Safety instructions


Safety instructions

Appropriate use

Themodule and the connected transducers may be used formeasurement anddirectly related control tasks only. Any other use is not appropriate.

To ensure safe operation, themodulemay only be used as specified in the operatingmanual. It is also essential to follow the respective legal and safety regulations forthe application concerned during use. The same applies to the use of accessories.

Each time, before starting up themodules, youmust first run a project planning andrisk analysis that takes into account all the safety aspects of automation technology.This particularly concerns personal andmachine protection.

Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants wheremalfunctions couldcausemajor 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 valueswitches, and such.

Safety rules

Amodulemust not be connected directly to a power supply network. Themaximumpermissible supply voltage is:

CX23-R module 10 VDC ... 30 VDC

EX23-R module 10 VDC ... 36 VDC

MXmodules 10 VDC ... 30 VDC

The supply connection, as well as the signal and sense leads, must be installed insuch away that electromagnetic interference does not adversely affect devicefunctionality. (HBM recommendation: "Greenline shielding design," downloadablefrom the Internet at http://www.hbm.com/greenline.)

Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such away thatadequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (such asaccess checks, password protection, etc.).

When devices areworking in a network, these networks must be designed in such away 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 aline break or other interruptions to signal transmission, such as via the businterfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation device.

2 Setting Up a System



2.1 Getting started with the MX module

To set up aCX23-R controlled system, refer to ConnectingMXmodules to aCX23-R. Otherwise, proceed to get started using the following information.

EachMXmodule has a similar back panel with a power connector, two FireWireconnectors, and oneEthernet connector.

To get started, connect aDC voltage source of 10 to 30 volts (24 recommended) tothe X104 power supply port using the 1-NTX002AC/DC power supply unit or the 1-KAB294-5 power supply cable. Connect the host PC to the Ethernet (X100) orFireWire (X101 or X102) ports of themodule using the 1-KAB273-5 Ethernet cable or1-KAB293-5 FireWire cable, respectively.

Formore information on connecting themodule to a host PC, seeConnecting asinglemodule to host PC andConnectingmultiplemodules to host PC.



NOTEOlder computers require the use of an Ethernet crossover cable. Newercomputers haveEthernet interfaces with autocrossing functions.

SomatXR MXmodules can be used as standalone devices or in a network forcentralized control, data synchronization and shared voltage supply throughFireWire. Formore information onmodule networking, seeConnectingmultiplemodules to host PC andModule synchronization.

Finally, connect the desired sensors. For guidelines on connecting transducers, seeConnecting transducers.

2.2 Power considerations

CAUTIONDefects in themodule cannot be excluded if a supply voltage greater than 30V isused. If the supply voltage drops below 10V, themodule switches off.

Electromagnetic conformityTheSomatXR series and its modules are intended for use in an industrialenvironment. When used in residential or commercial environments, additionalarrangements may be required to limit electromagnetic emissions.

For example, in the case of voltage supply by battery, wrap the power supply cable(1-KAB294-5) around the included inductive coil four times as pictured below.

NOTEThis applies toMXmodules only and not to the supply of CX23-R or EX23-Rmodules.

If using theNTX002 or NTX003AC/DC Power Supply Units, the system complieswith residential / commercial environments (EN 61326 class B) without anyadditional arrangements.

Power via FireWireIf several modules are connected to each other via FireWire for time‐synchronousdata acquisition, the supply voltage can be looped through. The power pack usedmust be able to provide the appropriate output. Themaximum permissible current on



the FireWire connection cable is 1.5 A. The supply connectionmust be repeated ifthe chain is longer.

CAUTIONFor power distribution via FireWire, an external voltage supply with the samevoltage potential is required on every thirdmodule.

If several amplifiers are operated non-synchronously, they must be suppliedseparately.

Uninterruptible power supplyIt is recommended to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in vehicles withbattery operation between the battery andmodule to compensate for voltage dropsduring start procedures. HBM offers the 1-UPX002-2which can provideuninterruptible power for up to threeMXmodules.

To use theUPX002 unit, connect the power supply to the input power connectorusing a 1-KAB2115-2 cable. Connect theUPX002 output power cable to the X104power supply port of theMXmodule.

Formore information on theUPX002 capabilities, refer to the 1-UPX002-2DataSheet.

