5.4 – MX2000 System
When ordering an MX2000 system a number of factors
must be taken into account. The number of axes, number
of I/O points and whether the I/O requires optical isola-
tion. The MX-2 and MX-6 power supplies have 24 expan-
sion I/O points that are not optically isolated but can be
interfaced to an OPTO-22 rack module. The MX-2A and
MX-6A power supply has 16 optically isolated inputs and
8 optically isolated outputs. The MX-8 power supply has
no I/O on it.
An Isolated 24 volt supply has been provided which has a
maximum current capability of 750 ma.
Another consideration for the I/O connections is the con-
nector style. The MX-2, MX-6 and any additional expan-
sion I/O cards have 50 pin mass termination connections
and are not optically isolated. The MX-2A, MX-6A and
any additional digital I/O card have plug-in screw termi-
nations and are optically isolated.

tion to make up an MX2000 controller has been provided
