General information
The CX27 QuantumX module is a so-called gateway. A gateway allows networks based on
totally different protocols to communicate with each other.
The main task of the Ethernet/EtherCAT CX27 Gateway is to receive and forward the data of
the modules connected via FireWire.

Data are transferred, module timing is synchronized and optimum voltage is supplied via the
FireWire connections. Data transmission is asynchronous (all nodes) or isochronous (to a
specific node, e.g. CX27).
You can interconnect a total of twelve modules in series via FireWire.
The connection to the modules can either be made with appropriate FireWire connection
cables (1-KAB269-x), or via the BPX001 backplane (see Fig. 2.2). The backplane
interconnects up to nine modules, without the need for complicated cabling, and can link
these to additional modules or backplanes via two additional FireWire sockets. The FireWire
interfaces of the individual modules are actively connected to each other.
