When connecting a DPX2 sensor package containing one DPX2
sensor:
A maximum of eleven DPX3 sensor packages can be cascaded
because 12-1=11.
DX Sensor Packages
Most DX sensor packages contain terminals for connecting detectors or
actuators. For information on connecting actuators or detectors to DX
terminals, refer to the Environmental Sensors Guide or Online Help on
Raritan website's
Support page
(
).
You can cascade up to 12 DX sensor packages.
When cascading DX, remember that the PX3 only supports a maximum of
32 sensors and/or actuators.
If there are more than 32 sensors and/or actuators connected, every
sensor and/or actuator after the 32nd one is NOT managed by the PX3.
For example, if you cascade 12 DX packages, and each package contains
3 functions (a function is a sensor or actuator), the PX3 does NOT
manage the last 4 functions because the total 36 (12*3=36) exceeds 32 by
4.
Tip: To manage the last 4 functions, you can release 4 "managed"
sensors or actuators, and then manually bring the last 4 functions into
management. See
Peripherals
(on page 175).

RJ-45 ports, each of which is located on
either end of a DX sensor package.
