Sonix 2Mx Technical Manual

SONIX 2MX TECHNICAL MANUAL  

TM370 / A  June 2022  www.eaton.com

7.3.1  N+1 Tap PCB

The N+1 tap PCB is added into the rack design to 

improve amplifier and beacon controller monitoring on 

the secondary 2Mx controller. Its function is two-fold, 

first to provide a ‘copy’ of the amplifier/beacon status 

replies and second to provide full coverage when the 

primary 2Mx controller is disabled or powered down.

The CAT6A connections are shown in Figure 17. One 

tap PCB is required for Amplifier Bus and a second 

for Beacon Bus, if in use. The connections for the 

beacon bus follow an identical pattern to amplifier bus 

connections shown..
