S The device is not used in accordance with the operat
ing manual.
S The device is used outside the field of application
described in this chapter.
S The operator makes unauthorized changes to the
device.
Working safely
► When the module is unpacked, check it for visible
signs of damage. If damge has occurred, the module
must not be operated.
Error messages should only be acknowledged once the
cause of the error is removed and no further danger
exists.
When modules are in operation, the following measures
need to be taken to reduce the risk of incineration at sur
faces:
- Operating personnel must be advised of the possi
bility of incinerations when touching the surface of
the module.
- Operating personnel must be instructed to touch
the surface of the module only with appropriate pro
tective equipment (adequate protective gloves).
The equipment complies with the EMC standards of EN
61326-1 / EN 61326-2-x. These standards define emis
sion limits and immunity requirements for multiple envi
ronments.
With respect to emissions, the standards contain limits
for industrial (class A) and residential / commercial (class
B) environments. The standard herein references CISPR
11:2009+A1:2010.
CX22B-R A4722-1.0 HBM: public 9
Safety instructions
With respect to immunity, the standards contain limits for
electromagnetically protected (lowest requirements), gen
eral and industrial (highest requirements) environments.
The SomatXR modules listed in the declaration of con
formity conform to the requirements for:
- Emissions: Class A
- Immunity: Industrial
The SomatXR series and its modules are intended for
use in an industrial environment. When used in residen
tial or commercial environments, additional arrangements
may be required to limit electromagnetic emissions.
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense
leads, must be installed in such a way that electromag
netic interference does not adversely affect device func
tionality. (HBM recommendation: "Greenline shielding
design," downloadable from the Internet at

The measurement module and devices used in automa
tion equipment must be covered over in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actu
ation is provided (e.g. access checks, password protec
tion, etc.).
For those measurement modules operating in networks,
safety precautions must be taken in terms of both hard
ware and software, so that a line break or other interrup
tions to signal transmission do not cause undefined
stated or loss of data in the autmation device.
After making settings and carrying out activities that are
password-protected, ensure that any controls that may
be connected remain in a safe condition until the switch
ing performance of the module has been tested.

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 MX modules connected to the
CX22B‒R 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.
CX22B-R has a integrated uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) to buffer short voltage drops. It also allows a regu
lar storing of the measurement data respectively a proper
shut-down of the module.
When running on the UPS, no power will be provided to
MX modules connected via FireWire. If needed, the con
nected MX modules need a separate UPS for buffering.
Details about the UPS and its settings can be found in
chapter 6.6.
HBM offers the NTX002 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‒R
and one additional MX 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-R A4722-1.0 HBM: public 19
Connections and displays
The data recorder hosts a small buffer battery. 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).
4.3 Connection of MX modules
Important
The simplest way to connect measurement modules to
the CX22B‒R 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
20 A4722-1.0 HBM: public CX22B-R
Connections and displays
S The components used are readily available on the
market
S Up to 100 m line lengths to the module
S Synchronization via NTP or PTPv2 (IEEE1588:2008)
when using an appropriate switch (e.g. EX23-R)
S Wireless connection of modules via WLAN
4.4 Communication with the Data Recorder
You can work with the Data Recorder in the following
way:
S Directly connected peripherals
- Monitor or touchscreen (DVI)
- Mouse and keyboard to USB
S Access via a PC or tablet by means of a "remote
desktop connection" (standard in Windows)
- Direct connection via an Ethernet patch cable
- Wireless connection (WLAN)
- In a network (LAN)
- Remote access via an Internet connection and a

sors via USB.
Notice
If you have to install device drivers, please note Section
12.4.
4.6 Digital inputs and outputs
Three inputs and three outputs are available at connector
X6 (ODU 14 pin). The inputs and outputs are TTL-com
patible (-0.5 to 5.5V).
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 is 0.7 volts and
the minimum HIGH level is 4 volts.
Outputs
The level for the outputs is 5 volts (HIGH), when the cor
responding output is set, otherwise 0 volts (LOW). The
line lengths at the outputs must not exceed 3 m. Maxi
mum output current is 1 mA.

The module LED (see Fig. 4.1 on Page 18) lights up
green when the CX22B‒R power supply is present. The
module requires approx. 1 minute after switch-on before
the boot process is complete.
Status LEDs for the operating status
The "RUN" LED
shows continuously yellow when measurement data
are being recorded. If a start trigger was set, the LED
flashes yellow while waiting for the trigger event.
The "ERROR" LED
lights up red if the software detects an error, e.g.
when no connection could be set up to the devices at
the start of the project. The LED flashes if the avail
able free memory drops below 1 GByte.
All Status LEDs can also be triggered via Limit values
and events in catman EASY. To do this select Set dig

CX22B-R A4722-1.0 HBM: public 25
Connecting measurement modules
5 Connecting measurement modules
The simplest way to connect SomatXR or QuantumX
modules to the Data Recorder is via FireWire. Connect
cable 1-KAB272-x to any of the Data Recorder's connec
tions and the other end to connection X102 of the near
est 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 second FireWire con
nection X102 of the CX22B-R.
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‒R Data
Recorder via FireWire, with a supply feed required for at
least every 3rd module. The supply voltages must have
approximately the same voltage level. The general
SomatXR MX modules operating manual contains more
detailed data on this.
Notice
If the modules are used in a vehicle, we recommend to
supply the connected MX modules via a separate battery
or a UPS (e.g. UPX002). The integrated UPS of the
CX22B-R will not power the connected modules. In case
of voltage drops the measurement will stop if the MX
modules are not buffered.