2.3 Connecting a single module to host PC

Single Ethernet connectionTo connect amodule to the host PC via Ethernet, simply connect the 1-KAB273-5Ethernet cable to the X100 port of themodule and the Ethernet port of the PC.



NOTEOlder computers require the use of an Ethernet crossover cable. Newercomputers haveEthernet interfaces with autocrossing functions.

Single FireWire connectionMXmodules may also be connected via FireWire (IEEE 1394b). FireWireconnections providemodule synchronization, looped through supply voltage up to1.5 A, a baud rate of 400Mbaud (approx. 50MB/sec) and asynchronous (all nodes)or isochronous (in real time) data transmission.

To set up FireWire connection:

1. Insert the 1-IF-002 FireWire ExpressCard into the host PC.

2. Install the "t1394bus_installwizard.exe" driver wizard, available from the systemCD or catmanAP CD.

3. Connect the 1-KAB293-5 FireWire cable to the ExpressCard and then to the firstmodule in the network.

4. Register themodule, if necessary. Please refer to "hbm1394.sys" driver.

5. Findmodules usingMX Assistant.

NOTEIf nomodules are found via FireWire, check all connections betweenmodules,ensure that themodules have been properly registered, and reinstall the driver ifnecessary.



2.4 Connecting multiple modules to host PC

Multiple Ethernet connection with NTP or PTP synchronizationModules can be connected to the PC with standard Ethernet switches. Patch cablesare recommended.

Formore information onNTP andPTP synchronization, seeModulesynchronization.

Multiple FireWire connectionData is transferred, modules are synchronized in timing and voltage is supplied viathe FireWire connections. A maximum of 12modules can be connected in serieswith each other.

NOTEDifferent supply voltage sources need to have the same reference potential andshould be in the same voltage range. Voltage drops occur as a result of cableresistance and internal protective circuits; therefore, a considerably lower supplyvoltage is applied to the last module in the chain. Make sure that at least 10 V isapplied to the last module.



To connect up to 24modules, use a hub. Hubs are devices that connect networkchains together in star configurations. This connectionmode is again limited to 14hops. A hop is the transition from onemodule to another (this means n-1 hops for nmodules in a chain). Depending on the connection situation, 1 to 2 hops are countedin one hub. To count the total number of hops, the longest chain to the data sink mustbe counted (worst case).



Multiple Ethernet connection with FireWire synchronizationThe supply voltage for themodules is looped through FireWire in the configurationshown below (max. 1.5 A through FireWire; for power consumption of onemodulesee specifications in data sheet).

The advantage of this connection structure is the othermodules remain active if theEthernet cable is broken.



2.5 Connecting MX modules to a CX23-R

A CX23-R module can be used to control and process data frommultipleMXmodules to include other transducers such as voltage, current, bridge andthermocouple. MXmodules can be connected directly to theCX23-R module orthrough one ormore EX23-R Ethernet switches.

Refer to theMXModules UserManual formore information on usingMXmodules.

Refer to theCX23-R andEX23-R UserManual formore information.

NOTETheCX23-R automatically configures theMXmodule network address andchecks for firmware updates. If necessary, install new MX firmware beforecontinuing. When aCX23-R is used in the system, synchronization is alwaysdone via PTPv2.

CAUTIONWhen using FireWire to powerMXmodules, make sure that all modules have anEthernet connection to theCX23-R unit or EX23-R switch. Failure to do somaycause undetected synchronization errors in all linkedMXmodules.

Centralized network using direct Ethernet connections

NOTETheCX23-R AUX PWR connector can power amaximum of twoMXmodules.

1. To power the first MXmodule, connect theCX23-R AUX PWR connector to theX104 connector on the first MXmodule using a 1-KAB2110 cable.



CAUTIONDo not exceed 5A current draw from theCX23-R AUX PWRconnector.

2. To power the secondMXmodule, use a 1-KAB272 cable from theX101 or X102connector on first MXmodule to the X101 or X102 connector on the secondMXmodule.

3. Connect theCX23-R ETHERNET1 andETHERNET2 connectors to theMXmodule X100 connectors using KAB2100 cables. This establishescommunication and synchronization between theCX23-R andMXmodules.

