S
What must I watch out for when connecting the PMX
to a PC?
The Ethernet cable must be connected. Both nodes
(PMX (factory setting DHCP) and PC) must be set to
DHCP. The connection is established by entering
"PMX" in the browser bar.
S
Can problems occur if the Ethernet, fieldbus and
synchronization RJ45 connections are mixed up?
No. All connections are short-circuit proof. Errors can
be identified via the status LEDs on the device or in
the PMX web browser.
S
What must I watch out for when replacing the plug-in
cards?
The PMX must be de-energized! When you switch on,
all the cards are automatically detected. Any new
cards that are added have to be parameterized. The
factory settings are loaded. All parameters must be
reentered, also for the existing cards. This does not
apply to the replacement of communication/fieldbus
cards.
S
How can I synchronize several PMX?
By connecting with standard Ethernet cables using the
SYNC sockets. The first PMX is automatically
configured as the master, all the others are
automatically slaves. There is a maximum number of
20 PMX devices that can be networked.
S
How many measurement channels are available?
A PMX can be fitted with a fieldbus card and max. 4
measurement cards. 4 measurement channels are
possible for each measurement card, i.e. a total of 16
measurement channels.
