Connecting modules to the 52/XS Core

The control modules and I/O boxes have to be connected to the APC ports of the 52/XS Cores 52-18xx. It is important to connect the peripheral modules to the correct APC port.

Important
Use always shielded CAT5 or CAT6 ethernet cables (at least S/UTP, F/UTP or SF/UTP) to connect these modules to the XS core.

Example 12 Fader and 2 52/XS Multi-I/O Boxes

Important
Use minimum Firmware version 08-01-00 and SXConfig version 8-1-0-0 or the version on the CD supplied with the console, which may be a later version.

Cabling Example: 12 Fader and 2 52/XS Multi-I/O Boxes

Example 4 Fader and 1 52/XS2 I/O core

Important
Use minimum Firmware version 08-01-00 and SXConfig version 8-1-0-0 or the version on the CD supplied with the console, which may be a later version.

1) , 2)
APC port 1 can be used as port for I/O box or DeviceLink if PC TFT View Software is used instead of TFT module.
3)
The APC port 6 is useable either for a fader module, an I/O box or an DeviceLink. Because of this, for example a 12 fader mixing console with three I/O boxes or a 16 fader mixing console with two I/O boxes are the maximum configurations for a 52/SX.
