the start of a DAQ job.
4.9 START/STOP button
You can start and/or stop a DAQ job with the START/
STOP button. To do this, use a trigger for starting and/or
stopping the DAQ job and assign CX22B‒W digital in
put 3 - START/STOP button as the trigger channel.
CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 21
Connections and displays
If you control the start and stop of the DAQ job via the
button, the DAQ job is started with the first press and
stopped with the next press of the button.
The START/STOP button is switched parallel to the input
on terminal 3. If you want to use the button, do not con
nect input 3. Otherwise the "Active" (LOW) state will be

Connecting QuantumX modules
5 Connecting QuantumX modules
The simplest way to connect QuantumX modules to the
Data Recorder is via FireWire. Connect cable
1-KAB272-x to any of the Data Recorder's connections
and the other end to connection X102 of the nearest
measurement module.
Then keep threading: connection X102 to X101 of the
second measurement module, etc. Remember the maxi
mum current of 1.5 A. As a rule, you must introduce a
voltage supply again after 3 modules. You can also con
nect measurement modules at the other connection.
Alternatively, you can connect all the QuantumX modules
to the CX22B‒W via Ethernet. If you have more than two
modules, you will also require an Ethernet switch.
In the configuration shown below, the module supply volt
age is looped through via FireWire (max. 1.5 A via
FireWire). The power consumption of a module is ex
plained in the data sheet.
You can connect up to 12 modules to the CX22B‒W
Data Recorder via FireWire, with a supply feed required
for at least every 4th module, with approximately the
same voltage value. The general QuantumX operating
manual contains more detailed data on this.
