SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Note: This operating and installation manual is intended for
use by a competent programmer, electrician, technician, or
engineer. The instructions included in this manual should be
read and kept as a reference document prior to initial controller
installation and use. Incorrect operation of these controllers can
present a significant threat to both individuals and equipment.
In the event of an equipment break down, do not attempt to

5.0 APPLICATION
This operating and installation manual should be used
in conjunction with other SFX manuals in references.
Together, this information should form a basis for the
simple configuration of the controller and the creation
of programs specific to your application needs.
Proper operation of the controller is dependent
on the program that is created and ultimately
downloaded to the hardware, therefore extensive
testing is required. Customers programming the
controller possess the responsibility of ensuring
that both the hardware and software performs
as intended with their applications. Applications
may need to undergo functional safety life cycle
assessment as per guidelines available in safety
manual.
Note: That each controller within the SFX product family requires
the installation of hardware-specific firmware, description files
and libraries before initial use in the application environment.

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The Eaton SFX product line consists of two controller
models (SFX12m, SFX20m), each possessing
a unique number of I/O. The SFX12m/SFX20m
(pictured below) share a common housing.
Each of these units is designed to function over an
extended operating range of supply voltage, from
6 – 32 VDC.
SFX12m/SFX20m
The three integrated CAN ports on these units
support CAN 2.0B, the first of which also possesses
a software configurable termination. An SAE J1939
stack is available. Additionally, the CANLayer2
software library is available for use with CAN bus.
SFX controllers are programmed via CAN using
Eaton’s Universal Service Tool (UST.)