Distributed network using EX23-R Ethernet switches

1. Connect theCX23-R, EX23-R andMXmodules to a power supply.

NOTEWhen designing the power system, note that increased cablelengths can produce significant voltage drops at themoduleconnectors, especially when using PoE or poweringmultiplemodules from one source.

NOTEMXmodules may also be powered in serial using FireWireconnections. Refer to theMXModules UserManual for details.



2. Use a 1-KAB2107 cable to connect theCX23-R ETHERNET1 connector to theEX23-R switch.

NOTEFor optimal data throughput performance, do not use bothCX23-REthernet ports when using EX23-R modules.To usemultiple EX23-R modules, connect any Ethernet port onthe new EX23-R module to any openEX23-R Ethernet port.

3. Use 1-KAB2100 cables to connect theMXmodule X100 connectors to theEX23-R switch.

2.6 Module synchronization

If measurement signals need to be referenced over timewith each other forprocessing and analysis, they must be recorded synchronously.

All SomatXR modules can be synchronized among themselves. This ensuressimultaneous measurement on all channels. All the analog-digital converter rates,measuring rates and bridge excitation voltages are also synchronized.

To achieve a precise reference over time, the applicable channels must beparameterizedwith the same filter settings. No automatic runtime correction iscarried out. The filter runtimes are shown in the data sheet. After booting andsuccessful synchronization, the system LED shows green. If synchronization isdisturbed, or not yet established, the system LED shows orange.

Time stamps are appended to themeasured values in the following format:

l Basis: 1.1.2000

l Time stamp: 64 bit

l 32 bit seconds

Synchronization via Ethernet PTPEachSomatXR module can accurately and reliably synchronize its internal clockusing PTP synchronization. This is achieved usingmultiple Ethernet connectionthrough anEthernet switch.

The grandmaster clock in a network is selected automatically according to amasterclock algorithm.



To avoid destroying the synchronization quality in heavy loaded networks, it isrecommended that special PTP switches be used. The switches should supporttransparent clock with either E2E (end-to-end) or P2P (peer-to-peer) to compensatefor the delay in the network.

Synchronization via Ethernet NTPEachSomatXR module can synchronize its internal clock with anNTP server. TheNTP time is distributed to the othermodules usingmultiple Ethernet connectionthrough anEthernet switch or via FireWire. Modules located close together shouldbe synchronized via FireWire if available.

It is possible to achieve accuracies of 1ms or higher depending on the utilization ofthe network andwhether a dedicatedNTP master is being used.

AnNTP software package is included in theHBM software catman®EASY.

Synchronization via FireWireWhen using only SomatXR orQuantumXMXmodules in close proximity (less than 5m), it is recommended to use FireWire connections for synchronization. All themodules are synchronized automatically when they are connected via the FireWirecable. Formore information on FireWire connections, seeConnectingmultiplemodules to host PC.

In a standard configuration, themodule with the highest serial number takes over themaster function. If a CX27module or external synchronization source is present inthe system, it automatically becomes the synchronizationmaster. When starting thesystem, the system time is set once to the actual time.

If SomatXR andQuantumXMXmodules alone are being used, internalsynchronization is sufficient. However, if synchronous measurements are to beperformed by different measurement systems, an external NTP or PTPmastermustbe used for synchronization. This is also a requirement if theMXmodules are a longdistance away from one another and a FireWire connectionwould be too complex.

If an external synchronization source is set, themodule with the bestsynchronization quality automatically becomes themaster and synchronizes allmodules connected via FireWire.

Other synchronization methods

l EtherCAT®: To time-synchronize via EtherCAT®, aQuantumX CX27EtherCAT/Ethernet gateway is required. For details, please refer to theQuantumXmanual.

l IRIG-B: IRIG-B is a standardized time coding and can only be used incombinationwith theMX840B-R module.



2.7 Connecting transducers

Shielding designSources of interference can cause electromagnetic fields which can induceinterference voltages inductively or capacitively via the connection cable and devicehousing in themeasurement circuit and therefore interfere with the device function. Itmust be ensured that the devices used in the system also do not transmit anyelectromagnetic interferences. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), whichencompasses both the required electromagnetic interference immunity (EMI) and thepermissible electromagnetic interference emissions (EME), has becomeincreasingly important over the years.

