Connecting multiple CF-2141s to a single CP-2005

The following example shows the data connection of several CF-2141 master modules to one Foxtrot 2 basic module using the SX-1161 Ethernet switch.

The example does not show the power connection. It depends on the location of individual CF-2141 (when placed in different cabinets, it is always necessary to use the power supply located at the CF-2141 module), ev. on the total power consumption (if several CF-2141 together with CP-2xxx and SX-1162 are in one switchboard, it is possible to supply them from one common source).

Notes:

1. The CF-2141 external master network can only be connected to the ETH1 interface of the Foxtrot 2 basic modules (CP-2xxx)
2. For connection we will use a standard UTP cable of category min. Cat.5
3. Max. the length of the UTP cable (of each segment) is 100 m
4. The total maximum number of CF-2141 that can be connected to the CP Foxtrot 2 is 7 pcs
5. Individual CF-2141 can be powered from a common source, it is necessary to take into account the maximum power consumption of all modules on all buses