According to theHBMGreenline shielding concept, themeasuring chain iscompletely enclosed by a Faraday cage by appropriate routing of the cable shield.The cable shield is extensively connectedwith the transducer housing and is routedvia the conductive plug to the amplifier housing. The influence of electromagneticinterferences is significantly reduced by thesemeasures.

NOTEAll parts of themeasurement chain (including all cable connection points such asplugs and couplings)must be surrounded by a closedEMC‐proof shield. Shieldjunctions must represent a full contact, closed and low‐impedance connection.This is the case for original HBM plug connections.

Ground connection and groundingAs the signal ground and shielding are separated in EMC‐compliant cabling, theshielding can be connected at more than one point to the ground, i.e. via thetransducer (metal housing) and the amplifier (housing is connected to the earthconductor).

If there are differences in potential in themeasuring system, a potentialcompensating linemust be laid (reference value: Highly flexible strandedwire, wirecross section 10mm2). Signal and data leads must be set up physically separatedfrom current‐carrying power lines. Ideally, cable ducts made of sheet metal with aninternal partition should be used. Signal ground, earth and shieldingmust be laid outas separated as possible.

In order tominimize the influence of electromagnetic interferences and differences inpotential, the signal ground and earth (or shielding) are designed to be physicallyseparate in theHBM devices. Themains earth connector or a separate earthpotential lead should serve as the earth connection as is the case for exampleregarding potential compensation in buildings. The earth cable should not beconnected to a radiator body, water pipe or similar objects.

Active transducer connectionSomemodules can supply active transducers with a supply voltage of 5-24 volts.



When using the adjustable transducer excitation, electrical isolation from the supplyvoltage of the amplifier is not required.

Themaximum permissible power consumption is 700mW per channel and 2W total.If the power consumption is more than 700mW on one channel, the transducerexcitation of this channel switches off. If the power consumption exceeds a total of 2W, the devicemay switch off.

CAUTIONCheck the correct voltage settingwhen connecting a sensor. Too high a voltagecan destroy the sensor. The voltage value is a part of theMXmoduleparameterization and can only be changedwith a new parameterization. Thesensor supply is switched off in the delivery condition.

2.7.1 TEDS

TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheet) refers to the electronic data sheet of atransducer or sensor that is stored in a small electronic chip or appropriatemodulewhich is permanently connected to the device in the transducer housing, theinseparable cable or the connector plug.

TEDS allows automatic parameterization of a channel immediately after a sensorhas been connected. Every measurement channel allows reading or writing ofsensor data to the TEDS chip. The sensor database is used to describe a sensor. Ifa TEDS sensor is connected, this information is written. In addition, valuablemeta‐data such as calibration data are delivered providing important information for thetraceability of measurements or tests.

NOTEThe function andworkingmethod of TEDS are defined in Standard IEEE1451.4.

Transducer information stored in the TEDS datamemory:

l The physical unit of themeasured quantity (e.g. N for force) and its measuringrange

l The unit of the electrical output signal (e.g. mV/V for bridge transducers)

l The linear characteristics as the relation between themeasured quantity and theelectrical signal

l If applicable, the requisite excitation and electrical power supply of the transducer

Additional information that could be read out using relevant software:

l Transducermanufacturer, type, serial number, etc.

l Calibration date, recalibration interval, calibrator's initials, etc.



The amplifiers in the SomatXR series are capable of reading the transducerinformation stored in the data sheet and automatically converting it into amplifiersettings to enable rapid and safemeasurement operation.

The electronic data sheet is read automatically as soon as the transducer isconnected to the device. The electrical bridge between two pins in the plug serves asthe “transducer identification". The amplifier switches automatically to the configuredmeasurement mode after the digital identificationmode.

The TEDS data can also be read in via a software command, e.g. with catman®AP.

SomatXR Ultra-RuggedDAQ supports several options for reading andwriting TEDSdata:

l It is possible to access a TEDSmodule via two separate cable wires (“one-wirecircuit") or retrofit TEDS in the transducer connector.

l Amplifiers with direct connection of IEPE transducers support TEDS Version 1.0.

l A special TEDSmodule is integrated in someHBM transducers, this can transmitthe TEDS data via the feedback line of a sensor (patented “zero‐wire circuit").

l Thermocouple amplifiers with RFID chips on the transducer connector support theTEDS technology.

NOTEFurther information about TEDS topics can be found athttp://www.hbm.com/teds.

NOTEIf using a TEDS calibration table for nonlinear transducer scaling, make sure thatthe TEDS chip is written by theHBM TEDS Editor version 3.4.0.6 or later;catman® version 3.4.1 or later; or QuantumX/MX Assistant version 2.6.R1 orlater.

Retrofitting TEDS in transducer connectorsThe IEEE standard 1451.4 defines a generally acknowledged process with whichsensors can be identified. The sensor is identified via the respective data sheetwhich is stored in electronic format in the sensor, cable or plug on a 1-wire EEPROM(TEDS - Transducer Electronic Data Sheet). The amplifier communicates with thisEEPROM via the serial 1-wire interface, reads the data sheet andmakes thecorresponding amplifier settings.

HBM recommends the TEDS chip (1-wire® EEPROM)DS24B33 fromMaxim. HBMoffers a packagewith 10 TEDS (1-TEDS-PAK).

http://www.hbm.com/teds



2.8 Digitalization and signal path

EachSomatXR measurement channel generates two signals. These signals can beindividually parameterizedwith a different data rate and filter. Parameterization iseasiest to implement with theMX Assistant software.

If several modules are connected together via FireWire, signals can be sent in realtime (isochronous), e.g. from signal source to an output (analog, CAN or EtherCAT).This isochronous real time operation is possible in parallel to the asynchronousoperation. Themaximum data rate here is 4.8 kHz.

SomatXR Ultra-RuggedDAQ supports two-point scaling (y=mx+b).

Thermocouple with TEDS functionality (RFID)Measuring point identification

AnRFID chip in or on the thermocouple plug ensures wireless transduceridentification through the amplifier. RFID technology enables contactless readingandwriting of data such as the precisemeasuring point or the required physical unit(°C or °K). It is written onto theRFID chip via a correspondingRFID transponder inthe amplifier.

The chip is reusable andworks without batteries.

TheMX1609KB-R has a rescaling function. Errors from thermocouples or installationsituations can beminimized using a table that converts values from degreeC todegreeC.

TheMX1609KB-R can process maximum 64 value pairs. 14 value pairs can bestored in the TEDS template “Calibration Table" if no additional optional templatesare used.

This function delivers the best results when the ambient temperature of theMX1609KB-R, and therefore the temperature of the cold junction, is kept constant.

l All channels can read/write via RFID

l The neighboring channel must not be occupied duringwriting

6.1 Output measurement signals to CAN bus

6.1.1 MX840B-R

TheMX840B-R Universal Amplifier allows channels 2-8 to output to theCAN bus(channel 1). This mode is configured entirely in theMX Assistant.

6.1.2 MX 471B-R

TheMX471B-R CAN Module allows measurement signals, or the signal calculatedin real time, to be output to theCAN bus. This gateway mode is typically used in testbenches or inmobilemeasuringmode, for connection to a central CAN-based datalogger.

This mode is configured entirely in theMX Assistant. The signals to be transmittedmust be parameterized isochronously (in real time), and then assigned to the relevantCAN port. The parameterization is permanently stored in themodules (EEPROM).To simplify integration at the opposite end (e.g. logger/test bench), theMX Assistantcan generate aCAN database of signals (.dbc).

6.2 Output signals in real time

6.2.1 MX878B

TheQuantumXMX878B AnalogOutput Module allows for up to eight analog voltageoutputs formeasured sensor values and channel calculations in real time. This modeis configured using theCX23-R Data Processor or using the catman®AP orMXAssistant software. All otherMX modules must be connected via FireWire, and thesignals to be transmittedmust be parameterized isochcronously (in real time) andthen assigned to the relevant analog voltage output. The parameterization ispermanently stored in themodules (EEPROM). Themaximummeasuring rate islimited to 5 kHz. Themapping of harmonic signals up to approximately 500Hz isexcellent.

6.2.2 CX27B via EtherCAT® and Ethernet

Each source from anMXmodule is distributed into two signals, to which differentdata rate and filtering parameters can be assigned. For example, the first signal of aninput channel can have a high data rate (e.g. acceleration sensor with 100 kS/sec)and deactivated filter for analysis while the second signal can have a lower data rate(e.g. 5 kS/sec) and be output via EtherCAT®.
